Google is proud to boast a network that provides service to millions of Internet users around the world. The Network Engineering team is responsible for operating that network reliably and at scale. As a member of the team, you have a direct impact on design and feature enhancements to keep our systems running smoothly. You also ensure that network operations are safe and efficient by monitoring network performance, coordinating planned maintenance, adjusting hardware components and responding to network connectivity issues. Google's complex network generates a constant stream of challenges which require you to continually be innovative with an evolving set of technologies. Keeping the network reliable ensures that our users stay connected with our suite of applications, products and services.

As a Network Implementation Engineer, you will support our efforts to execute deployment, maintenance, and operations of private data networks worldwide.

In this role, you will build a reliable, cost-effective, and scalable network to support all of our current and future customers and users globally. You will work with technical program managers, network engineers, design and infrastructure engineers, field engineers within Google, as well as construction and telecommunications vendors and contractors, all to position the team and organization for success.

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.

• Inspect Quality Assurance (QA) of rack, stack, and networking equipment installation.

• Commission and test routers, optical transport equipment, and other network devices in new and existing network nodes across Google's global network.

• Generate implementation plans and provide technical leadership and guidance during deployment activities.

• Work closely with project management, network engineering and rest of the engineering team to identify in advance potential problems in network installations, including in the areas of facility power (AC/DC), cooling, security/access, rack layout and cable management.

• Identify new initiatives, programs, processes to create efficiency and process improvements, optimize resources, and address gaps, risk cross-functionally.
