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. We are seeking a systems thinking architect who can translate complex engineering requirements into scalable global standards, support strategic customer engagements, and drive the integration of power, cooling, automation, and digital systems into a unified architecture that accelerates the deployment of next-generation AI infrastructure.
