This is a specialized role which requires physical interaction with hardware equipment in a simulated data center environment, utilizing Google labs, power, and safety equipment. Regular development and processing of engineering hardware must be performed on site.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
• 3 years of experience in designing and testing multiple subsystems and systems (e.g., software, robotics algorithms, electrical systems, mechanical systems, control systems).
• 3 years of experience in authoring control code for Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), 6 axis robots, conveyor systems, servo drives, pneumatics, safety devices, vision systems, and sensors.
• 3 years of experience with industrial electrical control system components and system design, and regional industrial and safety standards (e.g., ISO, NFPA, RIA, ANSI, ETC).
• 3 years of experience with project leadership, partnering requirements with stakeholders, and documenting consensus in detailed system specifications.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Experience in working with PLCs, Servo Drives, Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and other industrial components.
• Experience with Machine vision ( e.g., traditional Computer Vision (CV), fiducial detection, object detection, pattern extraction, barcode reading, Machine Learning (ML) model development and deployment).
• Experience with programming industrial automation and robotics (e.g., Allen Bradley, Codesys, Cognex, Keyence, Fanuc, ABB, Kuka, OpenCV).
• Experience in using electronic and mechanical fabrication and test equipment with standards-based practices in safety and electrical.
• Experience with industrial networking protocols (e.g., EthernetIP, CAN, Profibus, EtherCAT, IO link).
• Experience in software development (e.g., C++, C#, or Python).

• Design industrial automation and robotics equipment for Google data centers.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, control systems, and software engineers to define technical requirements and influence project direction.
• Set technical direction, lead projects, and plan work for the team, engineers, and vendors owning implementation and maintenance of solutions.
• Define architecture and author control code for automation equipment in the sensor, actuator, and local orchestrator domain.
• Build and maintain systems to broadcast telemetry to and receive direction from Google production back-end and other Web Map Service (WMS).
