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).

As Google expands its data center footprint, we are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Mechanical Engineer to join our growing team.

In this role, you will play a key part in the design, implementation, and management of mechanical systems for our data centers. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including the Engineer of Record (EOR), to ensure our facilities are built to the highest standards of safety, reliability, and efficiency. You will have a passion for mechanical engineering, problem-solving, and a desire to contribute to Google's critical infrastructure.

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.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $144,000-$211,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

Responsibilities:

• Provide expert technical support to data center services and operations teams, defining mechanical system design requirements for multiple data center projects from inception to completion.
• Develop, implement, and manage the mechanical designs at the site level, starting from the Basis of Design through to the issuance of construction documents for new builds, infrastructure upgrades, and renovations.
• Collaborate effectively with the Engineer of Record (EOR) to respond to site-specific engineering Requests for Information (RFI) and ensure alignment between Google's requirements and the overall design.
• Own and manage site-level mechanical/cooling system issues during project execution, collaborating with cross-functional teams to identify and resolve challenges effectively.
