Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Control Systems Engineer
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
Berkeley Lab's Facilities Division is hiring a
Control Systems Engineer . The role involves enhancing system reliability and energy efficiency in the Facility Monitoring and Control Systems (FMCS, BMS, BAS, and EMS) to support Berkeley Lab’s research facilities. Key responsibilities include FMCS operations, application troubleshooting, alarm management, cybersecurity, trend data analysis, and maintenance of field controllers, networks, and energy monitoring systems. The engineer will support capital projects, particularly HVAC and control system retrofits, through design review, project oversight, and contractor management.What You Will Do:Identifies and implements strategies using building and site automation controls to save energy and improve operability.Formulates and implements detailed controls engineering sequences for multiple ongoing projects.Prepares engineering analysis, conceptual designs, design criteria, scopes of work, and maintenance information based on requirements.Supports building trades during construction, reviews controls programming, and verifies system performance and compliance during commissioning.Conducts studies in existing facilities, prepares project proposals, develops performance methodologies, performs field measurements, proposes modifications, estimates retrofit costs, performs life cycle cost analysis, and prepares reports.Performs field inspections of HVAC and Control Systems installations and participates in Functional Performance Testing and commissioning.Plans, schedules, conducts, and coordinates detailed engineering work to meet project requirements.Field-verifies and updates record drawings for Mechanical and Control Systems to reflect current conditions, including Process and Instrumentation Diagrams.Directs technicians for installations and system modifications and reviews HVAC and Control System submittal documents.Complies with and enforces applicable Federal, Department of Energy, State of California, and industry design laws, regulations, orders, codes, directives, and standards.What is Required:Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, electrical, or control systems engineering, or a related discipline, with a minimum of eight years of experience, or a combination of 12 years education and experience.Experience in HVAC and Control System design and construction, particularly in retrofit projects.Extensive experience designing automatic control systems for laboratories, clean rooms, cold rooms, shops, and office facilities.Significant experience coordinating with other engineering disciplines and trades personnel.Experience with control system retrofit projects from design to completion.Proficiency with data analytics and data historian systems.BACnet building automation system architecture, communications, and operating sequences.Design, programming, construction support, and performance verification of building automation controls.Ability to translate written sequences of operation into Automated Logic (ALC) or Johnson Controls Metasys programs.Proficiency with engineering software, DDC systems (ALC WebCTRL, Johnson Controls Metasys, Lutron, Encelium, Wattstopper), and data analysis.Proficiency with IT systems, networking, and application software maintenance.Knowledge of regulatory and industry safety codes, environmental regulations, and energy-efficiency codes.Ability to commission and troubleshoot control systems software, networks, controllers, and devices.Effective verbal and written communication with diverse groups and individuals.Desired Qualifications:Advanced degree in related areas(s).PE license in mechanical, electrical, or control system engineering or related discipline.Professional accreditation in energy management or related area(s) such as LEED, CEM, or CLEP.
