About the job
Our computational challenges are so big and unique we can't just buy our hardware, we've got to make it ourselves. Our Platforms Team designs and builds the hardware, software and networking technologies that power all of Google's services. As a Mechanical Engineer you design and evaluate our data center systems, identifying product requirements and contributing to research and project planning. From the chip to chiller, you are responsible for designing and optimizing an architecture that will scale with Google's continued growth.
With your technical expertise, you lead and manage projects, develop product and process improvements, provide consultation to others and help facilitate training and development.
The Data Center Delivery and Engineering team is a collection of civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design experts, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, construction project managers, water/air experts, data center services managers, and project controls managers who schedule, design, and construct exceptionally efficient data centers at a fast-paced, sustainable, and scalable manner.
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.
Responsibilities
Drive project mechanical outcomes of high complexity and scope as a key contributor, integrating feedback from multiple stakeholders.
Provide mechanical technical leadership, resolving critical field issues, contribute to project mechanical scoping and direction, manage project mechanical priorities, and allocate technical resources. Participate in the selection and onboarding of new vendors.
Provide technical leadership to the projects, support and optimize project design, scope, schedule, quality, commissioning, and safety for mechanical discipline. Provide feedback/improvements to the central partner teams.
Contribute to the Quality and Commissioning Plans for the mechanical discipline, and support mechanical Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and all off/on site commissioning. Support the Health, Safety and Environment Plan, and design and construct compliance.
Support interactions with the authorities, solutioning on inspection deficiencies, third-party inspections, and advance statements/instructions from authorities' correction requests.
