As a member of the Global Controls Team, you will collaborate with highly motivated operators, engineers and technicians in the data center industry to maintain and optimize critical infrastructure systems. You will be responsible for troubleshooting and maintaining the Building Management System (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring System (EPMS) while developing new processes and standards that drive innovation in the controls space.
AWS data centers utilize sophisticated industrial control systems to automatically operate mechanical equipment, maintaining optimal temperature and pressure conditions throughout the facilities. These systems integrate and monitor multiple critical components, including generators, uninterruptible power sources, diesel generators, electrical switchgear, power distribution units, variable frequency drives, automatic and static transfer switches, air-cooled and water-cooled chillers, pumps, cooling towers, heat exchangers, Computer Room Air Handlers (CRAHs), and air economizers. Within this industrial control system infrastructure, the BMS serves as the primary control platform for all mechanical systems within the data center, while the EPMS functions as the primary monitoring platform for all electrical systems. This position offers the opportunity to work with technology in mission-critical environments while contributing to the reliability and efficiency of AWS's global infrastructure.
Key job responsibilities
- Primarily work in and support multiple data centers by deploying, servicing, and upgrading BMS and EPMS systems.
- Mentor and train Facilities team members on the operation and control of BMS and EPMS systems.
- Manage small to medium-sized projects and programs.
- Perform point-to-point checkouts between field devices and controllers.
- Perform first-line diagnostics, troubleshooting, and maintenance of programming code and hardware associated with BMS and EPMS in data centers.
- Execute provisioning processes for servers, controllers, industrial PCs, and network configurations, including communication testing between third-party devices and controllers or servers.
- Install, replace, configure, and calibrate sensors.
- Read and interpret electrical schematics and control panel drawings with a basic understanding of closed-loop controls, field sensor scaling, and functions typically performed by industrial controllers.
- Supervise low-voltage electrical contractors performing wiring and installation of field devices in compliance with AWS requirements.
- Provide commissioning and systems-level testing support.
- Create red-lined drawings and documentation of systems.
- Follow change management processes to generate work requests and methods of procedures.
- Participate in factory witness tests at vendor or panel builder facilities.
- Perform root cause analysis during testing and commissioning.
- Ensure personnel on site utilize proper safety methodology.
- Perform service activities including monitoring and reviewing ticketing systems, conducting root cause analysis, and prioritizing tasks.
- Actively manage service agreements including vendor labor scheduling, quality assurance, and financial invoice review.
- Participate in material handling tasks such as lifting, carrying, or moving up to 50 lbs of equipment, and utilize OSHA-standard safety equipment including limited weight-bearing work platforms, ladders, step stools, and personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety harnesses.
- Perform other tasks as assigned by manager.
A day in the life
As a Data Center Controls Technician, your primary customers are Data Center Engineering Operations (DCEO), who rely on you to keep Building Management Systems (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS) healthy and operational.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Data Engineering Intern
Align your degree to the role description
Internship postings sometimes list a degree as 'preferred' rather than 'required.' E-3 visa eligibility depends on a degree requirement, so ask the recruiter to confirm the role is classified as a specialty occupation before you progress.
Target employers enrolled in E-Verify
Some tech employers require E-Verify enrollment before hiring international interns. Check with your recruiter early, E-Verify enrollment is a separate process from the LCA and can add lead time before your start date.
Search for E-3 sponsorship on Migrate Mate
Most generic job boards don't filter by visa sponsorship type. Migrate Mate lets you search specifically for Data Engineering Intern roles where employers have active E-3 sponsorship history, saving you time on outreach.
Request your LCA before resigning from current work
Your employer must file the Labor Condition Application with DOL and receive certification before you can attend your consulate appointment. Build at least two to three weeks of LCA processing time into your transition plan.
Confirm your Australian three-year degree is accepted
USCIS recognizes Australian three-year bachelor's degrees as equivalent to U.S. four-year degrees for E-3 purposes. Carry your academic transcripts and, if requested, a credential evaluation letter to your consulate appointment.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the paperwork
Internship offers move fast and LCA errors cause delays. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service manages your LCA submission, DS-160, and consulate preparation end-to-end so you don't lose your offer to a paperwork mistake.
E-3 Visa Data Engineering Intern: Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find Data Engineering Intern jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is the recommended starting point, it filters Data Engineering Intern listings specifically for roles where employers are willing to provide E-3 visa sponsorship for Australian nationals. Most general job boards don't surface sponsorship willingness at the search level, which means you'd otherwise need to individually confirm each employer's position before applying.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Data Engineering Intern role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
It can, but not automatically. The role must require at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as computer science, data science, or information systems, not just any degree. If the job description says a degree is 'preferred' or 'a plus,' that language won't support an E-3 application. Ask the employer to confirm the degree requirement in writing before the LCA is filed.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Data Engineering Intern roles?
The E-3 has a significant practical advantage for internships: there's no lottery and no cap, so your start date depends only on how quickly the employer files the LCA and you complete your consulate appointment. H-1B visa has an annual cap of 85,000 slots selected by lottery, which makes it unsuitable for time-sensitive intern placements. The E-3 is available year-round and can be processed in weeks rather than months.
Can I convert an E-3 internship into full-time sponsorship after graduation?
Yes. If the employer wants to hire you full-time after the internship, they file a new LCA for the full-time role and you attend another consulate appointment. The E-3 is renewable indefinitely in two-year increments, so there's no built-in expiration on your ability to keep working for that employer as long as the specialty occupation requirement is met.
