Solid communication and troubleshooting skills across teammates, vendors, and stakeholders to iteratively improve systems, processes, and relationships. Organizational capacity to maintain a portfolio of metrology and design capabilities for ongoing product experimentation and engagement. About the job Geo Hardware creates the devices that provide the most detailed imagery of our planet to drive a variety of direct and intermediate value to mapping and other partner and consumer value. A massive focus of this effort is our imagery, and the most consequential part of that imagery (apart from ensuring that we properly record where it is taken) is the quality of the pixels. The optical path is crucial for this effort, and our requirements are unique. This makes mastery of several optical disciplines (theoretical and physical foundations, optical materials and coatings, design and simulations, opto-mechanics and packaging, sources detectors and opto-electronics, fabrication/manufacturing, and metrology/characterization) important for this role. As a Senior Staff Optical Engineer, you will require strong communication in order to effectively function in this role, in addition to strong technical execution and leadership. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Not stated - First seen by OpenNash: Nov 7, 2026 - Last checked: Nov 7, 2026 - Listed for: Under a day - Location: Mountain View, CA, USA[Apply on Alphabet’s careers site →](https://www.google.com/about/careers/applications/jobs/results/101837123769770694-senior-staff-optical-engineer-geo) ## Hiring at Alphabet - Open jobs: 3,389 - New in the last 7 days: After two weekly collections - Tracked since: Aug 20, 2026 [All Alphabet jobs](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/alphabet/) · [Weekly hiring report](/reports/hiring/) ## More jobs at Alphabet ### [Senior Staff Site Reliability Engineer, AViD, YouTube Ads](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/alphabet/jobs/3def69b739cabf2dcda1/) Mountain View, CA, USA ### [Silicon Engineer, Physical Verification, DeepMind](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/alphabet/jobs/48376fb0f7c144c5b600/) Mountain View, CA, USA ### [Silicon Engineer, Power Analysis, DeepMind](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/alphabet/jobs/f84492ca796f3a83a14a/) Mountain View, CA, USA ### [Site Reliability Engineer- SWE- Cloud (Multiple Openings)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/alphabet/jobs/d1c12d29535b199b0b51/) Mountain View, CA, USA ### [Senior Staff Research Data Scientist, AI Data Research](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/alphabet/jobs/2d54676942ba3f6df8e4/) Mountain View, CA, USA ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Retail Geo Manager - Hybrid](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/johnson-controls-international/jobs/3fbd227dc336004f63ee/) Johnson Controls International · Orlando-Florida-United States of America ### [VP, Performance Content GEO and AI Search](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/publicis-groupe/jobs/4710959632d6d33b696c/) Publicis Groupe · New York ### [Engineered Solutions Specialist - Geo Stormwater](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ferguson-enterprises/jobs/202ade5e1875f67076a4/) Ferguson Enterprises · Remote ### [GEO Strategist, Apple Services](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/apple/jobs/73cc3c263706e2fc7f85/) Apple · Cupertino, United States of America ### [Director, AI Visibility and GEO Strategy](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/publicis-groupe/jobs/f30583c9a4ccc6cb8c1d/) Publicis Groupe · Chicago [Jobs in Mountain View, CA](/locations/us/ca/mountain-view/)[Jobs in California](/locations/us-ca/)[Operations jobs](/functions/operations/) OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
