Controls Engineer, Facilities Operations

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning,

delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other

words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all

AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking,

power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have

continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the

most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting

the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want

to help. You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and

network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts,

operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with

people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for

safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at

the lowest possible cost for our customers. As part of the global

controls team, you will work with highly motivated experts and

innovators in the data center industry. You will be responsible for

troubleshooting, project management, and maintaining the building

management system (BMS) and electrical power monitoring system

(EPMS). AWS Data centers have multiple components such as

generators, uninterruptible power sources, diesel generators,

electrical switchgear, power distribution units, variable frequency

drives, automatic / static transfer switches, chillers [air-cooled

and water-cooled], pumps, cooling towers, heat exchangers, CRAHs,

air economizers, etc. All these components have local control

systems that interact with each other via open and / or proprietary

communications protocols. The BMS is the primary method of control

of all mechanical systems within a data center. The EPMS is the

primary method of monitoring all electrical systems within a data

center. Train and assist internal customers and stakeholders with

the creation, design, configuration, validation, installation,

commissioning and operation of BMS and EPMS systems.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and

broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and

never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most

successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite

of products and services to power their businesses. When we feel

supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t

achieve in the cloud. Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and

be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of

inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing

events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on

Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (diversity) conferences,

inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness. We’re

continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become

Earth’s Best Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless

knowledge-sharing, mentorship and other career-advancing resources

here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.
