Commissioning Engineer, Data Center Engineering

Do you want to help build some of the largest and most consequential enterprise

and customer technology systems in the world? Join Apple’s Information Systems

and Technology (IS&T) organization. IS&T is the engine behind everything Apple

does for customers and for the people who build for them. It’s Apple’s central

nervous system. Supporting 2.5 billion active Apple devices, processing billions

of secure transactions, and keeping the technology that defines modern life

running flawlessly, IS&T makes the impossible feel effortless. Do you love

building solutions to handle global complexity and immense scale? Imagine what

you could do here. Infrastructure Services is part of IS&T and the foundation of

Apple's global network operations — managing data center equipment and systems

to deliver compute, storage, and networking services for teams across Apple,

including its internal developer community. From individual facilities to a

worldwide network, Infrastructure Services ensures the technology underneath

everything works without question. The Data Center Commissioning team is seeking

a dedicated Data Center Commissioning Engineer to anchor our field efforts at a

mission-critical campus. By maintaining day-to-day, firsthand oversight of the

job site, you will serve as the program’s direct connection to physical

execution. You will closely track daily construction and testing activities in

real-time, guaranteeing that all vendor performance strictly adheres to Apple’s

global commissioning guidelines.

DESCRIPTION

In this role, you will oversee the daily onsite activities of third-party

Commissioning Agents (CxA), general contractors, and equipment vendors. You will

bridge the gap between global commissioning standards and physical site

realities—driving field QA/QC, managing the local testing schedule, enforcing

strict safety protocols during live testing, and tracking issue resolution from

component startup through Integrated Systems Testing (IST).

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Architectural Engineering, Systems

Engineering, or a related discipline (or equivalent practical field/job-related

experience). 4+ years of direct field experience executing or managing

commissioning in a Hyperscale data center, mission-critical facility, heavy

industrial environment or similar. Working knowledge of large-scale electrical

delivery systems (e.g., UPS, switchgear, generation) and mechanical cooling

systems (e.g., chilled water plants, hydronics, CRAH/CRAC units). Experience

directing and or overseeing Level 3 (Pre-Functional), Level 4 (Functional

Performance Testing), and Level 5 (Integrated Systems Testing) activities

onsite. Strong ability to read, interpret, and field-verify MEP drawing

packages, Single-Line Diagrams, and Sequences of Operation (SOO). Experience

managing onsite vendors, contractors, or specialized testing firms. Ability to

work onsite daily at the assigned data center location.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Previous experience operating as a dedicated onsite Cx Engineer or Resident

Engineer for a major data center build or campus expansion. Industry-recognized

commissioning certifications such as Certified Commissioning Authority (CxA),

Certified Commissioning Professional (CCP), or Building Commissioning

Professional (BCxP). Hands-on experience with commissioning management software

platforms (such as CxAlloy, Facility Grid, or similar tools) for daily field

tracking and issue management. Practical field experience troubleshooting

Building Automation Systems (BAS), Direct Digital Control (DDC), and Electrical

Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS). Strong understanding of field safety standards

(OSHA/NFPA 70E), MOP execution, and hazardous energy control. Demonstrated track

record of identifying field coordination clashes, resolving complex physical

engineering challenges, and driving continuous improvement feedback to global

engineering teams. Proficiency with AI tools to enhance daily work — including

AI-assisted summarization of field reports, automated parsing of submittals, and

tracking punch-list data.
