Controls Engineer - Data Centers & Mission-Critical Systems (Ignition / Inductive Automation)

New York (Hybrid)

Controls is the difference between a facility that runs quietly and one that keeps dragging ops into problems that shouldn't exist.

We're working with a US data center owner/operator in New York that's strengthening its in-house controls capability. This is an operator-side seat, not a vendor coordination role. The role has real ownership of how building systems behave in production.

The environment spans BMS / EPMS integration, PLC/DDC logic, mechanical and electrical control, and the software layer that makes it usable for operations. Inductive Automation (Ignition) is a key part of the platform, so experience building or supporting Ignition deployments will translate immediately.

What you'll own

You're responsible for making the controls system predictable, stable, and supportable across live and expanding sites.

  • Engineering and refining control sequences for critical mechanical + electrical infrastructure
  • Supporting / developing Ignition environments (tags, alarming, graphics, historian trends, integration)
  • Integrating PLC/DDC control layers with BMS/EPMS and operational monitoring
  • Troubleshooting performance issues post-installation (and preventing repeat issues)
  • Supporting commissioning efforts: functional testing, IST readiness, closeout discipline
  • Producing clean documentation (point lists, sequence narratives, standards) that ops can actually use

The background that fits

You've worked in controls where uptime matters - data centers, industrial automation, power environments, or other mission-critical facilities. You can read drawings, challenge sequences, and solve problems in the field without creating churn.

Ignition experience is a strong advantage. If you're coming from PLC / industrial automation and you're confident you can ramp quickly into data center controls, that can work too - the logic patterns are familiar even when the application changes.

Why it's worth a look

This is a technically serious shop where controls is treated as an operational function - not an afterthought. You'll have direct access to engineering leadership, short feedback loops, and the ability to influence standards across future builds.
