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).
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
- Oversee the design, implementation, and issue resolution for monitoring systems throughout the project life-cycle, from concept and detailed design through procurement, installation, and ongoing support.
- Develop and maintain technical protocols for managing critical field system operational data, provide insights on trends, and manage changes to control and monitoring system design requirements.
- Generate Statements of Work and manage System Integrators (SIs) to ensure controls package delivery.
- Establish automated testing protocols, logic simulation, and secure network configurations to validate system performance safely.
- Provide technical support to construction teams and Data Center Operations (DCOps) teams to eliminate field friction and resolve critical BMS issues.
