MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

* Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering, a related

technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

* 5 years of experience in mission critical facility design and construction

environments.

* Experience in electrical infrastructure.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

* Professional Engineering (PE) license.

* Experience in design, construction, and commissioning of high voltage

substations, medium or low voltage electrical distribution systems, AC/DC

systems, and associated power management or SCADA tools.

* Experience in estimating, electrical design, operation, and commissioning of

substations, switchgear, ATP/ATS, emergency power systems and their control

systems, power monitoring, and electrical protection.

* Experience working with data center equipment and environments (e.g.,

switchgear, generators, transformers, controls, security monitoring systems,

fire safety systems), with a strong understanding of start up/commissioning

processes.

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 a Data Center Services Electrical 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 complex Electrical distribution systems,

ensuring projects are delivered safely, swiftly, and with high quality. This

involves managing site-level electrical engineering issues, ensuring compliance

with design standards and local regulations, supporting quality assurance, and

providing technical guidance to vendor teams. We're looking for a strong

communicator and collaborator who thrives on construction sites and has

experience with complex mechanical systems, ideally within mission-critical

facilities, heavy industrial, oil and gas, or semiconductor industries.

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:

* Own and resolve site-level electrical issues during project execution.

Maintain all DC-related electrical design requirements, interface documents,

and ensure compliance with the change control process.

* Partner with core engineering to integrate new technologies, providing

site-specific requirements during BOD development and coordinating schematics

with the EOR to meet local requirements.

* Understand ongoing electrical project requirements, respond to Requests for

Information (RFIs) with the Engineer of Record (EOR), and manage the site bug

process with cross-functional teams.

* Collaborate with DCDE core teams to develop and manage site electrical

designs—from Basis of Design (BOD) to Issued for Construction (IFC)—for new

builds, upgrades, and renovations.

* Provide technical support to operations and data center services to define

electrical design requirements for multiple DC projects from inception to

completion.
