Provide expert technical support to data center services and operations teams, defining Mechanical system design requirements for multiple data center projects from inception to completion.Develop, implement, and manage the mechanical designs at the site level, starting from the basis of design through to the issuance of construction documents for new builds, infrastructure upgrades, and renovations.Collaborate effectively with the Engineer of Record (EOR) to respond to site-specific engineering Requests for Information (RFI) and ensure alignment between Google's requirements and the overall design.Work closely with the core engineering team to provide site-specific requirements during the development of the Basis of Design (BOD) and coordinate system-level schematics with the EOR.Own and manage site-level power system issues during projects execution, collaborating with cross-functional teams to identify and resolve challenges effectively.Minimum qualifications:Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.12 years of experience in design, construction and commissioning of HVAC and mechanical distribution systems, including air and water side systems.12 years of experience in mission critical facility design and construction environments.Experience in mechanical infrastructure.Ability to travel domestically and internationally up to 50% of the time as required.Preferred qualifications:Master's degree in Engineering, Business, or other related field.Professional engineering license.Experience in design, construction, and commissioning of mechanical cooling plants, fire suppression systems, fuel oil systems, domestic water systems, and sanitary sewer systems in mission critical environment.Experience in designing complex modular building scale assemblies, with an understanding of mechanical tolerances and tolerance analysis.Experience in estimating, mechanical design, operation, and commissioning of mission critical data center mechanical equipment.Expertise in the areas of design for medium-scale production, structural beams/elements, and international building codes, with knowledge of mechanical engineering and design principles.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 Senior Data Center Mechanical Engineer, you will be part of the implementation and operational support of Google’s rapidly expanding data centers. You will be responsible for overseeing the design, construction, and commissioning of complex HVAC and mechanical distribution systems, ensuring projects are delivered safely, swiftly, and with high quality. This involves managing site-level mechanical engineering issues, ensuring compliance with design standards and local regulations, supporting quality assurance, and providing technical guidance to vendor teams. You will be a strong communicator and collaborator who grows on construction sites and has experience with complex mechanical systems, within mission-critical facilities, heavy industrial, oil and gas, or semiconductor industries.Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
