Senior Data Center Mechanical Engineer, Special Projects

About the role

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 the 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.

Responsibilities

• Provide expert technical support to data center services and operations teams, defining Mechanical system design requirements for multiple data center projects from inception to completion.
• Develop, implement, and manage the mechanical designs at the site level, starting from the basis of design through to the issuance of construction documents for new builds, infrastructure upgrades, and renovations.
• Collaborate effectively with the Engineer of Record (EOR) to respond to site-specific engineering Requests for Information (RFI) and ensure alignment between Google's requirements and the overall design.
• Work closely with the core engineering team to provide site-specific requirements during the development of the Basis of Design (BOD) and coordinate system-level schematics with the EOR.
• Own and manage site-level power system issues during projects execution, collaborating with cross-functional teams to identify and resolve challenges effectively.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• 12 years of experience in design, construction and commissioning of HVAC and mechanical distribution systems, including air and water side systems.
• 12 years of experience in mission critical facility design and construction environments.
• Experience in mechanical infrastructure.
• Ability to travel domestically and internationally up to 50% of the time as required.

Preferred qualifications

• Master's degree in Engineering, Business, or other related field.
• Professional engineering license.
• Experience in design, construction, and commissioning of mechanical cooling plants, fire suppression systems, fuel oil systems, domestic water systems, and sanitary sewer systems in mission critical environment.
• Experience in designing complex modular building scale assemblies, with an understanding of mechanical tolerances and tolerance analysis.
• Experience in estimating, mechanical design, operation, and commissioning of mission critical data center mechanical equipment.
• Expertise in the areas of design for medium-scale production, structural beams/elements, and international building codes, with knowledge of mechanical engineering and design principles.
