You will use various investigative tools to reveal important data points in the design process for efficient mechanical systems and articulate complex ideas concisely across all digital mediums. You will provide recommendations to cross-functional engineers and architects to enhance our data centers' mechanical systems and accelerate construction.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.

  • Investigate and lead next-generation mechanical systems to align with company long-term strategies, spearheading the insertion of new technologies by collaborating with core Engineering and Operations teams during development.
  • Create system-level concepts and schematic designs, carrying them through to detailed construction designs and operations.
  • Collaborate with partner teams to optimize the existing fleet and future products to meet the market demands of Google’s Machine Learning fleet.
