AWS Infrastructure Services (AIS) owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. We support all AWS data centers and their servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on.
As a Controls Engineer within the Fleet Remediation Engineering (FRE) Team, you will lead the design, specification, and implementation of Building Management System (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring System (EPMS) controls solutions for data center retrofit projects. You will bridge the gap between mechanical/electrical retrofit design and controls integration, ensuring that upgraded systems are properly monitored, controlled, and optimised across our existing fleet.
You will use your controls expertise to:
- Own the design for existing data center upgrades and design-solutions which add data center infrastructure, capacity, improve availability, and/or increase sustainability.
- Develop and maintain deep expertise in building operations, mechanical plant strategies, BMS/EPMS programming concepts, control diagrams, industrial HVAC systems, electrical lineups, one-line diagrams, and complex environmental concepts.
- Perform design and equipment submittal review for Data Centers in your region.
- Interface with internal and external data center design engineering teams, server hardware teams, environmental health and safety teams, field engineering, and controls engineering to promote standards that maintain consistency and reliability in services delivered.
- Work on concurrent projects, sometimes in multiple geographical regions.
- Act as a technical subject matter expert for your given discipline during new remediation projects.
- Support construction, commissioning, operations, and turnover.
As an ideal candidate you:
- Lead controls design and integration for mechanical and electrical retrofit projects across the existing data center fleet, ensuring BMS and EPMS systems are properly specified, programmed, and commissioned.
- Develop and maintain controls design standards, specifications, and scope of work (SOW) documents specific to fleet remediation retrofit projects, aligning with global design standards.
- Collaborate with FRE mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, construction teams, commissioning, and operations stakeholders to deliver integrated controls solutions that support retrofit objectives.
- Serve as the central technical authority for BMS/EPMS controls within FRE, managing and prioritising controls scope across retrofit projects, legacy site enhancements, and capacity recovery initiatives.
- Perform controls design reviews on retrofit packages, identifying risks, gaps, and opportunities for optimisation in monitoring and automation strategies.
- Coordinate with controls vendors and programmers on bid reviews, RFI support, controller drawings, MOPs, and code reviews, ensuring deliverables meet FRE standards.
- Develop and review control sequences of operation, control diagrams, point lists, and network architecture for retrofit applications including HVAC upgrades, power distribution modifications, and liquid cooling integrations.
- Interact with AWS cloud services and data analytics platforms to support data reporting, energy optimisation, and operational intelligence initiatives.
- Anticipate roadblocks and risks in controls integration, providing escalation management and proactive solutions to maintain project timelines.
- Travel domestically and internationally as needed to support retrofit project initiatives, site surveys, and commissioning activities.
- Provide engineering judgement and design recommendations for controls scope despite uncertainty, particularly on legacy systems with limited documentation.
Basic Qualifications:
- 6+ years of industrial or commercial engineering in mission critical facilities including but not limited to: data centers, power generation or oil and gas facilities experience.
- 2+ years of relevant discipline work, or 2+ years of data center or mission critical facilities experience.
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related fields.
- Ability to travel domestically and internationally up to 25% of the role.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Professional Engineer License.
- Experience with EPMS/SCADA/BMS Controls system software or hardware.
- 7+ years of industrial controls and automation experience.
- Knowledge of Modbus, BACnet, and other industrial communication protocols.
- Experience with data center redundancy concepts, mechanical failure strategies, and failure mode analysis.
