Controls Design Engineer (EPMS), CDE
Amazon Web Services (AWS), Columbus, OH, United States
Description
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. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
Controls Design Engineering (CDE)
The CDE team provides Building Management System (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring System (EPMS) design coordination globally. The team’s goal is to deliver consistent standards for data center controls systems, as well as overall mechanical and electrical design practices. Due to the critical nature and complexity of designing, installing, and maintaining a BMS/EPMS, the CDE team is the primary owner of the associated specification, points list, Basis of Design, and scope documents within a large infrastructure engineering team.
The CDE team is a single point of contact for multiple internal and external customers, uniting the efforts associated with:
New construction builds
Legacy site enhancement projects
Data center service projects
In a continual effort to enhance the controls systems, the CDE team collaborates through design review, drives consistent standards, and collects feedback data to arrive at unified documented solutions. Because of these efforts, the CDE engineer will drive significant reductions in change‑order expense, scope gaps between contractors, construction schedule delays, single‑sourced vendor pricing, and reduced vendor project management and engineering labor costs.
This position is for an EPMS Controls Design Engineer. Key responsibilities and requirements for this role include:
Knowledge of EPMS programming and design, Modbus communication protocol, electrical distribution systems, single‑line diagrams, complex electrical concepts, and data center redundancy
Review MEP drawings with a focus on electrical drawing sets for EPMS design content
Create EPMS scopes of work (SOW), provide RFI support, and review technical vendor proposals during the bid review process
Coordinate with each regional project manager to review and finalize project SOWs
Review electrical Long Lead Equipment (LLE) submittals to ensure EPMS scope is captured
Attend Factory Witness Tests (FWTs) and Equipment Qualification Tests (EQTs) to perform EPMS point validation and test EPMS device functionality on first‑of‑kinds electrical equipment
Create, update, and maintain controls points list and specifications, EPMS drawing templates, Basis of Design (BOD) documentation, and project‑specific SOW documents
Develop and disseminate specification documents for global projects
Lead and facilitate collaboration with multiple teams including construction, programmers, MEP/ACS engineers, and team managers as necessary to accomplish initiative goals
Manage and prioritize requests for information on new construction builds, existing site facility support, and legacy site enhancement projects
Serve as a central point of contact for multiple internal and external groups regarding EPMS design standards
Operate successfully in high‑security critical environments while maximizing productivity
Drive innovation of new solutions to support initiatives, the team, and company goals
Interact with AWS cloud services and other applications to present, archive, and analyze accumulated data
Anticipate roadblocks and risks while providing escalation management
Travel globally as needed to manage and support project initiatives
Basic Qualifications
5+ years of relevant work in a data center or other critical environment experience
3+ years utilizing or generating electrical drawings and design engineering documents focused on data center or critical environment projects
3+ years designing or contributing to the design of controls and monitoring solution projects
1+ year of project‑management experience focused on data center or critical environment projects, demonstrating large‑scale coordinated efforts with multiple stakeholders
Preferred Qualifications
B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Technology, or related engineering degrees with 5+ years of related experience
Experience with the use and programming of electrical power monitoring systems (EPMS)
Experience working with Modbus communication protocol
Knowledge of electrical single‑line diagrams, electrical distribution systems, complex electrical concepts, and data center redundancy
Knowledge of data center facilities infrastructure and operation (PDU, UPS, generators, etc.)
