About The Position

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 a Data Center Services Electrical Engineer, you will play a crucial role in
the field-level implementation and operational support of Google’s rapidly
expanding data centers. You'll be responsible for overseeing the design,
construction, and commissioning of complex Electrical distribution systems,
ensuring projects are delivered safely and with high quality. This involves
managing site-level electrical engineering issues, ensuring compliance with
design standards and local regulations, supporting quality assurance, and
providing technical guidance to vendor teams.

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google
customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and
Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our
customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users
