Senior Datacenter Engineer

Job description

info_outline 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).

In this role, you will apply your deep technical expertise to oversee data center infrastructure projects from initial site due diligence through design, construction, and operational support. You will drive the technical design and review of mission-critical facilities—including HVAC, heat rejection, water supply and drainage, fire protection, and utility interfacing—while partnering closely with external Architects and Engineers.

Leveraging advanced methodologies such as computational fluid dynamics, pipe stress analysis, and AI-driven insights, you will ensure all designs meet Google's stringent requirements and scalable programmatic principles. By providing strategic guidance, facilitating cross-discipline coordination, and successfully integrating cutting-edge technologies, you will enable fast, safe, and efficient construction that pushes the boundaries of our next-generation data centers.
