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 part of the global controls team, you will work with motivated experts and

innovators in the data center industry. You will be responsible for

troubleshooting, project management, and maintaining the building management

system (BMS) and electrical power monitoring system (EPMS). Using Google

leadership principles, you will develop new processes and standards while

innovating in the controls space.

Google Data centers have multiple components such as generators, UPS, electrical

switchgear, power distribution units, variable frequency drives,

automatic/static transfer switches, chillers, pumps, cooling towers, heat

exchangers, etc. These components have local control systems that interact with

each other via open or proprietary communications protocols. The BMS is the

primary method of control of all mechanical systems within a data center. The

EPMS is the primary method of monitoring all electrical systems within a data

center.

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.
