Principal Electrical Design Engineer Location/ Division Specific Information-
USA – Austin, TX USA – Remote How will you make an impact?
We are seeking a highly experienced and innovative Principal Controls Engineer to lead the development, optimization and implementation of advanced control systems across critical infrastructure products and automation platforms. This role is critical to ensuring the performance, reliability, and scalability of critical systems, with a strong emphasis on data center infrastructure, power/energy management, and industrial automation. The position includes designing and developing wiring harness systems, including schematic creation, harness architecture, panel layout, developing specifications, selecting key components, and transitioning design to manufacturing. It also includes leading test process implementation and ensuring equipment alignment to maintain high standards of operational excellence and reliability.
What will you do?
Define and own the control system architecture across multiple platforms, including PLCs, BMS, EPMS, and ATS systems, ensuring scalability, reliability, and maintainability.
Develop detailed control system specifications, functional design documents, and interface definitions for all subsystems.
Proficiency in PLC/SCADA programming, HMI development, and system integration with IT networks and facility equipment.
Ability to read and create BOMs, visual aids, electrical schematics, control diagrams, and sequence of operations.
Define control logic, sensor integration, and communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, BACnet, SNMP) for intelligent power and cooling management.
Validate control systems through simulation, testing, and commissioning to ensure reliability, safety, and responsiveness.
Experience with critical infrastructure systems: UPS, generators, switchgear, chillers, CRAC/CRAH units, fire suppression systems.
Lead Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) for new projects and revisions.
Hands-on experience in design, commissioning, and operation of mission-critical facilities
Drive the development of system-level simulations and digital twins to validate control strategies before deployment
Architect integration strategies for control systems with enterprise platforms such as SCADA, CMMS, and cloud-based monitoring tools
Establish design patterns and best practices for modular and reusable control logic across projects
Lead root cause analysis and resolution of complex control system issues during commissioning and operations
Evaluate emerging technologies and automation trends to continuously improve system performance and efficiency
Develop and maintain documentation for system architecture, control logic, and operational procedures
Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, software, and facilities engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of control systems with physical infrastructure
Work closely with cross functional teams to align control system designs with business requirements, timelines, and operational constraints
Facilitate design reviews, technical workshops, and cross-functional planning sessions to ensure alignment and transparency across engineering disciplines
Support commissioning and field teams during deployment, troubleshooting, and optimization of control systems
How will you get here? Education
Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or a relevant Engineering discipline, is required
