Remote Data Center Controls Engineer information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Data Center Controls Engineer, and why are they important?

To excel as a Remote Data Center Controls Engineer, you need expertise in HVAC systems, building automation, and controls engineering, usually backed by a degree in engineering or a related field. Familiarity with SCADA systems, PLC programming, and certifications such as LEED or BMS are commonly required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective remote communication set top performers apart. These abilities are crucial for ensuring reliable data center operations, energy efficiency, and prompt issue resolution, even when working off-site.

What does a Remote Data Center Controls Engineer do?

A Remote Data Center Controls Engineer is responsible for designing, monitoring, and managing the control systems that regulate environmental conditions, power usage, and security within data centers. They often work remotely to ensure that systems like HVAC, fire suppression, and electrical controls are operating efficiently and reliably. Their duties include troubleshooting issues, optimizing performance, and coordinating with onsite staff or vendors as needed. The role requires strong technical skills in automation and control systems, as well as the ability to analyze system data and respond to alerts or failures quickly.

What is the difference between Remote Data Center Controls Engineer vs Data Center Technician?

AspectRemote Data Center Controls EngineerData Center Technician
CredentialsTypically requires engineering degree, controls or automation certificationsUsually requires technical diploma or certifications in networking or hardware
Work EnvironmentDesign, monitor, and optimize control systems remotely in data centersOn-site hardware installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance
Industry UsageUsed by companies managing large-scale data centers with automation systemsCommon in data centers for routine hardware and network support

The Remote Data Center Controls Engineer focuses on designing and managing control systems remotely, ensuring data center automation and efficiency. In contrast, Data Center Technicians handle on-site hardware maintenance and troubleshooting. Both roles are essential but differ in responsibilities, credentials, and work environment.

Job description

 
About the role

You will own the controls layer for Modular Data Center from design intent to field readiness. This is not just writing sequences. This role makes the system operable: consistent points, clean alarms, predictable fault behavior, and integration-ready interfaces across OEM packaged equipment and site systems. 

We partner with OEMs and integrators, but you own the controls outcome including documentation quality, repeatability across builds, and testable behavior in the field. 

Owns: Controls intent, points list, alarm philosophy, sequences of operation, integration readiness, test alignment (FAT/SAT/IST) 
Travel: 10-30% (OEM integration, FAT/SAT support, early deployments as needed)

Location. This role is remote.

What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities)

Controls Package Ownership (Deliverables) 

  • Create and maintain the controls package: points list, alarm matrix, sequences of operation (SoO), and trend/log requirements. 
  • Define required setpoints, modes, permissives/interlocks, and operational states so behavior is predictable across variants. 

Integration Architecture and Interface Specs 

  • Define the integration approach for packaged equipment and site systems using common controls protocols and clear interface specifications. 
  • Standardize naming/tagging conventions and data models so every build looks the same to operators and monitoring systems. 
  • Own the controls interface baseline (versioning, change control, and impact assessments when packages change). 

Fault Behavior and Operational Clarity 

  • Design and validate fault responses (power events, loss of flow, sensor faults, high temperature conditions, equipment trips). 
  • Ensure alarms are meaningful (actionable, prioritized, and not noisy) and tied to operational intent. 

Test Alignment and Commissioning Readiness 

  • Partner with the CxA/Field Validation Lead to translate controls intent into functional test scripts and acceptance criteria. 
  • Support OEM controls reviews to ensure points are exposed, alarms are rationalized, and sequences match design intent. 
  • Drive integration readiness for remote monitoring, trending, and operator handoff (including commissioning support and turnover artifacts). 

Required Qualifications 

  • 5+ years controls engineering experience in mission critical or industrial systems. 
  • Demonstrated experience integrating packaged equipment controls into a coherent system. 
  • Strong ability to write clear sequences and convert mechanical intent into testable logic.
  • Experience with alarm rationalization and commissioning/startup support.
  • Comfort with controls networking and integration fundamentals (addressing, data exchange, segmentation basics, reliability considerations). 

Preferred Experience and Skills

  •  Direct experience with data center plant controls and/or modular infrastructure systems. 
  • Hands-on experience with protocols such as BACnet and Modbus (or equivalent). 
  • Prior exposure to functional performance testing and field bring-up (FAT/SAT/IST). 

Compensation

For U.S. Based candidates: To ensure fairness and transparency, the starting base salary range for this role for candidates in the U.S. are listed below, varying based on location experience, skills, and qualifications.

We use a geographic pay structure based on cost-of-labor markets. 

  • Tier 1 (e.g., SF Bay Area, NYC, Seattle): $130,830 - $163,530 
  • Tier 2 (most U.S. metro areas): $113,760 - $142,200 
  • Tier 3 (other cities): $108,080  - $135,090

Final compensation will be determined by experience, scope, and level, and may vary from the posted range. 

In addition to base salary, this role will also be offered equity and subsidized benefits (details available upon request).

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary and equity
  • Medical, dental, and vision (subsidized cost)
  • Health savings accounts (HSA), flexible spending accounts (FSA), and dependent care FSAs (DCFSA)
  • Retirement plan options, including 401(k) and Roth 401(k)
  • Unlimited paid time off (PTO)
  • 14 paid company holidays per year
