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 and the research and development department strategies are born, tested and tested again. Along with a team of great minds, you take on 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 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 part of the structural engineer role, you will design and develop products, develop and review structural design calculations, project scopes and schedule for structural work, produce structural specifications, design basis and construction drawings, demonstrate knowledge in staad.pro, sap2000, etabs, safe, ram structural system, mathcad, spreadsheet software or similar structural design software. You will provide structural engineering and technical oversight of new modular data center designs, support program planning and program strategies, engage in typical work tasks including program structural drawing design development and review and development of program data center structural plans including new modular equipment and product designs, and support improvements to existing structural program design standards and support development of program products.

Responsibilities

Prepare and update internal google requirements and specifications for data center infrastructure. Review and evaluate data center designs, ensuring technical compliance and adherence to google's standards. Collaborate with other engineering disciplines (mechanical, electrical, civil, etc.) to ensure a co-ordinated and integrated design. Conduct thorough reviews of detailed design documents for data center buildings and equipment enclosures, ensuring accuracy, compliance with requirements, and proposing alternatives for optimal performance.
