> Lead commissioning of BMS, EPMS, and automation controls for first-of-kind data center units at Fluidstack. Verify sequences, execute and improve test scripts, analyze trends, and support factory FAT processes for AI compute infrastructure.

## Job Description

## Role Scope
- Commission the controls of first units: BMS, EPMS, and automation sequences verified against design intent.
- Execute and improve the scripts: point-to-point, functional, and integrated tests run and dispositioned.
- Analyze the trends: sequence behavior reconciled against the written narrative, deltas driven to closure.
- Support the factory: controls FAT processes for modules before they ship.

## Requirements
- Commissioned control systems on data centers or industrial plants.
- Verify point-to-point and functional performance without shortcuts.
- Program or read BMS and PLC logic well enough to find the bug yourself.
- Caught sequence errors that point checks missed.
- Document findings so engineering can fix the standard, not just the site.

## Nice-to-Haves
- Tridium, ALC, or PLC platforms.
- Analytics-driven commissioning.
- EPMS testing.
- Integrated systems tests.
