Location: Austin, New York, San Francisco, Seattle
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Software Engineering
Seniority: Mid level

Key Responsibilities

  • •Design and deploy SCADA architecture to monitor and control power, cooling, and mechanical systems across gigawatt-scale data center sites in real time.
  • •Integrate telemetry from switchgear, generators, chillers, and building management systems into a unified data platform for unified operational visibility.
  • •Build tag databases, HMI screens, and alarm logic enabling a lean operations team to run live sites without missing faults.
  • •Standardize the SCADA and telemetry stack into a repeatable reference design for consistent instrumentation and data models across new sites.
  • •Validate points and signals with controls, commissioning, and operations teams before go-live to ensure trustworthy data from day one.

Pay and Benefits

Salary: USD 197,000 - 227,000 annually

Key Requirements

  • •Designed and commissioned SCADA or industrial control systems for critical facilities or power infrastructure.
  • •Integrated field devices and protocols such as Modbus, BACnet, DNP3, and OPC UA into a working telemetry platform.
  • •Built HMI and alarm systems that operators trusted and used under real fault conditions.
  • •Standardized controls or telemetry design so it could be deployed repeatedly across multiple sites.
  • •Caught instrumentation and data-quality problems during commissioning before sites went live.
