ABOUT THE JOB:

Our thirst for technology is a part of everything we do. The Data Center

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 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.
