Controls Subject Matter Expert
Description
Meta is seeking a Controls Subject Matter Expert to support the design, deployment, and optimization of building automation and control systems across its global data center infrastructure. In this role, you will serve as a technical authority on industrial control systems, including building management systems (BMS), electrical power monitoring systems (EPMS), and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) platforms that govern critical facility operations. You will partner with engineering, construction, and operations teams to ensure control system architectures meet reliability, safety, and efficiency standards at hyperscale.
Responsibilities
Define and maintain technical standards, specifications, and best practices for building automation and control systems deployed across data center facilities Evaluate and validate BMS, EPMS, and SCADA system designs, sequences of operation, and control logic for new construction and retrofit projects Conduct factory acceptance testing (FAT) and site acceptance testing (SAT) for control systems on mechanical, electrical, and cooling infrastructure Collaborate with mechanical and electrical engineering teams to develop control sequences that optimize power usage effectiveness (PUE) and cooling efficiency Identify control system vulnerabilities, failure modes, and single points of failure, and drive remediation efforts to improve facility resilience Provide technical guidance to operations and commissioning teams on control system troubleshooting, tuning, and performance optimization Partner with vendors and system integrators to review submittals, resolve technical issues, and ensure deliverables meet Meta's control system requirements Develop and maintain documentation including control system architecture diagrams, points lists, and sequences of operation for critical infrastructure Lead root cause analysis for control system incidents and drive implementation of corrective and preventive actions across the data center portfolio Contribute to the long-term roadmap for control system modernization, automation, and integration with data center infrastructure management (DCIM) platforms
Qualifications
6+ years of experience designing, commissioning, or operating building automation or industrial control systems in mission-critical or data center environments Experience with BMS, EPMS, or SCADA platforms applied to mechanical and electrical systems such as chillers, cooling towers, UPS, generators, and switchgear Experience developing or reviewing control sequences of operation, control logic, and points lists for critical facility infrastructure Experience conducting factory acceptance testing or site acceptance testing for control systems in data center or large-scale commercial facility environments Experience collaborating with mechanical, electrical, and commissioning teams on control system integration and performance validation Experience with energy optimization strategies and control logic tuning to improve PUE in hyperscale data center environments Exposure to control system modernization programs, including migration from legacy platforms to IP-based or open-protocol architectures Familiarity with data center infrastructure management platforms and integration of BMS or EPMS data into centralized monitoring and analytics tools Experience with control system cybersecurity frameworks and network segmentation practices for operational technology environments
