About This Role
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
* Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering, a related
technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
* 10 years of experience in mission critical facility design and construction
environments.
* Experience working with cross-discipline teams (e.g., structural, civil,
IT/Telecom, security, mechanical, or architectural).
* Experience in people management and technical leadership.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
* Master's degree in Engineering, Business or other relevant field.

* 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 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 working with data center equipment/environments (e.g., switchgear,
generators, transformers, controls, security monitoring systems, fire safety
systems), with 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).
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.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
* Research and develop new algorithms and methods for optimizing data center
efficiency and performance. Design, validate, and implement controls
algorithms to manage electrical and mechanical stability.
* Analyze and recommend approaches to manage dynamics of the electromechanical
systems and their interactions within a data center.
* Conduct empirical statistical analysis/modeling on relevant data for use in
data center controls.
* Optimize the entire data center system, with a view across data center
architecture, electrical, cooling, and power management.
* Collaborate with the Engineering team to implement proposed strategies and
algorithms in our technology system; develop Machine Learning algorithms for
pattern recognition and Bayesian and non-linear systems.
