Typical Day in the Role

The engineer's initial focus is reviewing BAS submittals, engineering deliverables, checking sequences of operations, points lists, controls schematics, riser and network architecture diagrams, panel and device schedules, then issuing comments and tracking them to closure through package revisions.

Daily coordination with mechanical, electrical, and facility engineering counterparts covers design reviews, RFIs, and field issues.

Purpose of the Team:

The Building Automation Engineering team supports our global data center infrastructure by designing, reviewing, and maintaining building automation and control systems that manage cooling, airflow, humidity, and other critical environmental functions.

The team partners with vendors and engineering stakeholders to ensure consistent controls standards are implemented across data center projects worldwide, supports construction and commissioning activities, reviews technical deliverables, and resolves issues in mission-critical environments to maintain reliable Azure data center operations.

Key projects:

Support global our data center projects by reviewing Building Automation System (BAS) designs, engineering deliverables, controls schematics, sequences of operations, points lists, and network architecture documentation.

Drive standardization of building automation and controls designs across our worldwide data center portfolio, ensuring consistency and alignment with established engineering standards.

Partner with vendors, integrators, and cross-functional engineering teams to review deliverables, identify risks, and ensure successful implementation of mission-critical facility controls systems.

Support hyperscale data center build-outs by providing technical oversight, reviewing BAS submittals, tracking design comments through closure, and helping resolve field and commissioning issues.

Maintain visibility and documentation for design changes, lessons learned, and engineering standards to improve future data center deployments globally.

Candidate Requirements

No Building Automation Systems (BAS) engineering experience. Candidates must have hands-on experience supporting, designing, programming, or commissioning BAS environments.

No mission-critical or data center experience. Candidates lacking experience in data centers, critical facilities, or other mission-critical environments will not be competitive for the role.

Insufficient industry experience. Candidates should possess substantial BAS engineering experience, with the intake discussion referencing approximately 8+ years of relevant experience.

No experience reviewing controls engineering deliverables. Candidates should be familiar with controls design documents, sequences of operations, controls schematics, points lists, and related technical documentation.

No commissioning or field implementation experience. Candidates should have experience supporting commissioning activities, testing, issue resolution, and validation of building automation systems.

Limited knowledge of major DDC platforms and building automation protocols. Candidates should demonstrate experience with common BAS/DDC vendors and controls technologies used in mission-critical environments.
