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 Services Mechanical Engineer, you will play a crucial role in
the field-level implementation and operational support of Google’s rapidly
expanding data centers. You will be responsible for overseeing the design,
construction, and commissioning of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
(HVAC) and mechanical distribution systems, ensuring projects are delivered
safely, swiftly, and with high quality. This involves managing site-level
mechanical engineering issues, ensuring compliance with design standards and
local regulations, supporting quality assurance, and providing technical
guidance to vendor teams.

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.
