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).\nOur multidisciplinary engineering team provides engineering support in the design, construction, and operation of Google's data centers. As a Senior Mechanical Engineer based in India, you will drive the engineering outcomes for mission-critical complex third-party development, leased and colocation data center sites across the APAC region. You will serve as the primary technical authority representing the company’s design, engineering, and operational standards during technical due diligence, design document reviews, and construction submittal reviews and commissioning ensuring that complex power infrastructure is built safely and correctly.\nThis role is critical for evaluating new facility opportunities, supporting major infrastructure expansion and retrofit projects, optimizing colocation deployments, and ensuring our critical infrastructure is delivered safely, reliably, and efficiently. Leveraging your deep technical expertise, you will collaborate with cross-functional partner teams, lead technical assessments, and mentor other engineers.\nResponsibilities\nLead technical due diligence assessments for potential new leased and colocation data center facilities across APAC, focusing on the entire mechanical system including chilled water plant, data hall air-side and liquid-side cooling systems, fuel oil systems, fire alarm and fire protection systems.\nConduct comprehensive design document reviews (Basis of Design, detailed mechanical drawings, and P&ID) submitted by external A/E or colocation partners. Review and approve equipment submittals, design development and mechanical studies (e.g., CFD, hydraulic analysis).\nLead the field-side RFI process, identifying potential spatial or mechanical conflicts and providing immediate engineering solutions to avoid rework. Own and manage the program and project level mechanical system issues regarding the system design, identify and resolve the issues with cross functional teams and stakeholders.\nQualifications\nMinimum qualifications:\nBachelor's degree in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.\n5 years of experience in mission critical facility design and construction environments.\nExperience in data center mechanical systems including air-cooled/water-cooled chilled water plant, data hall air-side and liquid-side cooling systems, fuel oil systems, fire alarm and fire protection systems.\n\nAbility to travel 15% of the time across APAC countries as required.\nPreferred qualifications:\nMaster's degree in Engineering, Business or other relevant field, or a professional engineering license.\nExperience managing or executing greenfield/brownfield data center developments, expansions and colocation fit-outs.\nTrack record of evaluating and negotiating technical requirements with colocation operators and external engineering/construction partners.\nUnderstanding of global mechanical standards and local standards/practices in various APAC countries.\nFamiliarity with standard data center commissioning methodologies.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3945,"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":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Internet Services","Digital Storage","Digital Media","Marketing Analytics & Attribution"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-02T17:21:28Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/google-senior-data-center-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/google-senior-data-center-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T15:33:05Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":23782,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":82},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=82"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgoogle-senior-data-center-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgoogle-senior-data-center-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgoogle-senior-data-center-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/google-senior-data-center-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgoogle-senior-data-center-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3618367}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"google.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3618367},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
