About the job
Data Center Engineering is the data center engineering team behind Third-Party Data Centers (3PDC): TPU deployments in partner, colocation facilities that Google doesn't build or operate. We work across the full lifecycle, from the first look at a potential site to the day racks power on, and stay engaged through operations.
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. Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
Evaluate potential sites for power, cooling, structure, network and schedule risk. We own the data hall and mechanical/electrical data center scope.
Exhibit, rack-interface requirements and deviation approvals that turn Google's standards into contract terms.
Design liquid cooling and CDUs, power distribution and single lines, etc.
Track construction, commissioning and floor access gates across partner sites and engineering labs, and flagging risks before they hit the schedule.
Escalate and quality Tier 2/3 facility infrastructure escalations during survey, build, commissioning and operation.
