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 a Mechanical Engineer, you will have a demonstrated design, construction, equipment operation and maintenance experience in the area of complex mission critical facilities. You will have knowledge of large-scale data centers, multi-tenant facilities, and mechanical infrastructure systems. You will be involved in the development of complex mechanical 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.
