- 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.

- 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.

Experience:
