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.

With your technical expertise, you ensure compliance with codes and standards, develop infrastructure improvements and serve as an expert in your specialty (e.g., cooling, electrical).

As a Staff Mission Critical Electrical Infrastructure Engineer, you will be responsible for ensuring the highest levels of reliability and availability of the electrical power infrastructure across our global data center fleet. You will be the Subject Matter Expert (SME) who drives Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for major equipment failures, global maintenance and commissioning standards for the infrastructure, and provides executive technical direction for system planning, retrofits, and operational troubleshooting.Your core objective is to prevent critical system failures and mentor the next generation of engineers in a 24/7 mission-critical environment.

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.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $214,000-$302,000 bonus equity benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.
