  • Interfaces with security and life-safety systems (as applicable)
• Demonstrate a solid working understanding of mechanical and/or electrical equipment and design concepts used in data centers and semiconductor facilities.

Controls & Monitoring

• Utilize EPMS, SCADA, and/or BMS systems to support testing, verification, alarm validation, and system performance monitoring.
• Coordinate with controls and instrumentation teams to verify proper sensor installation, control logic, alarms, and trending during commissioning.

Documentation & Communication

• Document test results, deficiencies, observations, and resolutions in a clear, accurate, and professional manner.
• Support preparation and maintenance of commissioning documentation, including test scripts, reports, redlines, and turnover packages.
• Provide clear status updates and technical input to project stakeholders as required.
• Any other duties or responsibilities that may be assigned to you in your role. 

Skills Required:

• Minimum 5 years of experience in facilities engineering or maintenance within the semiconductor industry.
• Minimum 2 years of hands-on commissioning experience in mission-critical or high-technology facilities.
• Strong understanding of mechanical systems used in semiconductor fabs and/or data centers.
• Experience supporting functional performance testing and system verification activities.
• Demonstrated safety awareness and experience working under strict EHS requirements.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• High attention to detail with a commitment to quality and documentation standards.
• Experience with EPMS, SCADA, and/or BMS platforms (software and/or hardware).
• Familiarity with both mechanical and electrical systems integration in mission-critical facilities.
• Experience with HVAC, fire protection, security systems, and life-safety interfaces in data center or fab environments.
• Prior experience working in cleanroom or high-purity environments.
