Operational Technology Engineer

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end OT critical infrastructure design, programming, configuration, commissioning, sustainment, and ongoing optimization.
• Deliver high-availability OT infrastructure for hyperscale cooling and power control systems, including data center facility networks (MDFs/IDFs), industrial control networks, and server rooms with switches, hosts, and virtualization.
• Provide on-call network infrastructure support for BMS, EPMS, SCADA, PLC, and related systems, including connectivity, addressing, protocol transport, and troubleshooting across Layers 1–4.
• Design and sustain Juniper fiber and copper networks in OT and facility environments, including EX/QFX series, segmentation, VRFs, and integration with industrial control networks.
• Design, implement, and secure OT networks and communications while driving robust segmentation, monitoring, and cybersecurity practices.
• Coordinate with mechanical, electrical, structural, facilities operations, IT/OT networking, and construction teams to integrate control systems with campus infrastructure.
• Perform advanced troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement of OT systems to maximize availability and operational resilience.
• Respond to field issues, design reviews, RFIs, and operational needs while maintaining documentation, change control, and design intent.
• Identify and implement solutions in industrial automation, advanced monitoring, predictive analytics readiness, and standardized control architectures.
• Mentor junior engineers and technicians and improve OT design, programming, and mission-critical facilities standards.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Controls Engineering, Automation Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience as a Controls, OT, or Automation Engineer in data centers, semiconductor fabs, power plants, heavy industrial environments, or other mission-critical facilities.
• Experience designing, implementing, and sustaining OT infrastructure for BMS, EPMS, SCADA, and related control systems.
• Systems administration experience with virtualization platforms, Juniper networks, and SQL databases.
• Experience hardening and monitoring OT servers, including RAID, UPS-backed systems, and isolated management planes.
• Experience with industrial communication protocols and OT network design and segmentation.
• Familiarity with OT cybersecurity principles, secure remote access, VLANs, VRFs, firewalls, jump hosts, and monitoring.
• Experience supporting commissioning of major mechanical and electrical systems in data centers or industrial plants.
• Proven cross-functional collaboration skills with mechanical, electrical, facilities operations, construction, and networking teams.
• Willingness to travel to project sites and work extended hours or non-standard shifts when needed to support critical operations and deployments.

Nice-to-haves

• Juniper EX/QFX experience.
