Job description
from Google careersOur 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).
As the Data Center Architectural Design Lead, you will bridge the gap between design and construction. You will lead next-generation infrastructure development, creating scalable solutions from product-level details to top-level assembly. By merging expertise in building codes and life safety with advanced modeling, you will ensure all spaces are optimized for performance, safety, and efficiency.
