Data Center Mechanical Engineer, NASA

Google • San Francisco, CA

7h • $122,000 - $174,000

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).

Our multidisciplinary engineering team provides engineering support in the
design, construction, and operation of Google's data centers. We solve design
and engineering problems safely, on time, at scale, with the right balance of
value and reliability. With a focus on scale, we make things simple and easy to
deploy and operate. We keep the existing fleet active and supported through its
full life cycle.

As a Data Center Mechanical Engineer, you will prepare all types of documents
including Statement of Work (SOW), engineering reports, design docs, Total Cost
of Ownership (TCO) analysis, drawing markup, budget, schedule, and commissioning
program docs.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3 years of experience in facility design and construction environments.

• Experience working in a cross-functional environment with external vendors, design engineers, and operations teams.

Nice To Haves

• Master's degree in Engineering, Business or other relevant field or a professional engineering license.
• Experience with thermal and hydraulic modeling software (e.g., Cadence Reality/6Sigma, AFT Fathom, FloTherm, or ANSYS).
• Experience with pipe stress analysis.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with core team to understand and develop the Data Center (DC) mechanical designs starting with Basis Of Design (BOD) to Issue For Construction (IFC) for new DC projects build outs and infrastructure upgrades.
• Generate scope of work for the equipment portions for major infrastructure upgrades based on project needs. Work with internal teams to update and document the configuration.
• Own mechanical, fire suppression, and plumbing system issues during design, detailed design, procurement, bidding, manufacturing, delivery, and installation on site.
• Interface with Global Commodities team, the manufacturers and the various global and local engineering teams to deliver the mechanical, fire suppression, and plumbing solutions needed for each project.
• Collaboration and understanding of interrelated issues is expected. Maintain the internal design specifications, drawings and standards to the latest configurations.
