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 an Electrical Engineer leading the development and implementation of new electrical products, you will manage multiple projects. You will collaborate with teams and deliver complex substation product solutions. 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.

Responsibilities:

• Develop site electrical power systems for new product deployment and validation.
• Develop and implement safety procedures related to electrical switching, energization plans, lockout‑tagout (LOTO), methods of procedure (MOPs), sequences of operation (SOO), etc.
• Develop and review power system studies, grounding calculations, current transformer (CT) sizing, voltage drop, etc.
• Maintain familiarity with International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and American National Standards Institute/National Electrical Manufacturers Association (ANSI/NEMA) standards.
• Develop new electrical product solutions for switchgear, transformers, energy storage, and microgrids for electrical large‑scale alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) electrical infrastructure for mission‑critical facilities.
