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 is at the forefront of accelerating innovation that powers Google's global infrastructure. We are the vital group behind the thermal solutions for Google's Plan of Record buildings, owning the entire thermal system design from the rack to the chiller.
As a Data Center Thermal Systems Engineer on the Data Center Technology and Systems (DCTS) team, you will play a key role in developing, analyzing, and optimizing the mechanical cooling infrastructure for Google's next-generation data centers. You will use various investigative tools to reveal important data points in the design process for efficient mechanical systems and articulate complex ideas concisely across all digital mediums. You will provide recommendations to cross-functional engineers and architects to enhance our data centers' mechanical systems and accelerate construction.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.
Responsibilities
- Serve as a technical lead for our mechanical infrastructure, collaborating with Planning, Operations, Execution, and Construction teams to develop new data center mechanical infrastructure systems.
- Investigate and lead next-generation mechanical systems to align with company long-term strategies, spearheading the insertion of new technologies by collaborating with core Engineering and Operations teams during development.
- Create system-level concepts and schematic designs, carrying them through to detailed construction designs and operations.
- Collaborate with partner teams to optimize the existing fleet and future products to meet the market demands of Google’s Machine Learning fleet.
