DESCRIPTION
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 cutting-edge technology in mission-critical environments while contributing to the reliability and efficiency of AWS's global infrastructure.
Amazon does not sponsor for immigration, including for H-1B, TN, and other non-immigrant visas, for this role.
Key job responsibilities
Manage small to medium-sized projects and programs.
Perform point-to-point checkouts, first-line diagnostics, troubleshooting, and maintenance of BMS/EPMS code and hardware.
Provision servers, controllers, industrial PCs, and networks; test communication with third-party devices.
Install, replace, configure, and calibrate sensors.
Read and interpret electrical schematics and control panel drawings, applying closed-loop controls and field sensor scaling.
Supervise low-voltage contractors per AWS requirements.
Provide commissioning and systems-level testing; create red-lined drawings and documentation.
Follow change management processes for work requests and methods of procedures.
Participate in factory witness tests and perform root cause analysis during testing and commissioning.
Monitor ticketing systems, prioritize tasks, and manage service agreements (vendor scheduling, QA, invoice review).
Enforce on-site safety methodology.
Physical Requirements Lift and move up to 50 lbs; use ladders, platforms, and OSHA-standard PPE including safety harnesses.
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. On a given day, you are the boots on the ground solving problems that directly impact data center availability. You might diagnose a controller communication loss, calibrate instruments feeding inaccurate data to operators, or supervise vendors performing quarterly maintenance. For new builds, you perform point to point testing and support commissioning alongside construction teams.

Engineering Technician Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a engineering technician in Arizona?
The most direct path is completing an associate degree in engineering technology, electronics technology, or a closely related discipline at an Arizona community college or technical institute such as Mesa Community College or Pima Community College. Arizona does not require a state-issued license for most engineering technician roles, but certifications from NICET or the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies strengthen candidacy significantly. Employers in aerospace and semiconductor sectors often require demonstrated lab or shop experience alongside the credential.
Which companies hire engineering technicians in Arizona?
Employers hiring engineering technicians in Arizona right now include ASM, Amazon, and McMillen, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Arizona's dense aerospace corridor along the I-10 and Loop 101 corridors, combined with its growing semiconductor presence in the greater Phoenix area, means large defense contractors and chip manufacturers are among the most consistent sources of openings.
Which Arizona cities have the most engineering technician jobs?
Phoenix, Tucson, and Mesa account for the largest share of engineering technician openings in Arizona. Phoenix leads because of its concentration of aerospace primes, semiconductor fabs, and utility companies, while Tucson draws from the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base supply chain and Raytheon's large defense campus, and Mesa benefits from its proximity to both the Phoenix metro manufacturing base and expanding technology park developments in the East Valley.
Are there remote engineering technician jobs in Arizona?
Yes, but they're rare. Engineering technician work is largely hands-on and tied to physical equipment, test benches, or production floors, so fully remote positions represent a small share of total openings. About 0% of engineering technician openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those that do offer flexibility tend to involve data analysis, documentation review, or quality assurance work that can be performed off-site.
How can I get hired as a engineering technician in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for technician apprentice or engineering support roles at Arizona's large defense and semiconductor employers, many of which hire recent graduates from community college programs. Intel's Arizona operations and Raytheon Technologies both run structured new-hire technician pipelines that pair candidates with on-the-job training. Lateral moves from roles such as manufacturing associate, quality inspector, or lab assistant are common stepping stones, and earning a NICET Level I certification or completing a co-op placement through a local technical college noticeably improves candidacy.
Where can I find and apply to engineering technician jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to engineering technician jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current Arizona openings across aerospace, semiconductor, utilities, and other technical sectors. Find the roles that fit your background and apply directly to the employers posting them.
