About the job

Google's custom-designed equipment makes up one of the largest and most powerful computing infrastructures in the world. The Advanced Operation Engineering team is responsible for providing the manufacturing capability to deliver this infrastructure.

In this role, you evaluate the product designs, create the processes, tools, and procedures powering Google’s technical infrastructure. When manufacturing partners manufacture our infrastructure components, you are onsite ensuring manufacturing processes are repeatable and controlled. You collaborate with cross-functional engineers to determine Google’s infrastructure needs and product specifications. Your work ensures the pieces of Google’s infrastructure fit together and keep our systems running smoothly for a seamless user experience.

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.
