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.
As the Electrical Engineer you will be responsible for the technical support of the localized design effort (Campus Plan through to Detailed Design) for field engineering support through project delivery and commissioning, and for engineering reviews of the close out documentation. In addition, and depending on the Campus activities, you will support the electrical design and delivery on Moves, Adds, Retrofits, Changes, Upgrades, and Security projects (MARCUS) within operational data centers. You will liaise with the Data Center Operations team on all electrical warranty issues.
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.
