About the jobOur 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).

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what's possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users worldwide.

We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.

Responsibilities

• Develop scope and technical requirements to drive the end-to-end design, drawing documentation, implementation, and lab/on-site testing of secure, resilient Operational Technology (OT) cybersecurity solutions.
• Perform technical reviews of new control system infrastructure initiatives, embedding robust cybersecurity requirements across every phase from initial architecture and testing to deployment.
• Serve as a key technical liaison across cross-functional teams to troubleshoot and resolve complex design, integration, and deployment challenges within mission-critical environments.
• Execute design sustaining and lifecycle management activities across pre-deployment, post-deployment, and ongoing operations for cybersecurity solutions and OT infrastructure components (including networking, SCADA/HMI servers, clients, and software).
• Identify strategic opportunities for continuous improvement and security maturation across the OT environment to systematically reduce operational risk.
