Senior Control Systems Networking Engineer, Data Center

Job description

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).

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.

Responsibilities

• Develop scope, requirements for networking initiatives to drive the design, implementation, testing of secure, resilient operational technology (OT) security solutions.
• Prepare design documentation, and lead the development, implementation, and onsite testing of networking solutions.
• Review new control system infrastructure initiatives, embedding networking requirements into the life-cycle from initial design, testing to deployment.
• Execute sustaining and life-cycle activities during pre- and post-deployment, and operations for networking solutions and operational technology (OT) infrastructure components (e.g., supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)/human-machine interface (HMI) servers, clients, and software).
• Identify opportunities for continuous improvement and maturation of the OT environment to drive risk reduction, and serve as a technical liaison and collaborate between cross-functional teams to resolve complex design, integration, and deployment issues in mission-critical environments.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
• 5 years of experience working on critical infrastructure projects related to process improvements.
• Experience with mission-critical systems and operations (e.g., power generation, data center, refinery, chip fabrication, chemical plant processing, etc.).
• Experience implementing controls engineering.

Preferred qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Engineering or Networking.
• 7 years of experience working with mission-critical facilities (Data Centers, Power Plants, or Manufacturing).
• Experience leading OT networking maturation and improvement initiatives (e.g., secure by design principles, and segmentation strategies).
• Experience with OT networking design and integration.
