About the job

Be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Google's direct-to-consumer products. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide. Your expertise will shape the next-generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration.

As a part of the Climate and Energy team, your mission is to use Google technologies to handle climate change and build a sustainable energy future. You will apply different technologies to make transformative, non-incremental advances in global energy systems, including accelerating research into fusion, energy storage, and high-risk projects.

As an Energy Hardware Engineer, you will rapidly evaluate external energy technology proposals and generate your own, leading promising concepts into concrete energy solutions. Your role requires an approach: building prototypes, collaborating with domain experts, and scaling projects from bench to deployment. You must grow in ambiguous research-to-product pipelines, iterate rapidly, and maintain the objectivity needed to recognize when to conclude non-viable projects and reallocate resources.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $188000 - $274000 (USD) + 20% bonus target + equity + benefits

Responsibilities

• Transform energy challenges into validated technical solutions while managing, motivating, and supporting research lab environments or innovation teams as projects grow.

• Design, build, and test experimental apparatuses for physical research and development, influence research direction and produce novel scientific contributions and published findings.

• Scale and manage projects as they grow from initial proof-of-concept to broader initiatives, including recruiting domain experts and establishing teams.

• Perform careful, deep-dive analysis to identify where technologies might fail and where they can be pivoted for success, use simulation and computational analysis to de-risk a pipeline of energy solutions.

• Evaluate the feasibility and merit of different collaboration and grant proposals.
