Role SummaryThe Nlyte DCIM Consultant - NEO Specialist serves as the primary technical authority on Nlyte Energy Optimizer for Arganteal's clients. You will deploy, configure, optimize, and advise on NEO within enterprise and government data center environments, working across facilities, IT operations, and sustainability stakeholder groups to deliver measurable improvements in energy visibility, capacity planning, and operational efficiency.
Core Responsibilities- Deploy and configure Nlyte Energy Optimizer (NEO) in greenfield and brownfield data center environments, including protocol-based device polling, power chain modeling, and dashboard buildout.
- Document and map the full electrical power chain from utility feeds, generators, and batteries through switchgear, PDUs, and branch circuits to end devices.
- Establish real-time energy monitoring across power distribution and cooling infrastructure, including branch circuit monitoring and threshold alerting.
- Build and validate power failure simulations and redundancy models to identify single points of failure and support risk reduction planning.
- Deliver capacity planning analysis linking energy and power data to space, cooling, and infrastructure growth projections.
- Produce and tune standard and custom NEO reports for operational, finance, and sustainability audiences covering PUE, power usage, circuit utilization, device performance, and efficiency metrics.
- Integrate NEO with NAO (Nlyte Asset Optimizer), CMDB, ITSM, BMS, and virtualization platforms as required by engagement scope.
- Identify underutilized or misaligned power and cooling resources and deliver actionable optimization recommendations.
- Support colocation and multi-tenant environments including tenant-level energy visibility and SLA-aligned reporting.
- Provide advisory services to data center operations, facilities, IT leadership, finance, and sustainability stakeholders.
- Produce engagement documentation including runbooks, configuration records, data integrity standards, and as-built deliverables.
Required Qualifications- 3+ years of hands-on Nlyte Energy Optimizer (NEO) implementation and configuration experience in production data center environments.
- Demonstrated ability to build and maintain NEO power chain models from utility to end device, including AC and DC power documentation.
- Proficiency with NEO protocol-based polling (Modbus, SNMP, BACnet, and others) and hardware-agnostic device integration.
- Experience delivering NEO capacity planning, branch circuit monitoring, and power failure simulation deliverables.
- Working knowledge of data center power and cooling fundamentals: PUE, power density, redundancy tiers, CRAC/CRAH systems, and UPS configurations.
- Familiarity with Nlyte NAO (Asset Optimizer) and the relationship between energy data and asset lifecycle management.
- Strong documentation and reporting skills; able to produce client-ready deliverables for both technical and executive audiences.
- Experience working in enterprise, federal, or colocation data center environments.
Preferred Qualifications- Former Nlyte Software or Carrier professional services experience.
- Experience with NEO integrations to ServiceNow, BMC Remedy, or other ITSM/CMDB platforms.
- Familiarity with Nlyte BMS integrations (WebCtrl / Automated Logic, Johnson Controls, Siemens).
- Experience supporting DCOI (Data Center Optimization Initiative) compliance reporting for federal clients.
- Knowledge of ESG and sustainability reporting frameworks as applied to data center energy consumption.
- ITIL Foundation or equivalent service management certification.
- BICSI, CDCP, CDCS, or similar data center infrastructure credentials.
- Familiarity with Nlyte Intelligence, Placement and Optimization, or Nlyte Insight modules.
What Good Looks LikeThe right candidate has built Nlyte from the ground up in complex environments, not just administered it. You understand how an improperly modeled power chain undermines the entire DCIM environment. You have taken a client from spreadsheets and tribal knowledge to a live, accurate NEO deployment. You can walk a facilities team through branch circuit monitoring setup and walk a CFO through an energy cost reduction report in the same week. You know the difference between what NEO is capable of and what most clients have actually turned on.
