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 Lead Electrical Engineer (EE) in Data Center Services (DCS) team, you will
drive consistency in technical planning/execution across North America. In this
role, you will be a technical subject matter expert to our on-site execution
teams, sharing best practices, lessons learned, and being a trusted advisor
cross-functionally. You will represent DCS in various programmatic initiatives
where a construction execution lens is required. You will act as an advocate of
continuous improvement, delivery optimization, and closed loop learning,
ensuring our facilities are built to the highest standards of safety,
reliability, and efficiency.
The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google
customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and
Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our
customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users
worldwide.
We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering
the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing
power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable
developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping
the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the
development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking,
Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills,
experience, and relevant education or training.
