About the job

Power Modeling team’s mission is to build tools and services to gather and serve accurate power data about how our fleet of data centers are planned and built, from power grid to chips, enabling maximum utilization of infrastructure, software reliability (e.g., Borg and Colossus), and optimal cluster planning. To accomplish this mission, we create highly reliable services, software tools and UIs to model all power topologies of Google’s data centers from the power sub-station to the racks and in-rack devices, which is critical for optimal planning, safe and reliable operation, and optimal infrastructure utilization. Compute and serve the failure domain data needed to avoid correlated failures in Borg job scheduling and Colossus data placement, which is critical for Google’s reliability. Represent accurate hardware power and thermal models, critical for validating rack design, rack placements and maximizing data center power and cooling infrastructure utilization, while staying within deployment constraints.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $166,000-$244,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.
