Ability to travel domestically and internationally up to 50% of the time as required. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS Master's degree in Engineering, Business, or other relevant fields, or a Professional Engineering (PE) license. 5 years of experience with mission critical facilities and data centers (multi-tenant facilities or build-to-suit single tenant facilities) in design or construction with project/engineering management. Experience working with data center equipment and environments (e.g., switchgear, generators, transformers, controls, security monitoring systems, fire safety systems). Understanding of start up/commissioning processes. 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 a Mechanical Engineer, you will play a crucial role in 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 Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and mechanical distribution systems, ensuring projects are delivered safely, swiftly, and with high quality. Your role 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 use your strong communication and collaboration skills who grow on construction sites and has experience with complex mechanical systems, ideally within mission‑critical facilities, heavy industrial, oil and gas, or semiconductor industries.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 worldwide. We're behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of AI models, delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of world‑leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research, and much more. Individual pay is determined by factors including job‑related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. US: $144000 - $209000 (USD) + 15% bonus target + equity + benefits.
