Power Systems Engineer, Google Data Centers

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  
• 5 years of experience with power system modeling, design, development and testing.
• 5 years of electrical distribution, energy storage, or electrical generation technologies.

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's degree in Engineering, Business or other relevant field or a professional engineering license or a Professional Engineering (PE) license.
  
• Experience with power system modeling, design, development and testing.
• Familiarity with High Voltage (HV), Medium Voltage (MV), and Low Voltage (LV) systems.
• Familiarity with electrical distribution, energy storage, and electrical generation technologies, including BESS, generators, fuel cells and other microgrid resources.

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).

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're always on call to keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Our Platforms Infrastructure Engineering team designs and builds the
hardware and software technologies that power all of Google's services. Our computational challenges are complex and unique, enabled by cutting-edge custom hardware designed and made in-house. As a hardware engineer, you will design and build the systems that are the heart of the world's largest and most powerful computing infrastructure. You will see those systems from concept all the way through to high-volume manufacturing. Your work has the potential to shape the machinery that goes into our cutting-edge data centers, affecting millions of Google users.

• Create and maintain detailed models of electrical single lines and layouts that will help analyze things like AI/ML fluctuations.
• Help implement solutions that lead to fast, cost effective construction and data center delivery.
• Develop power system dynamic and transient models working alongside executive data center engineers.
• Investigate renewable power generation, storage technologies and find best ways to implement them in models and reality.
