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).

Google's custom-designed machines and data centers constitute one of the largest, most efficient, and most powerful computing infrastructures in the world. As a Senior Staff Data Center Engineer and Technical Lead (TL) for the Data Hall Design team, you will be the primary technical authority steering the physical, electrical, and thermal architecture of our global fleet of hyperscale data halls. You will bridge the gap between hardware systems engineering, facility infrastructure (power and cooling), and construction execution that safeguard Google's global fleet. You will lead the team responsible for productization, standardization, and modularization of data center building shells, server halls, and the associated critical yard enclosures. In this leadership role, you will partner with cross-functional engineering, architecture, supply chain, and deployment teams to deliver scalable, factory-assembled solutions that drastically reduce field labor and accelerate capacity delivery worldwide.

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.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

Responsibilities:

• Define multi-year engineering strategy, technical goal, and architectural standards for Google's global data center fleet as the Technical Lead and ultimate authority.
• Architect physical infrastructure, layouts, and frameworks for hyperscale data hall white space and configurations optimized for next-generation compute, storage, and high-density AI/ML clusters.
• Author and maintain global Basis of Design (BoD) documents, physical topologies, and standardized data hall building blocks to ensure rapid, repeatable, and high-quality deployment.
• Drive factory-based assembly methodologies and modular design principles to maximize design-for-manufacturability (DFM), minimize on-site construction timelines, and enhance advanced protective enclosure quality control.
• Act as the technical bridge between cross-functional teams, major equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and industry consortia to align capabilities with scaling commitments and shape global standards.
