Data Center Mechanical Engineer

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

* Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, a related technical field, or

equivalent practical experience.

* 5 years of mechanical engineering experience supporting construction for

industrial or mission-critical facilities.

* Experience with chilled water plants, hydronic balancing, and

evaporative/non-evaporative cooling topologies (e.g., cooling towers,

chillers, CRAHs).

* Ability to travel upto 50% of the time.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

* Understanding of pressurized systems and heavy equipment rigging safety.

* Understanding of electrical systems to facilitate effective cross-discipline

collaboration.

* Ability to diagnose mechanical integration issues in real-time and work

closely with mechanical contractors to ensure high-quality delivery on

schedule.

* Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to

navigate a complex matrix organization.

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 Mechanical Engineer, you will serve as the primary on-site

authority for large-scale thermal management, ensuring that complex cooling

infrastructures essential for high-availability environments are installed,

integrated, and optimized according to design intent. Acting as the lead

technical point of contact for mechanical and HVAC-related engineering questions

during construction, you will bridge the gap between high-level thermal designs

and physical site execution to ensure maximum system reliability and efficiency.

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:

* Act as the definitive technical resource for mechanical contractors and

Engineer-on-Record (EORs), supporting mechanical system design and assisting

to resolve ambiguities in mechanical systems to maintain construction

momentum.

* Collaborate with cross-functional teams for the resolution of complex issues,

design intent, and changes to the design during the construction process.

* Lead the field-side Request for Information (RFI) process, identifying

potential spatial or mechanical conflicts and providing immediate engineering

solutions to avoid rework.

* Perform periodic, site walk-throughs to verify that mechanical installations

align with engineered specifications, focusing on pressure testing, weld

inspection requirements, insulation integrity, and equipment placement.

* Ensure that evaporative and non-evaporative thermal systems are installed to

meet project-specific standards, local building codes, ASME standards, and

environmental regulations.
