About The Position

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 a Data Center Engineer, you will bridge the gap between high-level
architectural concepts and technical telecommunications reality. You will be
responsible for the 'central nervous system' of our data centers, developing
scalable, integrated solutions at both the product and top-level assembly
stages. By ensuring our telecom infrastructure is robust and efficient, you will
provide the foundational framework necessary for next-generation global
deployment.

In this role, you will work through multi-disciplinary projects and coordinate
with structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, networking, and security
trades. You will be tasked with rationalizing complex requirements into cohesive
one-lines and rack layouts while guiding external consultants in creating
construction-ready drawing packages. With a sharp eye for security requirements
and a talent for managing shifting global priorities, you will play a vital role
in the future of technology in our data centers.

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.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Architectural, or Structural Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent practical experience.

• 5 years of experience as a key contributor to information and communications technology/telecommunications design for large-scale data centers.
• Experience working with external vendors to review and validate telecommunications product specifications and converged network allocations.
• Experience using Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD for 3D modeling of telecommunications rack/tray layouts and markup of vendor files.

Responsibilities

• Rationalize network requirements into conceptual one-lines, rack/tray layouts, and product-level designs to ensure robust telecom infrastructure.
• Partner with Architecture, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Controls, and Security teams to align telecom scope with top-level assembly and product development.
• Utilize Autodesk Revit and other 3D software to develop detailed designs and provide internal/external alignment on infrastructure placement.
• Review and validate construction-level drawings and specifications from external vendors to ensure compliance with program standards and best practices.
• Provide technical engineering judgment for site-specific escalations where canonical designs require adjustments to meet local requirements.
