Data Center Mechanical Design Engineer

About This Role

This role involves leading the full product design lifecycle for hyperscale data centers, focusing on mechanical designs, engineering analysis, and verification. You will drive technological advancements and provide mentorship, contributing to Google Cloud's enterprise-grade infrastructure.

Responsibilities

• Manage the full product design life cycle for hyperscale data centers, from initial requirements gathering and concept generation to detailed analysis, cross-functional reviews, and manufacturing release.
• Develop and execute mechanical designs backed by engineering analysis and data-driven decision-making to optimize infrastructure efficiency.
• Lead verification and validation efforts by creating comprehensive test plans and performing root-cause analysis to troubleshoot and resolve technical issues.
• Drive the technology roadmap by providing structural engineering expertise and identifying innovation opportunities while proactively mitigating technical risks.
• Foster a culture of professional growth by providing technical mentorship and coaching to team members to ensure collective success.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience specializing in the design and construction of mission-critical environments (e.g., data centers).
• 5+ years of experience in 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) modeling and documentation (e.g., SolidWorks, Catia or Inventor).
• Experience in structural and thermal Finite Element Analysis (FEA) (e.g., ANSYS/FloTHERM/Nastran) alongside advanced tolerance analysis and loop methodologies.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering, a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of experience specializing in the design and construction of mission-critical environments (e.g., data centers) and 5+ years in 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) modeling and documentation.

Nice to Have

• Master's degree in Mechanical, Industrial, or Electrical Engineering, or related discipline.
• Professional Engineering (PE) license.
• 6+ years of experience in mechanical design.
• Experience in the full life-cycle design, estimation, and commissioning of data center mechanical and modular systems, utilizing advanced tolerance analysis and loop methodologies for building-scale assemblies.
• Understanding of international building codes, structural elements, and design principles for medium-scale production.
• Ability to architect technical solutions through business case analysis and construction safety expertise, utilizing 3D CAD and structural/thermal analysis tools for system design.
