About This Role

Are you passionate about keeping critical infrastructure running at massive

scale? As a Data Center Controls Engineer on the global controls team, you will

troubleshoot complex issues, manage projects, and maintain the building

management system (BMS) and electrical power monitoring system (EPMS) that

govern the mechanical and electrical systems powering Amazon data centers. You

will develop new processes and standards while finding creative ways to improve

controls across a rich ecosystem of generators, uninterruptible power supplies,

switchgear, power distribution units, variable frequency drives, transfer

switches, chillers, pumps, cooling towers, heat exchangers, and air handling

units. These components interact through open and proprietary communications

protocols, and you will be at the center of ensuring they operate reliably and

efficiently.

Key job responsibilities

- Design, configure, validate, commission, and maintain BMS and EPMS systems

while training internal stakeholders on their operation and best practices.

- Plan and execute BMS and EPMS improvement projects end-to-end, defining scope,

schedule, budget, and coordinating with partner teams and vendors to deliver on

time.

- Troubleshoot high-complexity controls issues, review and iterate on sequences

of operation, and develop or modify controls logic programming and graphical

user interfaces.

- Serve as a technical escalation point for in-service data centers,

participating in the global on-call rotation and guiding less experienced

engineers through risk mitigation during emergent situations.

- Develop risk assessments and operational dashboards, review quarterly

maintenance results, and drive corrective actions to continuously improve

equipment reliability.

A day in the life

Your morning may start with a review of overnight BMS alerts and coordination

with the on-call team to prioritize open items. From there, you could be on-site

at a data center validating a controls sequence change alongside a vendor, then

shifting to a project planning session where you scope an EPMS upgrade with

partner engineering teams. You will regularly move between hands-on technical

work and collaborative discussions with operations, commissioning, and design

teams, balancing immediate troubleshooting needs with longer-term improvement

projects.
