BW Design Group
Data Center Automation Engineer
You will join one of our 45 offices in the United States, becoming part of a committed team of over 1,500 professionals. In this role, you’ll collaborate with clients to shape technology across their organizations. You will be welcomed into a rapidly growing business, empowered to make an impact, and supported by leaders committed to creating an environment that enables your success and fulfillment.
Design Group is widely known as an industry leader and a top system integrator. Joining our Control System Integration Practice gives you the opportunity to learn from industry experts and participate in events such as the Ignition Build‑A‑Thon, which Design Group won in 2023.
What You’ll Do
Engineer, design, and program Data Center Building Automation Systems (BAS, BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS), with expertise in platforms such as Rockwell Studio 5000, Inductive Automation Ignition, Siemens, Schneider, and industry standards like BACnet and Modbus.
Execute the full lifecycle of complex BAS and EPMS projects—from requirements gathering and system architecture through implementation, commissioning, and client turnover.
Use industry knowledge and trends to guide teams on BAS and EPMS designs and standards for a diverse set of clients and projects.
Contribute to the development of enterprise‑wide standards and best practices for building automation and power monitoring, focusing on scalability, cybersecurity, redundancy, and operational efficiency in data center applications.
Serve as a partner to clients, translating technical needs into engineered solutions, communicating effectively with stakeholders, and building long‑term relationships through the consistent delivery of high‑value results.
Champion innovation in BAS/EPMS technologies, continuously evaluating emerging tools, protocols, and strategies to improve system resilience, energy efficiency, and fault diagnostics.
What You’ll Bring
Minimum of 5 years of progressive engineering experience in building automation, electrical power monitoring systems (EPMS), and integrated controls within mission‑critical environments—especially data centers.
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Control Systems Engineering, or a related discipline.
Expertise in BAS and EPMS platforms and PLC, such as Rockwell Studio 5000, Inductive Automation Ignition, Siemens, Schneider, and industry standards like BACnet and Modbus.
Experience with field instrumentation, industrial networking, system integration, panel design, and SCADA architectures used for environmental and electrical system monitoring.
Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to interface effectively with both technical teams and executive‑level clients, translating technical requirements into strategic solutions.
Analytical mindset with advanced troubleshooting abilities, capable of resolving complex operational challenges and delivering innovative, reliable, and secure solutions.
Flexibility and willingness to travel for project execution, FAT/SFAT, and commissioning activities.
Knowledge of data‑center/mission‑critical commissioning requirements (L1‑L5).
Experience with data‑center and mission‑critical greenfield construction.
Interest in emerging control‑system technology and willingness to learn and contribute in a team environment.
Proficiency in using revision/version control systems (e.g., Git, SVN) to manage automation code, drawings, and configuration files; skilled in tracking changes, maintaining version history, and supporting collaborative development environments.
Project management experience is a plus.
SCADA design and network engineering experience is a plus.
Our culture and commitment to our people set us apart. We foster an environment of mutual respect, integrity, and unconditional interest in the individual and collective success of our professionals. As a Data Center Automation Engineer, you will build a meaningful and fulfilling career with professional development resources and mentorships, including our First‑Year Experience program, Individual Development Plans, and Career Path resources and tools.
Feel like you’re on the path to becoming a Data Center Automation Engineer but you’re not quite there yet? We’d love to connect to see if we can grow you into a Design Group Engineering Consultant.
The approximate pay range for this position is $100 k – $150 k. Please note that this range is a good‑faith estimate for the position at the time of posting; final compensation may vary based on background, knowledge, skills, and abilities as well as geographic location.
