Responsibilities
Define and implement the control systems architecture, including hardware (PLCs, sensors), software (SCADA, analytics), and network integration.
Own evaluation and adoption of emerging technologies such as AI-driven controls, machine learning algorithms for anomaly detection, and advanced sensor integration to enhance automation and predictive capabilities.
Lead a team of controls, instrumentation, and automation engineers.
Design and commission BMS/EPMS/SCADA systems that support high-density compute and hybrid cooling.
Establish standardized design, commissioning, and documentation protocols for controls systems to ensure consistency, safety, and scalability across multiple sites.
Architect modular and scalable control solutions to support rapid expansion of AI infrastructure while minimizing integration complexity and downtime.
Facilitate seamless integration of controls systems with mechanical, electrical, and IT teams, ensuring a compliant and cohesive operation of building infrastructure and data center environments.
Collaborate closely with cybersecurity teams to implement secure network architectures, intrusion detection systems, and incident response plans specific to control environments.
Develop digital twin and simulation environments for operational forecasting and risk management.
Implement comprehensive telemetry and alerting frameworks that provide operators with actionable insights and rapid response capabilities.
Requirements
Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical/Controls/Automation Engineering.
10–15+ years in mission-critical systems automation, with hands-on BMS/SCADA experience.
Understanding of IT/OT convergence, network security, and telemetry frameworks.
