Job Overview by Ladders

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering, or related field.
  • Experience deploying and commissioning control systems in industrial or mission-critical facilities.
  • Hands-on accountability for live system startup and acceptance during commissioning.
  • Proficient in programming and configuring PLCs, SCADA, or HMI systems on major platforms (e.g., Rockwell, Siemens).
  • Independent troubleshooting of control system integration failures during active commissioning.
  • Willingness to travel to deployment and operations sites up to 50 percent of the time.

Responsibilities

  • Deploy and commission BMS, SCADA, and EPMS systems at data center sites.
  • Run FAT, field integration, loop checks, sequence verification, and acceptance testing through to live handover.
  • Support operational reliability of deployed control systems, addressing alerts and failures.
  • Resolve integration issues between control systems and mechanical/electrical systems during commissioning.
  • Configure and verify control sequences, alarm setpoints, and data historian integrations.
  • Contribute to commissioning checklists, acceptance test procedures, and runbooks for future deployments.

Benefits

  • Equity in the form of stock options.
  • Commitment to pay equity and transparency.
Full Job Description
The Deployment Engineering Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on
  • Turn 50GW+ of design into 50GW+ of built, running infrastructure. The Design team sets the blueprint. This team is where it survives contact with a live construction schedule and becomes a real site.
  • Close the gap between engineering-complete and operations-ready. A design that passes review still has to survive commissioning, integration, and energization, and that gap is where deployment work lives.
  • Make the tenth site faster and cleaner than the first. Every deployment feeds field learnings back into the standards, so a one-off fight at one site becomes a repeatable playbook at the next.
  • Hand off infrastructure that's reliable from the moment it goes live. AI compute workloads don't tolerate a shaky handover, so what this team commissions has to run right the day operations takes over.


Role Scope
  • 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 that prevent recurrence.
  • Resolve field integration issues between control system layers and connected mechanical and electrical systems during commissioning, escalating with a clear problem description and proposed fix.
  • 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.


What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You hold a bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering, or a related field.
  • You've deployed and commissioned control systems on industrial or mission-critical facilities with hands-on accountability for live system startup and acceptance.
  • You've programmed and configured PLCs, SCADA, or HMI systems on at least one major platform (Rockwell, Siemens, Ignition, or equivalent).
  • You've troubleshot control system integration failures and loop errors independently during active commissioning.
  • You can travel to deployment and operations sites up to 50 percent of the time.
  • Bonus: 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.


Compensation: $200,000 - $250,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. Offers equity in the form of stock options.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
