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.

As a Data Center Electrical Engineer, you have demonstrated design, construction, equipment operation and maintenance experience in the area of complex and mission critical facilities. You have knowledge of large-scale mission critical electrical infrastructure systems and you'll be involved in the development of complex electrical infrastructure - from site assessments and concept design, to construction projects and major modification and upgrade of existing infrastructure. You will also provide and prepare documents, including statement of work (SOW), total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis, concept designs, drawing markups, budgets, schedules, factory test and acceptance documents, final startup/commissioning reports and review and acceptance of as-built and submittals.

Google is and always will be an engineering company. We hire people with a broad set of technical skills who are ready to take on some of technology's greatest challenges and make an impact on millions, if not billions, of users. At Google, engineers not only revolutionize search, they routinely work on massive scalability and storage solutions, large-scale applications and entirely new platforms for developers around the world. From Google Ads to Chrome, Android to YouTube, Social to Local, Google engineers are changing the world one technological achievement after another.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with the core team to understand, develop and update the data center electrical designs, starting from basis of design (BOD) to issue for constructions (IFC) documents for new data center project build-outs and major infrastructure upgrades to all levels of testing and commissioning works.
• Manage all power system issues during concept design, detailed design, procurement, bidding, manufacturing, delivery and installation on site. Identify and resolve issues raised by the cross-functional teams and various external stakeholders.
• Generate scope of work for the equipment portions of major infrastructure upgrades based on project needs. Work with internal teams to update and document the configuration as it evolves.
• Interface closely with the Global Commodities team, manufacturers and various global and local Engineering teams in order to deliver the electrical solutions needed for each project.
• Update and maintain the internal design specifications, drawings and standards in accordance with the latest configurations and including all 'lessons learned' in relation to all equipment.
