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 Reliability Engineer, you will work closely with data center engineers to evaluate data center critical systems’ reliability and availability, conduct Design Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) process across the full product life cycle to ensure data center system design meets goal availability. You will also work with Data Center Operations teams for data center reliability and improvement through Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) and Equipment Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (ERAM) requirements. You will work in a team atmosphere and partner with other experienced Reliability Engineers. Your focus will be primarily on reliability program activities.
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
