Job Description

• Serve as the primary technical coordinator for all BTM generation controls during the design phase of data center projects. • Align design deliverables from the OE, EPC firms, consultants, and OEMs to ensure cohesive system architecture. • Coordinate such things as requirements for validating generator controls and sequencing, paralleling logic, load-shed schemes, MV switchgear control philosophy, microgrid controller interactions, and communications networks. • Manage design interface points between such things as: o Generators & MV switchgear o PLCs & supervisory control (SCADA/EPMS/BMS) o Utility interconnection & protection systems o Microgrid controllers & DER assets, e.g. BESS, PV, Fuel Cells. • Develop standardized documents and maintain and enforce corporate controls standards, templates, and design guidelines across projects. • Review and refine control narratives, hardware selections, BoD, SOO, I/O lists, one-lines, network diagrams. • Ensure designs meet uptime, redundancy, and black-start requirements for large-scale data centers. • Act as the primary liaison between internal and external stakeholders particularly the OE and, cross-functional data center teams facilitating alignment on design intent, requirements, and technical decisions. • Coordinate design review cycles, resolve discrepancies, and lead technical deep-dives with electrical engineering, operations, construction, and commissioning teams. • Engage OEMs, i.e. generator, switchgear, PLC, relay manufacturers, to clarify design requirements and coordinate custom controls integrations. • Identify design gaps, interface conflicts, or incompatible assumptions early in the design cycle and drive resolution. • Develop mitigation strategies for risks associated with generator controls, EPMS/BMS integration, and microgrid or parallel operation schemes. • Provide engineering judgment to guide design tradeoffs affecting reliability, safety, or operational performance. • Interface with commissioning teams to ensure design packages support testability and system verification during FAT/SAT/IST. • Ensure design outputs reflect future operational workflows and maintenance considerations.

Job Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical, mechanical, controls, or a directly related discipline.
  • 7-10 years of verifiable experience with generator controls, microgrids, or mission-critical electrical systems.
  • Deep familiarity with data center electrical topologies: MV distribution, UPS/STS systems, EPMS/BMS integration.
  • Strong understanding of controls platforms such as Emerson, Foxboro, Allen-Bradley, Schneider, SEL RTAC, Woodward, ComAp and communication protocols like Modbus, DNP3, OPC UA, GOOSE, IEC 61850.
  • Experience coordinating design between multiple engineering disciplines and external stakeholders.
  • Technical writing and design review skills.
  • Ability to work fully remote with periodic travel for design workshops or key project milestones.
  • Experience collaborating directly with Owner’s Engineer organizations.
  • Hyperscale data center experience (design, engineering, or commissioning).
  • Background in microgrid controls, BESS, and inverter-based power systems.
  • Professional Engineer (PE) or equivalent senior-level technical credentials. EIT or other qualification as a minimum required

Benefits

  • Team building and educational opportunities
  • Generous benefits package including robust health benefits and a 401(k) company contribution
