Controls Engineer, Design Development

Role Scope

• Create template controls designs for fully modular data center builds, enabling one validated design set to deploy across every site.
• Write sequences of operations defining how mechanical and electrical systems run; hand them to the programming team as the source of truth for code.
• Build standard points lists and bills of materials that lock in instrumentation, IO, and controls hardware for every modular build.
• Own the Division 25 integrated automation specification end to end, keeping it current as equipment, vendors, and site designs change.
• Coordinate controls design across mechanical, electrical, and commissioning teams to ensure alignment with equipment and required tests.

Requirements

• Produced controls design packages, drawings, points lists, or specifications that contractors or programmers built from without follow-up questions.
• Written sequences of operations for mechanical or electrical systems and seen them implemented in real controllers.
• Authored or owned a Division 25 integrated automation specification (or equivalent controls spec) and kept it accurate across multiple projects.
• Built standard points lists and BOMs, understanding how errors lead to change orders.
• Design for repeatability: turn one-off engineering into reusable templates.
• Identify coordination gaps between mechanical, electrical, and controls scopes before they reach the field.

Nice-to-Haves

• Data center mechanical and electrical systems (chiller plants, CRAH/CRAC, fan wall units, switchgear).
• Modular or productized build delivery.
• BMS and SCADA platforms over BACnet and Modbus.
• CSI MasterFormat and Division 25 spec writing.
• Points list and IO schedule tooling.
