Position Overview

The AI Factory Controls & Automation Architect serves as the global technical authority for controls, automation, and operational technology (OT) within Siemens' AI Factory Architecture organization. This highly visible role will define and drive globally scalable reference architectures spanning Building Management Systems (BMS), Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS), SCADA, PLC-based automation, OT networks, telemetry, and digital platforms that support the next generation of AI and mission‑critical infrastructure.

With a global mandate across North America, EMEA, and Asia‑Pacific, this role will partner with engineering, digitalization, sales, and customer teams to create repeatable frameworks that connect power, cooling, automation, digital twins, and AI‑enabled operations. The successful candidate will help shape how hyperscale, colocation, enterprise, sovereign AI, and high‑density GPU environments are designed, integrated, monitored, and operated worldwide.

This is not a traditional controls engineering or controls programming role.

• Partner with electrical, cooling, and digital architecture leaders to integrate power, thermal, controls, and operational technologies.
• Define standards for telemetry, metadata, equipment tagging, and operational data supporting digital twins, analytics, and AI‑enabled operations.
• Ensure reference architectures balance global standardization with regional requirements across North America, EMEA, and APAC.
• Support strategic customer engagements, architecture workshops, RFIs/RFPs, and complex pursuits involving hyperscalers and major data center customers.
• Develop…
