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.

You will lead cross discipline coordination of design updates to existing Google Plan of Record (gPOR) and design and coordination of new gPORs. You will identify major clashes and alignments needed across Architectural, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Telecom, and Fire Protection that affect gPOR construction documents and specifications.

You will lead ownership and development of wayfinding Signage standards for gPOR’s and Third Party data centers. You’ll also interface with external vendors that handle local implementation of signage drawings as well as suppliers.

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.
