As a Safety Engineer in Platforms Engineering, you will play a key role in the development of one of the world's most impressive computing infrastructures. Your objective will be to collaborate closely with our Product Development Teams to propose, evaluate and qualify design features which enhance the level of product safety as well as to ensure compliance to relevant worldwide safety standards. This will involve engaging with various disciplines (Electrical, Mechanical, Thermal, Power, etc.) as early as possible in the Research and Development (R&D) cycle to ensure compliance by design rather than retrofit at a later time.

In addition you will be required to proactively interface with the compliance team to ensure all requirements have been implemented from a practical perspective.

Our Platforms Infrastructure Engineering team designs and builds the hardware and software technologies that power all of Google's services. Our computational challenges are complex and unique, enabled by cutting-edge custom hardware designed and made in-house. Our Mechanical Product Design Engineering Team members work cross-functionally to design, build, and deploy the latest technology to support the needs of compute, storage, networking, and machine learning hardware.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

Runs Search and YouTube and builds Gemini AI

Google runs the world's most used search engine and free services such as YouTube, Android, and Gmail, and it builds the Gemini AI models that work inside them. In 2017, its researchers invented the transformer, the neural network design behind ChatGPT and most other AI chatbots. People use these services without paying, and Google earns most of its money from ads placed beside search results and YouTube videos. Businesses rent computing power and Gemini models through Google Cloud, and Google also sells subscriptions and Pixel phones. Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google in 1998 as Stanford PhD students; it is based in Mountain View, California, United States, and is the main business of parent company Alphabet.
