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/Thermal Cooling Engineer, you will have a deep technical knowledge in thermal management. You will serve as the primary on-site authority, ensuring that cooling infrastructures essential for high-availability environments are installed, integrated, and optimized according to design intent. You will be the lead technical point-of-contact (POC) for all mechanical and HVAC-related engineering questions during the construction phase. You will be responsible for bridging the gap between high-level thermal designs and physical site execution, ensuring maximum system reliability and efficiency. 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…
