Data Center Mechanical Engineer

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5 years of experience in mission critical facility design and construction environments.
• 5 years of experience in design, construction, and commissioning of HVAC and mechanical distribution systems, including air and water side systems.
• Ability to travel domestically and internationally up to 50% of the time.

• Master's degree in Engineering, Business, or other relevant field.
• Professional Engineering (PE) license.
• 5 years of experience with mission critical facilities and data centers (multi-tenant facilities or build-to-suit single tenant facilities) in design or construction with project/engineering management.
• Experience working with data center equipment and environments (e.g., switch gear, generators, transformers, controls, security monitoring systems, and fire safety systems).
• Understanding of start up/commissioning processes.

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).

As a Mechanical Engineer, you will play a crucial role in the implementation and operational support of Google’s rapidly expanding data centers. You will be responsible for overseeing the design, construction, and commissioning of HVAC and mechanical distribution systems, ensuring projects are delivered safely, swiftly, and with high quality. You will be managing site-level mechanical engineering issues, ensuring compliance with design standards and local regulations, supporting quality assurance, and providing technical guidance to vendor teams.

You will be a communicator and collaborator who grows on construction sites and has experience with mechanical systems, ideally within mission-critical facilities, heavy industrial, oil and gas, or semiconductor industries.
