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).

Google is looking for a Controls or Systems Engineer with a mastery of Building

Management Systems (BMS), Electrical Power Monitoring System (EPMS) and

Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to execute and deliver the supply of

third-party data center projects.

As the primary on-site technical authority for automation, you will ensure that

the "brains" of the facility—the integration of mechanical, electrical, and

cooling systems—are installed and networked to perfection. You will serve as the

Lead Technical Point of Contact (POC) for all BMS, EPMS, and PLC-related

engineering questions during the construction phase, ensuring that the physical

installation of sensors, controllers, and network architecture aligns with the

logical design intent, enabling seamless system communication and operational

visibility.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.Individual pay is determined by factors

including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $144000 - $208000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits

RESPONSIBILITIES:

* Provide design development oversight and ensure owner’s requirements are met,

act as the definitive resource for integrators and contractors to resolve

ambiguities in sequence of operations (SOO), IOLs, and network topology

diagrams.

* Perform periodic site walk-throughs to verify the physical installation,

ensuring correct placement for accurate readings.

* Identify and resolve discrepancies between design intent and field conditions

to prevent commissioning delays, ensuring hardware matches programmed logic.

* Ensure all installations meet local electrical codes, cybersecurity hardening

standards, Google standards, and project-specific automation requirements.

* Collaborate with Cross Functional Teams for resolution of sequence issues,

controls intent and changes to the SOO during the construction process.
