- 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.
