2. Experience with industrial controls in critical environment (data center, pharmaceutical,
manufacturing, oil & gas, petrochemical, laboratory, power, water etc.).
3. A minimum of two (2) years of experience in Controls or Electrical construction project
coordination with multiple teams or vendors to meet project requirements
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 building management system (BMS) is the primary method of control of all mechanical systems within a data center. The electrical power monitoring system (EPMS) is the primary method of monitoring all electrical systems within a data center.
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 innovating, deploying, optimizing, and maintaining the BMS and EPMS. Using Amazon leadership principles, you will develop new processes and standards while innovating in the controls space.
