About the job
The Hardware Operations team is responsible for monitoring, maintaining and deploying the state-of-the-art physical infrastructure behind Google's powerful search technology. As a Data Center Technician, you'll deploy and maintain Google's advanced Data Center Server and Network Infrastructure. You'll also participate in or lead local project teams on larger installations and develop project contingency plans.
In this role, duties range from the physical deployment of data center-related technology to working closely with the various stakeholders. It will fall to you to ensure that our goals, missions and projects are successfully delivered, and, more importantly, that they are repeatable across our global array of data centers. This position offers a great introduction to the wider engineering world at Google. Depending of your area of interest, capabilities, and geographical mobility, you will have the opportunity to develop either within Hardware Operations or move towards software development, engineering, networking operations or our project management groups.
Responsibilities
- Coordinate across teams involving moderate to high complexity to manage construction activities at facilities to support service vendors, and ensure safety, security, and compliance. Help identify needs and coordinate the allocation of resources for space expansion and modification design.
- Analyze and compile data to create and configure scripts and tools for data center-related tracking and reporting, in line with project objectives, with some guidance. Provide mentorship to deploy and operate new data center infrastructure across teams.
- Report issues and follow data center procedures to troubleshoot and diagnose moderately complex issues with equipment or infrastructure, and identify the resources needed to resolve identified issues.
- Own the repair, fix, and performance of preventative maintenance on equipment, servers, machines, or infrastructure based on identified issues with limited precedent.
- Travel up to 70% of the time as needed.
