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 part of the global controls team, you will work with experts and innovators in the data center industry. You will be responsible for troubleshooting, project managing, and maintaining the Building Management System (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring System (EPMS). Using Google leadership principles, you will develop new processes and standards while innovating in the controls space.

Google Data centers have multiple components such as generators, UPS, electrical switchgear, power distribution units, variable frequency drives, automatic/static transfer switches, chillers, pumps, cooling towers, heat exchangers, etc. All these components have local control systems that interact with each other via open and/or proprietary communications protocols. The BMS is the primary method of control of all mechanical systems within a data center. The EPMS is the primary method of monitoring all electrical systems within a data center.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

US: $121000 - $175000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits

  • Develop and modify controls logic programming and graphical user interfaces while iterating on Sequences of Operation (SOO) with design teams.
  • Provide technical guidance, training, and assistance to internal customers while supporting procurement activities and vendor proposal reviews.
