Job description

from Google careers

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.

With your technical expertise, you ensure compliance with codes and standards, develop infrastructure improvements and serve as an expert in your specialty (e.g., cooling, electrical).

This technical leadership role centers on the end-to-end commissioning and automation of mechanical systems within mission-critical data center environments.

In this role, you will act as the primary bridge between design, automation logic, and operational reality. You'll ensure that cooling and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) infrastructures are not just installed, but rigorously validated for hyperscale performance. You will blend industrial control expertise including Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), and Building Management Systems (BMS) with the project management prowess required to navigate design/build delivery models and third-party partnerships.
