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 part of the global controls team, you will work with experts and innovators
in the data center industry. You will be responsible for troubleshooting,
project managing, and maintaining the Building Management System (BMS) and
Electrical Power Monitoring System (EPMS). Using Google leadership principles,
you will develop new processes and standards while innovating in the controls
space.
Google Data centers have multiple components such as generators, UPS, electrical
switchgear, power distribution units, variable frequency drives,
automatic/static transfer switches, chillers, pumps, cooling towers, heat
exchangers, etc. All these components have local control systems that interact
with each other via open and/or proprietary communications protocols. The BMS is
the primary method of control of all mechanical systems within a data center.
The EPMS is the primary method of monitoring all electrical systems within a
data center.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills,
experience, and relevant education or training.
