Job description

SNIPEBRIDGE is a strategic talent solutions company specializing in connecting exceptional talent to great career opportunities. We work as an exclusive partner to leading AEC and technology organizations that are advancing the built environment through innovation, technical rigor, and transformative work.
COMPANY
Our client operates within the fast-moving data center and digital infrastructure sector, where engineering, construction, technology, energy, and operations come together to support always-on environments. Its multidisciplinary teams plan, design, deliver, and operate complex facilities with a strong focus on reliability, safety, scalability, and efficient use of power and cooling. The work calls for close coordination across technical disciplines and offers the opportunity to contribute to infrastructure that supports the continued growth of cloud computing, AI, and connected services.
THE OPPORTUNITY
The Senior Systems Design Engineer will define and coordinate the integrated systems that allow critical facilities to be monitored, controlled, protected, and operated reliably. The role sits between engineering disciplines and technology teams, translating performance requirements into clear architectures, interfaces, sequences, and verification plans.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Develop system architectures, basis-of-design documents, functional requirements, interface definitions, and technical specifications
  • Design and coordinate monitoring, controls, communications, security, low-voltage, or operational technology systems
  • Translate owner and operational requirements into scalable, supportable system solutions
  • Lead multidisciplinary design reviews, interface workshops, failure-mode reviews, and technical decisions
  • Evaluate vendor solutions, submittals, network diagrams, sequences, and integration approaches
  • Support prototyping, factory testing, field validation, commissioning, and operational handover
  • Resolve complex issues involving controls, networks, software, hardware, and facility systems
  • Mentor engineers and improve reusable design standards, documentation, and quality practices
Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related discipline
  • 7+ years of systems design, controls, operational technology, network, or critical-infrastructure experience
  • Strong understanding of system architecture, interfaces, redundancy, monitoring, cybersecurity, and lifecycle support
  • Experience with BMS, EPMS, DCIM, SCADA, industrial controls, networked systems, or comparable platforms
  • Ability to read and develop control diagrams, network diagrams, one-lines, sequences, and technical specifications
  • Professional Engineer license, systems certification, or manufacturer credentials preferred where relevant
  • Strong technical leadership, documentation, troubleshooting, and stakeholder-management skills

All applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship and must already possess long-term work authorization.
