About The Job Our Data Center Engineering team drives the physical design of Google’s next‑generation data centers. In this role you will develop liquid cooling solutions for our advanced accelerator roadmap, optimizing the thermal performance and efficiency of high‑power computing systems. You’ll collaborate with cross‑functional teams to design, analyze, and optimize chip‑to‑chiller cooling systems, while ensuring compliance with codes and standards and serving as an expert in your specialty.

Responsibilities

Evaluate, design, and optimize liquid cooling components (e.g., cold plates, manifolds, heat exchangers, fancoils) and integrate them into accelerator designs.

Conduct detailed CFD and pipe flow analysis (e.g., AFT Fathom) for fluid flow, heat transfer, and pressure drop, optimizing designs for maximum thermal efficiency and reliability.

Apply knowledge of data center cooling, Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs), and chip‑to‑chiller architectures to ensure system‑level cooling design and hydronic optimization within the data center environment.

Use product design principles for high‑performance systems, focusing on DFMEA and DFM, and design experiments to validate thermal models and system performance.
