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, you will provide field electrical engineering support and issue resolution for the Frankfurt Metro, supporting the DCS Technical Project Manager (TPM) in the localized design and delivery of the projects in-line with the schedule, cost, quality, technical compliance, and safety requirements. You will serve as the primary contact between Google and the Project Management Team, and coordinate with the ORs and the Contractor engineers for all electrical field engineer efforts. You'll oversee the appointed electrical installation activities and ensure that the construction operations and performance are in compliance with projects, quality, and schedule requirements, while maintaining effective relationships when interfacing with project stakeholders.

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.
