Product area

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide.

We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.

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).

Additional job description

To support delivering AI and Infrastructure at an unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity, the Data Center Control Engineering team takes the control/networking design of our data centers into the future. Our team mirrors a research and product development department where cutting-edge designs/strategies are incubated, developed and productized for construction.

In this role, you will take on complex OT networking and infrastructure challenges to develop new technologies, and optimize processes to further increase our networking posture and networking infrastructure across products.

Qualifications

Job responsibilities

• Develop scope, requirements for networking initiatives to drive the design, implementation, testing of secure, and resilient operational technology (OT) security solutions. Perform design document development, implementation and lab and on-site testing of networking solutions.
• Perform technical review of new control system infrastructure initiatives, embedding networking requirements into the lifecycle from initial design, testing to deployment.
• Serve as a technical liaison and collaborate between cross-functional teams to resolve complex design, integration, and deployment challenges in mission-critical environments.
• Perform sustaining and life cycling activities during pre and post deployment, and operations for networking solutions and OT infrastructure components (e.g., SCADA/HMI servers, clients, software).
• Identify opportunities for continuous improvement and maturation of the OT environment to drive risk reduction.

Minimum qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5 years of experience managing the technical design and implementation of OT infrastructure and networking.
• Experience of industrial control system hardware (PLCs, relays, IEDs, IO modules) and networking layer integration.
• Experience in industrial control system architecture as it pertains to network segmentation, standard protocols (e.g., BACnet, Modbus, OPC, IEC 61850), and system administration.

Preferred qualifications

• Knowledge of, or experience in electrical and mechanical systems.
• Knowledge of, or experience in data center infrastructure/critical infrastructure.
• Ability to generate technical product specifications/requirements, conceptual schematics, and system architecture drawings to drive control networking system projects.
