Job description


Position Summary
The Controls Application Engineer supports the AMER DX / CW / EDGE product line by acting as the primary interface between customers, sales engineering, and the global Application team. The role focuses on ingesting AMER-specific requirements into the software application layer - generating ETO (Engineer-to-Order) configurations, creating Sequences of Operation (SOO) by request, and translating regional needs into Kanban initiatives for execution over global baselines.
Responsibilities
Customer & Sales Support
  • Serve as the technical controls interface for AMER Sales Engineering and customers on PA product applications
  • Respond to pre-sales technical inquiries regarding controls capabilities, communication protocols, BMS integration, and custom sequences
  • Support bid/proposal activities with controls-specific technical content, SOO documentation, and application feasibility assessments
  • Provide post-sales application support including commissioning guidance, controls configuration clarification, and field issue triage
  • Interface with AMER Service for escalation resolution and field feedback loop

ETO Application Generation & SOO Creation
  • Generate ETO software application variants based on customer-specific requirements (custom sequences, protocol configurations, I/O mapping, setpoint strategies)
  • Create and maintain Sequences of Operation (SOO) documentation per customer/project request, ensuring alignment with the delivered application
  • Validate ETO requests against platform capabilities and global baseline constraints
  • Maintain ETO backlog visibility and delivery timelines in coordination with the Application team

Requirements Ingestion & Kanban Execution
  • Capture recurring AMER market/customer requirements and translate them into structured Kanban initiatives for regional execution over the global PA baseline
  • Distinguish between one-off ETO customizations and requirements warranting baseline integration
  • Prioritize and groom the AMER PA Kanban backlog in collaboration with the Regional Controls Leader and Product Line
  • Ensure traceability from customer/market request → Kanban card → implemented feature → validated release
  • Participate in Kanban cadences (replenishment, delivery planning) to maintain flow and predictability

Cross-Functional Coordination
  • Collaborate with the global Application team (EMEA) to ensure AMER regional initiatives integrate cleanly into the global PA baseline
  • Interface with Product Management on feature prioritization and roadmap alignment
  • Coordinate with Quality/Regulatory on documentation requirements for AMER-specific variants
  • Support CRA compliance activities where AMER-manufactured PA units are destined for EU market

Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
  • 3-5 years of experience in HVAC controls application engineering, preferably precision cooling/data center environments
  • Experience generating ETO configurations or custom application variants for thermal/HVAC products
  • Proficiency in structured text (IEC 61131-3) and/or C/C++
  • Familiarity with BMS protocols (Modbus, BACnet, SNMP) and system integration
  • Ability to create clear, customer-facing Sequences of Operation documentation
  • Strong customer-facing communication skills - able to translate technical controls concepts for non-controls audiences
  • US work authorization required

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with Kanban/Agile delivery methodologies in an engineering context
  • Knowledge of precision air conditioning systems and data center thermal management
  • Familiarity with Vertiv controller platforms or equivalent
  • Experience supporting sales engineering teams in a technical pre-sales capacity
  • Understanding of UL, ASHRAE, and NIST frameworks relevant to data center cooling
  • Prior experience in a global, matrixed engineering organization

Key Competencies
  • Customer Orientation - Understands customer/sales urgency and delivers actionable technical support with appropriate responsiveness
  • Requirements Translation - Converts customer requests and market signals into structured, executable Kanban initiatives
  • ETO Discipline - Manages custom application delivery with rigor, balancing speed with baseline integrity
  • Global-Local Balance - Injects AMER needs into the global baseline without fragmentation
  • Communication - Bridges the gap between controls engineering depth and customer/sales accessibility
