BMS Controls Engineer
$55 per hourTemporary
Kforce has a client in Palo Alto, CA that is seeking a specialized BMS Controls Engineer to bridge the gap between our Facilities Operations and Data Science teams. The ideal candidate will optimize our Building Management Systems (BMS) not just for operation, but for high-fidelity data acquisition. You will work closely with facilities personnel to instrument systems, validate sensor accuracy, and architect the data pipeline required to feed predictive Machine Learning models. What You'll Do:
- Collaborate with facilities staff to identify critical control points and sensors required for ML modeling
- Translate the complex requirements of the ML team into technical tasks for the facilities team
- Conduct regular audits of trend data to identify "flatlined" sensors, calibration drifts, or communication drop-outs
- Design and maintain the pathway from the BMS (Edge) to the central repository (Cloud/On-Prem)
- Develop automated scripts or dashboards to monitor the health of the data pipeline (ensuring uptime and completeness); PLC setup, HMI development (Ignition/WebCntrl/Desigo) and developing the sequence of operations
- Configure and program controllers to communicate via standard industry protocols; Program DDCs and Siemens PLCs using TIA-Portal
- Develop, maintain, and upgrade intuitive graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and dashboards within Ignition and ALC the BMS platforms to visualize system performance for end users; Develop Alarm rationalization with feedback from Facility operations
- Troubleshoot software, and network issues that result in poor data quality
- Program control sequences and alarm logic; Manage tag databases, historical data logging, and SQL database connections for reporting
- Manage and prioritize requests for information on new construction builds, existing site facilities support and legacy site enhancement projects
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience) with 5+ years of experience
- Bonus: Certifications such as Certified Energy Manager (CEM), Building Automation Professional (BAP), or similar
- Experience with Inductive Automation Ignition, Automated Logic (ALC) WebCTRL, or Siemens Desigo
- Knowledge of major protocols: BACnet/IP, BACnet MSTP, Modbus TCP/RTU, Profinet.
- Experience with Python (Jython for Ignition) scripting, SQL databases, EIKON (ALC Logic)
- Knowledge of networking fundamentals (IP addressing, VLANs, switches)
- Knowledge of energy management, HVAC controls, or sustainable building practices
- Ability to program and Integrate Variable Frequency Derives (ABB & Sinamics)
- Proficiency with SQL or Time-Series Databases (e.g., InfluxDB, TimescaleDB)
