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).
Google is looking for a Data Center Controls Engineer Lead to define
system-level product architecture and drive Research and Development for our
advanced technology data centers. As the primary technical authority, you will
drive electrical and mechanical controls system engineering analysis and ensure
that designs meet the evolving business requirements for AI and machine learning
infrastructure. You will leverage a deep understanding of Building Management
Systems (BMS), Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS), and Industrial
Control Systems (ICS) to lead cross-discipline projects, resolve complex
automation tests, and act as the definitive technical point of contact for
mission-critical facilities.
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
