  • Program and configure PLCs using platforms such as Schneider Electric Modicon, Rockwell Allen-Bradley, and Siemens systems
  • Develop SCADA applications using platforms including Aveva System Platform, Ignition, and other HMI/supervisory systems
  • Design control panel layouts and specify hardware components including I/O modules, communication interfaces, and safety systems
  • Select and specify instrumentation including sensors, transmitters, actuators, and control valves to meet system performance requirements
  • Configure communication networks using industrial protocols such as OPC-UA, Modbus TCP/IP, MQTT, and Ethernet-IP
  • Ensure proper integration between control systems and enterprise networks while maintaining security boundaries
  • Develop and maintain interface specifications between control systems and external systems
  • Create comprehensive technical documentation including P&IDs, control narratives, sequence of operations, and testing procedures
  • Develop and maintain control system standards and specifications
  • Document system architectures, communication protocols, and integration requirements
  • Create commissioning and startup procedures for control systems deployment
  • Maintain accurate as-built documentation and configuration management records
  • Evaluate emerging control technologies and assess their applicability to data center operations
  • Stay current with industry trends and best practices in industrial automation and building controls

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Electrical, Controls, Mechanical) or equivalent practical experience with 7+ years in control systems design and implementation
  • Demonstrated expertise in PLC programming (Ladder Logic, Function Block, Structured Text) and SCADA/HMI development using industrial platforms
  • Experience with industrial automation, critical facilities, or data center environments including instrumentation selection and control system integration
  • Working knowledge of industrial communication protocols (OPC-UA, Modbus TCP/IP, MQTT, Ethernet-IP) and network configuration principles
  • Data driven problem-solving abilities with concise documentation skills and ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams

Nice to have

  • 10+ years in data center, critical facilities, or mission-critical infrastructure with knowledge of building automation systems and energy management
  • Experience with manufacturing environments, equipment deployment processes, commissioning activities, and large-scale system rollouts across multiple facilities
  • Professional Engineering (PE) license, vendor certifications (Schneider, Rockwell, Siemens), industry certifications (ISA automation, building commissioning), or networking certifications (CCNA, CCNP, CompTIA Network+)
  • Experience with cybersecurity frameworks for industrial control systems, DCIM platforms, and advanced control strategies (optimization algorithms, predictive control)
  • Knowledge of relevant codes and standards (ASHRAE, NFPA, IEEE, ISA) including networking standards (IEEE 802.3, TIA/EIA-568, ISO/IEC 11801) and experience with hyperscale infrastructure or large-scale industrial operations
