ABOUT THE JOB:

A problem isn’t truly solved until it’s solved for all. That’s why Googlers

build products that help create opportunities for everyone, whether down the

street or across the globe. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you’ll use

your technical expertise to lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start

to finish. You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks,

manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners

across the company. You're equally comfortable explaining your team's analyses

and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical tradeoffs

in product development with engineers.

Data Center Engineering is the data center engineering team behind Third-Party

Data Centers (3PDC): TPU deployments in partner, colocation facilities that

Google doesn't build or operate. We work across the full lifecycle, from the

first look at a potential site to the day racks power on, and stay engaged

through operations.

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.

US: $240000 - $333000 (USD) + 25% bonus target + equity + benefits

RESPONSIBILITIES:

* Evaluate potential sites for power, cooling, structure, network and schedule

risk. We own the data hall and mechanical/electrical data center scope.

* Exhibit, rack-interface requirements and deviation approvals that turn

Google's standards into contract terms.

* Design liquid cooling and CDUs, power distribution and single lines, etc.

* Track construction, commissioning and floor access gates across partner sites

and engineering labs, and flagging risks before they hit the schedule.

* Escalate and quality Tier 2/3 facility infrastructure escalations during

survey, build, commissioning and operation.
