There are a few thousand people who will shape the trajectory of superintelligence. Come and be one of them.
We are seeking a skilled and motivated Controls Technician to support the installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and operation of building automation and control systems across our critical facility infrastructure. Working closely with the Controls Engineer and Operations team, this role is the hands-on backbone of our controls program — responsible for keeping BMS, EPMS, PLC, and equipment-level control systems running at peak performance in a 24/7 mission-critical data center environment.
The ideal candidate is a technically strong field technician who is equally comfortable pulling wire in a control panel, navigating a BMS front-end to chase an alarm, or calibrating a sensor on a chiller — and who takes pride in doing the job right the first time.
Install, terminate, and maintain BMS/BAS controllers, field devices, sensors, actuators, and control panels while keeping as-built documentation current.
Diagnose and resolve BMS, EPMS, and equipment-level control faults using front-end software and field test tools including multimeters, loop calibrators, and clamp meters.
Navigate and configure BMS platforms (Ignition, Metasys, Niagara, EcoStruxure) for point mapping, alarm configuration, setpoint adjustments, and basic graphics updates.
Troubleshoot communication protocols (BACnet, Modbus, SNMP), support PID loop tuning and trend analysis, and assist with integration across BMS, EPMS, DCIM, and equipment control systems.
Execute commissioning activities including point-to-point verification, loop calibration, and functional performance testing for new construction and retrofit projects.
Comply with NFPA 70E electrical safety standards, site LOTO procedures, and change management processes including MOPs and CMMS documentation.
Associate's degree or technical diploma in Electrical Technology, Building Automation, Electronics, Instrumentation & Controls, or related field — OR equivalent vocational training and directly relevant field experience.
Minimum 2–4 years of hands-on experience as a controls or building automation technician in a commercial, industrial, or mission-critical facility environment.
Working knowledge of at least one major BMS/BAS platform (Ignition, Schneider EcoStruxure, Metasys, Niagara, or equivalent) and control system communication protocols including BACnet IP/MSTP and Modbus TCP/RTU.
Ability to read and interpret control drawings, wiring schematics, P&IDs, one-line diagrams, and equipment data sheets; proficiency with standard field test and calibration tools including multimeters, clamp meters, and loop calibrators.
Working knowledge of NEC wiring requirements for control and instrumentation systems and familiarity with NFPA 70E electrical safety and LOTO/LOTOTO procedures.
Strong attention to detail, organized documentation habits, and ability to work independently and prioritize effectively in a fast-paced, 24/7 critical environment.
Experience working in a data center, colocation facility, hospital, or other Tier III/IV mission-critical environment.
Ignition certification or equivalent BMS platform certification (Siemens, Schneider, JCI).
OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 General Industry certification.
EPA 608 Universal refrigerant handling certification.
Experience with EPMS platforms (Power Monitoring Expert, ION, or equivalent) and DCIM tools.
Familiarity with PLC-based control systems (Allen-Bradley, Siemens S7, or equivalent) at the maintenance and basic configuration level.
Experience with data historian platforms (OSIsoft PI, Ignition, or equivalent) for trend retrieval and analysis.
CMMS experience (Maximo, SAP PM, ServiceNow, or equivalent) for work order management and documentation.
Competitive total compensation package (cash + equity).
Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
Health, dental, and vision insurance.
Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.
The base salary range for this position is $100,000 - $150,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. This range represents our good faith estimate of the compensation for this role at the time of posting. Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
