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).

Google is revolutionizing hyper-scale data center design and deployment, moving towards modular, manufactured, and just-in-time capacity.

In this role, you will develop advanced liquid cooling solutions for the next-generation accelerator roadmap. This role is pivotal in optimizing the thermal performance and efficiency of high-power computing systems. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, analyze, and optimize chip-to-chiller cooling systems in a fluid, and innovative environment.

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.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $144,000-$211,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.

Responsibilities

  • Evaluate, design, and optimize liquid cooling components (cold plates, manifolds, heat exchangers, fan coils) for seamless integration with accelerator designs.
  • Conduct detailed thermal and hydraulic simulations using CFD and pipe flow analysis (AFT Fathom) to model fluid flow, heat transfer, and pressure drop, optimizing designs for efficiency and reliability.
  • Apply expertise in data center cooling systems, hydronic analysis, CDUs, and chip-to-chiller architectures to optimize cooling designs for data center environments.
  • Apply product design principles (DFMEA, DFM) and conduct experimental validation to ensure thermal model accuracy and cooling system performance.
