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).
In this role, you will use your deep technical expertise to oversee data center
projects from site due diligence through construction and operations. You will
manage a comprehensive electrical scope, including power supply options, onsite
generation, substation arrangements, utility interfacing, electrical
infrastructure design, system resilience, and critical electrical studies (e.g.,
arc-flash, power modeling, and AI integration).
You will partner with Architects and Engineers (A/E) to drive technical design
across multiple projects. Using programmatic design principles, you will review
A/E deliverables to ensure all project goals, safety standards, and Google
requirements are met. Furthermore, you will drive cross-disciplinary
coordination for rapid, safe construction and strategically integrate the latest
electrical technologies into our infrastructure roadmaps.
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.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
* Drive scalable electrical systems design (HV, MV, LV, renewables) from site
due diligence through construction, localizing internal standards for APAC
data center projects.
* Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders and vendors to resolve
program-level electrical issues and seamlessly integrate new product
developments.
* Ensure designs and installations meet rigorous requirements through
engineering analysis, factory witness tests, and adherence to safety,
quality, and cost standards.
* Define system-level data center architecture and continuously update internal
design specifications by incorporating lessons learned across all equipment.
* Develop operations and maintenance procedures while advocating best
engineering execution practices for major infrastructure upgrades.
