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.

With your technical expertise, you will conceive, lead and manage projects, develop product and process improvements, provide consultation to others, and help facilitate training and development. You will develop and deliver excellent thermal systems, products, and advanced technologies with a focus on end-to-end, chip-to-chiller, infrastructure stack optimization and innovation opportunities, in collaboration with cross-functional partners.
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
- Contribute to overall system architecture from “chip to chiller” with the ability to make interdisciplinary tradeoffs to optimize total cost of ownership of overall compute infrastructure
- Develop holistic thermal/mechanical/system designs from package to data center level optimizing for cost and efficiency while innovating for performance
- Design thermal management hardware including material selection, heat sinks, heat exchangers, air movers, pumps, and all supporting equipment
- Develop appropriate specifications and test procedures as necessary to ensure desired reliability and performance of electronic equipment, collaborate, supervise, mentor, and motivate suppliers to design and develop excellent products and mentor engineers in all aspects of concept development, analysis, design, and specification
