About the job
Google isn't just a software company, we build the physical internet. The Hardware Operations team is the boots-on-the-ground crew responsible for the equipment behind Google's technology.
As an Engineer on our team, your job is to keep the hardware and networks physically connected and running smoothly in our data centers. You will install, configure, and troubleshoot physical servers, network switches, and cabling. When something breaks, you’ll be the one diagnosing the hardware issue and making the repair. You’ll also step up to help lead projects during major facility upgrades and new equipment rollouts.
A normal day involves using tools, manually moving server racks, and navigating a large-scale industrial environment. You don't need to know our specific software to succeed here. If you have a foundation in skilled trades, equipment maintenance, or IT support, and you love taking things apart just to see how they work, we can teach you the rest.

- Dismantle outdated equipment that has reached the end of its life, salvaging usable components and recycling the rest.
