Additional Skills & Qualifications * Experience with Schneider PME or similar electrical power monitoring platforms. * Data center or mission-critical facility experience strongly preferred. * Familiarity with Google-specific controls and EPMS documentation and standards. * Ability to write advanced sequences of operation (SOOs) for airflow and thermal optimization. * Experience interpreting Google EPMS standards when provided. * Coming from electrical power engineering or controls engineering. * Comfort working in a remote environment while collaborating with distributed project teams. ## Description The BMS & EPMS Systems Engineer designs, programs, documents, integrates, and supports commissioning of Building Management Systems (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS) for hyperscale data centers. This role focuses on mission-critical mechanical and electrical infrastructure, including HVAC controls, chilled water systems, power quality analysis, metering integration, and telemetry mapping, while helping to build out a specialized department in this space., * Design, program, and implement BAS/BMS controls and EPMS solutions for hyperscale data centers, covering both mechanical and electrical infrastructure. * Develop complete lifecycle documentation for BMS and EPMS, including control drawings, sequences of operation, and integration specifications. * Perform integration and commissioning support for BMS and EPMS, including functional testing, troubleshooting, and validation of system performance. * Configure and integrate power monitoring equipment such as switchgear, circuit monitors, RPPs, transformers, and metering devices into EPMS platforms. * Map telemetry points and ensure accurate data acquisition, trending, and alarming across BMS and EPMS systems. * Conduct power quality analysis, including THD, harmonics, and waveform distortion, and interpret results to support reliability and performance improvements. * Apply a strong understanding of chilled water systems and white space cooling strategies to optimize HVAC controls and thermal performance. * Use AutoCAD or Bluebeam to create and maintain detailed controls documentation, drawings, and schematics. * Write advanced sequences of operation (SOOs) for airflow and thermal optimization in mission-critical environments. * Interpret and apply data center electrical distribution designs and standards within BMS and EPMS implementations. * Integrate and test systems using BACnet/IP, Modbus/TCP, and TCP/IP networking protocols to ensure reliable communication between devices and platforms. * Interpret and implement Google-specific controls and EPMS documentation and standards when provided. * Support integration testing and commissioning activities on site, coordinating with project teams and resolving technical issues. * Work independently in a largely remote capacity while contributing to the build-out and maturation of the BMS/EPMS engineering department. * Travel to project sites as needed, primarily to Michigan City, Indiana, for initial project phases and key commissioning milestones., This role operates primarily in a remote work environment, with most day-to-day responsibilities performed offsite. The engineer will travel to project locations as needed, with a key project based in Michigan City, Indiana. Travel and lodging costs are fully covered. Onsite presence is expected primarily during the early phases of a project and major commissioning milestones, with onsite requirements typically decreasing as the project progresses. Work focuses on hyperscale data center environments and mission-critical facilities, using tools such as AutoCAD or Bluebeam and protocols including BACnet/IP, Modbus/TCP, and TCP/IP. The position offers the flexibility to return home on weekends during multi-week onsite engagements when project schedules permit, and supports independent work while contributing to the growth of a specialized BMS and EPMS engineering department. ## Related Videos - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [An Applied Introduction to eBPF with Go](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1075-an-applied-introduction-to-ebpf-with-go) - [Optimizing Land-Based Fish Feeding with Node-RED](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2032-optimizing-land-based-fish-feeding-with-node-red) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Turning Container security up to 11 with Capabilities](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/718-turning-container-security-up-to-11-with-capabilities) - [Enabling intelligent logistics automation: home-grown Industrial IoT platform at Austrian Post](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2018-enabling-intelligent-logistics-automation-home-grown-industrial-iot-platform-at-austrian-post) ## Related Articles - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries) - [Mastering Remote Work: Tips for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/558-mastering-remote-work-tips-for-developers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
