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).

Google is seeking a Data Center Control Systems Engineer to join our team and act as a technical leader in the design and strategy of our global data center infrastructure.

In this role, you will leverage your deep expertise to define the future of our complex, mission-critical facilities. You will be an expert in facility control systems and have a proven track record of influencing cross-functional teams and driving long-term technical roadmaps.
