Controls Engineer, SCADA

Design, deploy, and standardize SCADA architecture and telemetry for real-time monitoring and control of power, cooling, and mechanical systems at gigawatt-scale AI data centers. Requires experience commissioning industrial control systems, integrating protocols, building trusted HMIs/alarms, and ensuring data quality for operations.

About the job

Role Scope

  • Design and deploy the SCADA architecture that monitors and controls power, cooling, and mechanical systems across gigawatt-scale data center sites in real time.
  • Integrate telemetry from switchgear, generators, chillers, and building management systems into a unified data platform so operators see the full state of a site from a single view.
  • Build the tag databases, HMI screens, and alarm logic that let a lean operations team run live sites without missing a fault.
  • Standardize the SCADA and telemetry stack into a repeatable reference design so each new site deploys the same instrumentation and data model rather than a bespoke build.
  • Validate every point and signal with the controls, commissioning, and operations teams before a site goes live, so the data operators depend on is trustworthy from day one.

What We're Looking For

  • You've designed and commissioned SCADA or industrial control systems for critical facilities, mission-critical, industrial, or power infrastructure.
  • You've integrated field devices and protocols (Modbus, BACnet, DNP3, OPC UA) into a working telemetry platform rather than a pile of disconnected points.
  • You've built HMI and alarm systems that operators actually trusted and used under real fault conditions.
  • You've standardized a controls or telemetry design so it could be deployed repeatably across multiple sites instead of rebuilt each time.
  • You've caught instrumentation and data-quality problems during commissioning before they reached a live operations team.
  • You write configuration and point documentation precise enough that another engineer can maintain or extend the system without reverse-engineering it.
  • Bonus: Data center or high-density power environment experience. Ignition, AVEVA, or comparable SCADA platforms. Time-series data pipelines and historians. Level 4 and Level 5 commissioning exposure.
