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.\nWith 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).\nIn this role, you will serve as the primary technical liaison during construction. Resolve design ambiguities and provide engineering solutions to field-fit challenges. You will perform rigorous, periodic site walk-throughs, review installation quality to ensure strict adherence to engineered drawings and specifications. You will identify and resolve conflicts between design intent and physical site constraints before they impact the construction schedule. You will apply a deep understanding of local codes (e.g., NEC/NFPA) and industry standards to ensure every installation is compliant and safe. You will act as a technical mentor and advisor to electrical contractors, ensuring the RFI process is streamlined and technically sound.\nIndividual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.US: $144000 - $208000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits\nLearn more about benefits at Google.\nResponsibilities\nDefine data center system-level, product architecture, and research and development, while helping to develop operations and maintenance procedures for systems/processes.\nConduct engineering analysis, research designs and methods of data center equipment and facilities.\nEnsure designs and installations meet requirements (e.g., predicted cooling, structural, operational concerns, etc.).\nBring technical authority to the construction site. Serve as the bridge between design and execution, ensuring that complex power infrastructure is built safely and correctly.\nQualifications\nMinimum qualifications:\nBachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.\n5 years of experience in electrical engineering emphasizing power distribution and construction support for mission-critical facilities.\n\nExperience with Low and Medium Voltage systems, including switchgear and transformers.\nAbility to travel up to 50% of the time, work in the field wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and inspect equipment during critical construction phase.\nPreferred qualifications:\nUnderstanding of mechanical and control systems to facilitate effective cross-discipline collaboration.\nAbility to translate complex engineering concepts into actionable instructions for field crews.\nAbility to evaluate technical risks and make authoritative decisions under tight construction deadlines.\nAbility to focus on electrical safety standards, particularly regarding medium voltage hazards.\nAbility to analyze NETA reports and determine necessary mitigations, and manage contractors, lead technical resolution meetings, guide complex brownfield or greenfield installations.\nExcellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to navigate a complex matrix organization.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3692,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Internet
