How did you get into large scale manufacturing and production? Was it a career switch? Downsides? It too fascinates me. Any book recommendations?

It’s also strange because I highly doubt Google has manufactured a billion physical units of anything. Most of their consumer hardware is designed and built by partners, including Pixel.

Technically, there are billions of transistors in every tensor chip manufactured by Google

Even all pixel and nexus models combined must be far off the billion. Apple just hit 3 billion iphones last year.

I think the parent comment said "mental journey", not a real one, although it will be good to get more insights.

Waiting OP response too, fascinating.
