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).
The Thermal Systems Engineering team stands at the forefront of accelerating innovation that powers Google's global infrastructure. As a Mechanical Engineer within the Data Center Technology Systems—a multidisciplinary consortium of engineers and architects dedicated to pioneering next-generation data centers—you will assume a pivotal role in the development, analysis, and optimization of the mechanical cooling infrastructure. You will be a technical leader in this space, influencing design standards and equipment selections across our fleet.
In this role, you will be tasked with the design of custom data center cooling equipment and the creation of innovative thermal solutions engineered to meet the demands of an ever-evolving market. You will leverage an advanced suite of analytical tools to unearth crucial data points that inform the design process, ensuring our highly efficient mechanical systems meet strict performance and sustainability metrics.
Responsibilities
- Serve as technical lead to design and develop new data center mechanical infrastructure and innovative custom cooling systems from concept to operation.
- Implement offsite modular construction and pre-fabrication strategies to streamline global deployment, maximizing scalability and efficiency.
- Prepare engineering analyses, drawings, specifications, scopes of work, budgets, schedules, and commissioning test plans.
- Conduct detailed thermal, hydraulic, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses to evaluate and validate proposed technologies.
- Partner with engineering, operations, and planning teams to integrate new technologies and optimize fleets for machine learning demands.
