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 a Mechanical Engineer within the Data Center Technology Systems team, you will serve as a technical lead for our global mechanical infrastructure. You will pioneer next-generation cooling systems, innovating custom components and integrating modular design and pre-fabrication strategies to accelerate construction. Collaborating across Planning, Operations, and Execution teams, you will lead new technologies to optimize future products for Google’s machine learning fleet.
You will leverage advanced software tools to conduct detailed thermal analysis, computational fluid dynamics, and hydraulic modeling of complex air and waterside systems. Your deep understanding of thermodynamics will drive the creation of critical engineering specifications and commissioning plans. A concise communicator, you will deliver actionable recommendations to cross-functional partners, ensuring data center scalability and efficiency.
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.
