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.

• Act as the definitive technical resource for mechanical contractors and Engineer‑on‑Record (EORs), supporting mechanical system design and assisting to resolve ambiguities in mechanical systems to maintain construction momentum.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams for the resolution of complex issues, design intent, and changes to the design during the construction process.
• Lead the field‑side Request for Information (RFI) process, identifying potential spatial or mechanical conflicts and providing immediate engineering solutions to avoid rework.
• Perform periodic, site walk‑throughs to verify that mechanical installations align with engineered specifications, focusing on pressure testing, weld inspection requirements, insulation integrity, and equipment placement.
• Ensure that evaporative and non‑evaporative thermal systems are installed to meet project‑specific standards, local building codes, ASME standards, and environmental regulations.
