About the job

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).

As Google expands its data center footprint, you will join our growing team as an electrical engineer. In this role, you'll play a part in the design, implementation, and management of electrical systems for our data centers. You'll collaborate with cross‑functional teams, including the engineer of record, to ensure our facilities are built to standards of safety, reliability, and efficiency.

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.

• Collaborate with the engineer of record (EOR) to respond to site‑specific engineering requests for information (RFI) and ensure alignment between Google's requirements and the overall design.
• Work with the core engineering team to provide site‑specific requirements during the development of the basis of design (BOD) and coordinate system‑level schematics with the engineer of record.
• Manage site‑level power system issues during project execution, collaborating with cross‑functional teams to identify and resolve challenges.
