About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Design and integrate automation systems for on-site power generation serving large AI data center campuses
- Own control architecture and functional requirements across generation packages, balance-of-plant systems, electrical protection, microgrid controls, and data center monitoring
- Define control-system architecture, functional design specifications, sequences of operation, cause-and-effect matrices, alarm philosophy, and interface requirements
- Integrate OEM controls, PLCs, DCS, SCADA, historian, microgrid controllers, protection systems, and data center BMS or EPMS platforms
- Develop and review I/O lists, network architecture, control narratives, graphics, alarm limits, interlocks, permissives, and fail-safe behavior
- Coordinate synchronization, load sharing, islanding, black start, load shedding, restoration, and generation-to-data-center operating modes
- Evaluate cybersecurity, redundancy, time synchronization, communications protocols, data quality, and remote-support requirements
- Lead or support software reviews, simulator testing, factory acceptance testing, site acceptance testing, commissioning, and tuning
- Troubleshoot control-system and plant-performance issues and convert findings into corrective actions and reusable standards
- Partner with electrical, mechanical, CSA, IT, security, operations, OEM, EPC, and data center controls teams
- Work from concept through factory testing, site commissioning, performance validation, and operational improvement
- Travel approximately 50%
Requirements
What you’ll need- 8+ years of controls, automation, or instrumentation engineering experience in power generation, industrial plants, utilities, or mission-critical infrastructure
- Strong experience with PLC, DCS, SCADA, historian, industrial networking, and control-system integration
- Knowledge of generation controls, synchronization, load sharing, protective interfaces, process control, and safety interlocks
- Experience developing functional specifications, sequences, I/O, alarms, graphics, and factory or site test procedures
- Ability to troubleshoot across software, instrumentation, electrical, mechanical, communications, and operating-process boundaries
- Understanding of industrial cybersecurity, redundancy, failover, and change-control practices
- Bachelor's degree in controls, electrical, mechanical, chemical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field
