About the job

Our thirst for technology is a part of everything we do. The Data Center Engineering team takes the physical design of our data centers into the future.

Our lab mirrors a research and development department -- cutting-edge strategies are born, tested and tested again. Along with a team of great minds, you take on complex topics like how we use power or how to run state-of-the-art, environmentally-friendly facilities. You're a visionary who optimizes for efficiencies and never stops seeking improvements -- even small changes that can make a huge impact. You generate ideas, communicate recommendations to senior-level executives and drive implementation alongside facilities technicians.

In this role, you will be involved in the development of complex electrical systems ranging from incoming utility design down to the rack. Project involvement starts at due diligence, progresses through construction and commissioning, and develops into sustaining support for the internal operations team. You will provide and prepare all types of documents including: facility review checklists, facility audits, statement of work (SOW), total cost of ownership (TCO), concept design reviews, drawing review, budget, schedule, factory test, and acceptance documents.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible.

We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

• Collaborate with internal teams regarding allowable power loading within multi-tenant facilities for rack deployment and load balancing.
