Controls Systems Engineer, Deployment Engineering

About the Company

We exist to make humanity more free. Technology has historically given people more time for the things they want to do, instead of things they have to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built—but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them—with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. We hire people who care deeply about this problem space.

About the Team

The Deployment Engineering Team tackles key problems such as:

• Turning 10s to 100s of GWs of design into built, running infrastructure. The Design team sets the blueprint; this team ensures it survives contact with a live construction schedule and becomes a real site.
• Closing the gap between engineering-complete and operations-ready. A design that passes review must still survive commissioning, integration, and energization.
• Making the tenth site faster and cleaner than the first by feeding field learnings back into standards, turning one-off challenges into repeatable playbooks.
• Handing off infrastructure that's reliable from the moment it goes live, as AI compute workloads don't tolerate shaky handovers.

Responsibilities

• Deploy and commission BMS, SCADA, and EPMS systems at data center sites, running FAT, field integration, loop checks, sequence verification, and acceptance testing through to live handover.
• Support operational reliability of deployed control systems, responding to alerts and failures on live infrastructure and implementing fixes to prevent recurrence.
• Resolve field integration issues between control system layers and connected mechanical and electrical systems during commissioning, escalating with clear problem descriptions and proposed fixes.
• Configure and verify control sequences, alarm setpoints, and data historian integrations against operational requirements.
• Contribute to commissioning checklists, acceptance test procedures, and runbooks that speed up and standardize future deployments.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience deploying and commissioning control systems on industrial or mission-critical facilities with hands-on accountability for live system startup and acceptance.
• Programming and configuration experience with PLCs, SCADA, or HMI systems on at least one major platform (Rockwell, Siemens, Ignition, or equivalent).
• Ability to troubleshoot control system integration failures and loop errors independently during active commissioning.
• Willingness to travel to deployment and operations sites up to 50 percent of the time.

Preferred Qualifications

• Data center BMS/EPMS experience across chilled water, HVAC, power monitoring, and environmental monitoring systems.
• Proficiency in ladder logic, function block, or structured text programming.
• Familiarity with alarm management standards and control system reliability practices.
• Experience with remote monitoring platforms, data historians, or DCIM systems.

Benefits

• Offers equity in the form of stock options.
