Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Google is a technology company whose Data Center Engineering team designs and advances the physical infrastructure supporting its data centers. The Data Center Services Mechanical Engineer Metro Lead serves as the primary on-site mechanical authority, leading HVAC and cooling-system integration during construction and ensuring reliable, efficient execution of thermal designs.
Responsibilities
- Act as the definitive technical resource for mechanical contractors and Engineers of Record (EORs), supporting mechanical system design and resolving ambiguities to maintain construction momentum
- Perform periodic, rigorous site walk-throughs to verify that mechanical installations align with engineered specifications, focusing on pressure testing, weld inspection requirements, insulation integrity, and equipment placement
- Ensure that both evaporative and non-evaporative cooling systems are installed to meet Google and project-specific standards while managing overall site thermal performance
- Lead the field-side RFI process to resolve spatial or mechanical conflicts, providing immediate engineering solutions to avoid rework, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve complex design changes during construction
Skills
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
- 10 years of experience with thermal topology, including both evaporative cooling (e.g., cooling towers, adiabatic systems) and non-evaporative cooling (e.g., air-cooled chillers, CRAHs, dry coolers, closed-loop liquid cooling) topologies
- 10 years of experience with piping and fluid dynamics, including chilled water plant overviews, pumping systems, and hydronic balancing
- 10 years of experience in mechanical engineering
- General understanding of electrical systems to facilitate effective cross-discipline collaboration
- Deep understanding of pressurized systems and heavy equipment rigging safety
- Ability to work closely with mechanical contractors to ensure high-quality delivery while maintaining strict adherence to the project schedule
- Ability to diagnose mechanical integration issues in real-time
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to navigate a complex matrix organization
