We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help. You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
As a Controls Engineer within the Fleet Remediation Engineering (FRE) team, you will lead the design, specification, and implementation of Building Management System (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring System (EPMS) controls solutions for data center retrofit projects. You will bridge the gap between mechanical/electrical retrofit design and controls integration, ensuring that upgraded systems are properly monitored, controlled, and optimized across our existing fleet. This role combines deep controls engineering expertise with the fleet remediation mission of evolving our data centers to meet ever-changing customer needs at hyper-scale.
Key job responsibilities
- Lead controls design and integration for mechanical and electrical retrofit projects across the existing data center fleet, ensuring BMS and EPMS systems are properly specified, programmed, and commissioned.
- Develop and maintain controls design standards, specifications, and scope of work (SOW) documents specific to fleet remediation retrofit projects, aligning with global design standards.
- Collaborate with FRE mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, construction teams, commissioning, and operations stakeholders to deliver integrated controls solutions that support retrofit objectives.
- Serve as the central technical authority for BMS/EPMS controls within FRE, managing and prioritizing controls scope across retrofit projects, legacy site enhancements, and capacity recovery initiatives.
- Perform controls design reviews on retrofit packages, identifying risks, gaps, and opportunities for optimization in monitoring and automation strategies.
- Coordinate with controls vendors and programmers on bid reviews, RFI support, controller drawings, MOPs, and code reviews, ensuring deliverables meet FRE standards.
- Develop and review control sequences of operation, control diagrams, point lists, and network architecture for retrofit applications including HVAC upgrades, power distribution modifications, and liquid cooling integrations.
- Interact with AWS cloud services and data analytics platforms to support data reporting, energy optimization, and operational intelligence initiatives.
- Anticipate roadblocks and risks in controls integration, providing escalation management and proactive solutions to maintain project timelines.
- Travel domestically and internationally as needed to support retrofit project initiatives, site surveys, and commissioning activities.
- Provide engineering judgment and design recommendations for controls scope despite uncertainty, particularly on legacy systems with limited documentation.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Design Project Manager
Frame your credentials around technical design
TN visa approval for Design Project Managers depends on your degree aligning with engineering, architecture, or industrial design, not general management. Translate your credential into USMCA Engineer category language before you apply to any role.
Target employers with active construction or product pipelines
General contractors, architecture firms, and consumer electronics manufacturers sponsor Design Project Managers most consistently. Filter your search by industries where design deliverables are regulated or deadline-driven, since those employers already understand TN documentation requirements.
Confirm the job description covers specialty occupation work
A Design Project Manager offer letter must describe duties that require a technical degree, not just organizational oversight. Ask your prospective employer to separate design scope from administrative tasks so the TN support letter reflects qualifying specialty work.
Verify the employer can write a compliant support letter
Your employer's TN support letter must specify your start date, employment duration, and the technical nature of your role. Many hiring managers draft vague letters that get challenged at the border. USCIS guidance on TN support letters outlines exactly what officers expect.
Use Migrate Mate to find employers already sponsoring TN roles
Searching broadly wastes time on employers unfamiliar with visa sponsorship. Migrate Mate surfaces Design Project Manager roles from employers with recent visa filings, so your application lands where the infrastructure for work visa sponsorship already exists.
Prepare for secondary inspection with role-specific documentation
Canadian citizens entering at a port of entry should carry their degree, credential evaluation if the institution is Canadian, and a detailed offer letter. Design-heavy portfolios or project summaries can resolve officer questions about whether the role is genuinely technical.
Design Project Manager TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Design Project Manager role qualify for TN visa status?
It depends on how the role is structured. TN status applies to engineers and certain technical professionals under USMCA, not to management roles in general. A Design Project Manager qualifies when the position requires applying engineering or industrial design principles and your degree matches that discipline. Roles focused primarily on scheduling or client relations, without technical design responsibility, are harder to support.
How does TN compare to H-1B for Design Project Manager positions?
TN has no annual lottery, no cap for Canadian citizens, and can be obtained at a port of entry the same day for Canadians. H-1B visa is capped at 85,000 annually and requires a lottery selection before any petition is filed. For Design Project Managers whose credentials align with a qualifying TN category, TN is faster and more predictable. The tradeoff is that TN does not carry dual intent, so long-term permanent residency planning requires separate consideration.
What documents does my employer need to provide for TN sponsorship?
Your employer must provide a support letter on company letterhead stating your job title, a description of duties confirming the role requires a technical degree, your start date, the duration of employment, and your compensation. For Canadian citizens, you present this letter directly at the U.S. border or port of entry—no advance government filings are required. The letter must be precise enough to satisfy a CBP officer's review on the spot. For Mexican citizens, the same support letter is submitted to a U.S. consulate as part of your visa application.
Where can I find Design Project Manager jobs with TN visa sponsorship?
Most general job boards don't filter by visa sponsorship type, which means you end up applying to roles where the employer has never processed a TN. Migrate Mate is built specifically for TN and other treaty-based visa seekers, surfacing Design Project Manager roles from employers who are already familiar with the sponsorship process and prepared to provide the required documentation.
Can Mexican citizens get TN status for Design Project Manager roles at the border like Canadians?
No. Mexican TN applicants must apply at a U.S. consulate in Mexico rather than at a port of entry. The process requires scheduling a consular interview, submitting the DS-160, and paying the MRV fee. Mexican professionals also face a separate annual allocation under USMCA, though this cap has historically not been exhausted. Processing timelines at Mexican consulates vary by location and season.
