That’s why we’re not just transforming cancer care-we’re changing lives.\nWe introduced precision medicine to the world and built an industry around the idea that every patient deserves answers as unique as their DNA. Backed by cutting-edge molecular science and AI, we ask ourselves every day:“What would I do if this patient were my mom?”That question drives everything we do.\nBut our mission doesn’t stop with cancer. We're pushing the frontiers of medicine and leading a revolution in healthcare-driven by innovation, compassion, and purpose.\nJoin us in our mission to improve the human condition across multiple diseases. If you're passionate about meaningful work and want to be part of something bigger than yourself, Caris is where your impact begins.\nPosition Summary\nThe Facilities Control Engineer Lead is the enterprise technical authority for the design, governance, reliability, and lifecycle management of Building Management Systems (BMS) and facility automation platforms supporting regulated laboratory, manufacturing, and office environments.
