Lead Data Center Systems Architect

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

* Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems

Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

* 10 years of experience in data center systems engineering, physical

architecture, high-power electrical distribution, or industrial mechanical

systems.

* Experience coordinating with outside design consultants (Architectural and

Engineering (A&E) firms) on facility designs from schematic layout to

construction documents.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

* Master's degree or PhD in an engineering or related technical discipline.

* 8 years of experience leading cross-functional data center system

architecture for hyperscale or mission-critical facilities.

* Experience establishing modular interface standards and driving vendor

ecosystem development for rapid configuration and construction.

* Demonstrated expertise designing for high-density compute platforms (>100 kW

per rack), advanced liquid cooling loops, and modern power distribution

architectures (e.g., Low-Voltage DC / modular busways).

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 Systems Architect, you will serve as the technical anchor

bridging advanced compute hardware roadmaps, facility-level engineering, and

construction execution. You will establish the system-level architectures,

physical row topologies, and electrical/mechanical boundaries required to deploy

next-generation high-density AI/ML clusters and cloud infrastructure at global

scale.

In this role, you will guide designs from early-stage conceptual development

through schematic layouts and construction documentation. You will partner

closely with compute and hardware engineering, thermal/mechanical specialists,

facility operations, and external Architectural and Engineering (A&E) partners

to transform complex engineering trade-offs into modular, highly scalable, and

rapidly deployable infrastructure blueprints.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.

Ireland: €138000 - €141000 (EUR) + 20% bonus target + equity + benefits

RESPONSIBILITIES:

* Develop and own comprehensive data center facility designs, system-level

specifications, and physical/electrical topology plans from concept through

detailed design.

* Formulate multi-generation infrastructure evolution road-maps that address

exponential power growth, accelerated deployment timelines, and

sustainability goals.

* Lead the end-to-end physical infrastructure integration for

ultra-high-density AI/ML accelerator platforms (TPUs, GPUs), including

high-power busways, power tap interfaces, and direct liquid-cooling handoffs.

* Author cross-disciplinary Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and Form, Fit,

and Function (FFF) standards to ensure modular interoperability across

building blocks, power systems, and rack designs.

* Manage and direct outside Architectural and Engineering (A&E) consultants and

equipment manufacturers through schematic reviews, feasibility studies, and

construction document creation.
