You will be responsible for troubleshooting, project management, and maintaining the building management system (BMS) and electrical power monitoring system (EPMS). Using Amazon leadership principles, you will develop new processes and standards while innovating in the controls space. AWS data centers include components such as generators, UPS, diesel generators, electrical switch gear, power distribution units, variable frequency drives, automatic/static transfer switches, chillers (air-cooled and water-cooled), pumps, cooling towers, heat exchangers, CRAHs, air economizers, and related systems.

The BMS is the primary method of control for mechanical systems within a data center, and the EPMS is the primary method for monitoring electrical systems.
