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).
Our multidisciplinary engineering team provides engineering support in the design, construction, and operation of Google's data centers. We solve design and engineering problems safely, on time, at scale, with the right balance of value and reliability. With a focus on scale, we make things simple and easy to deploy and operate. We keep the existing fleet active and supported through its full life cycle.
As a Data Center Mechanical Engineer, you will prepare all types of documents including Statement of Work (SOW), engineering reports, design docs, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis, drawing markup, budget, schedule, and commissioning program docs.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with core team to understand and develop the Data Center (DC) mechanical designs starting with Basis Of Design (BOD) to Issue For Construction (IFC) for new DC projects build outs and infrastructure upgrades.
- Generate scope of work for the equipment portions for major infrastructure upgrades based on project needs. Work with internal teams to update and document the configuration.
- Own mechanical, fire suppression, and plumbing system issues during design, detailed design, procurement, bidding, manufacturing, delivery, and installation on site.
- Interface with Global Commodities team, the manufacturers and the various global and local engineering teams to deliver the mechanical, fire suppression, and plumbing solutions needed for each project.
- Collaboration and understanding of interrelated issues is expected. Maintain the internal design specifications, drawings and standards to the latest configurations.
