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 the Lead Technical Point of Contact (POC) for all electrical engineering and design matters on-site, this role requires a high degree of autonomy and the ability to make critical, real-time engineering decisions to maintain project momentum. In this role, you will serve as the bridge between design and execution, ensuring that power infrastructure is built safely and correctly. 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., * Serve as the primary technical liaison during construction. Resolve design ambiguities and provide engineering solutions to field-fit issues. * Perform periodic site walk-throughs. Review installation quality to ensure strict adherence to engineered drawings and specifications. * Identify and resolve conflicts between design intent and physical site constraints before they impact the construction schedule. * Apply local codes (e.g., NEC/NFPA) and industry standards to ensure every installation is compliant and safe. * Act as a technical mentor and advisor to electrical contractors, ensuring the Request for Information (RFI) process is streamlined and technically sound.
