Job Overview by Ladders

Qualifications

  • 5-7 years experience in engineering or commissioning control systems like PLCs and BMS.
  • Hands-on experience with point-to-point checkout on live panels in a production setting.
  • Familiarity with production line operations and on-the-spot resolution of nonconformities.
  • Experience supporting system launches from initial build to operational status.
  • Ability to rapidly iterate and maintain control while addressing discrepancies in design documentation.
  • Expertise in writing logic and validating it on-site with panel checks.
  • Bonus: Information on PLC programming languages, specific manufacturer platforms and panel standards.

Responsibilities

  • Engineer and oversee controls for modular products on the manufacturing line.
  • Daily presence on the manufacturing floor to directly address wiring and I/O issues.
  • Conduct point-to-point checks and functional tests on units as they progress down the line.
  • Provide real-time support for controls and respond to inquiries from the floor the same day.
  • Integrate on-the-floor learnings back into design processes to prevent recurrence of defects.

Benefits

  • Commitment to pay equity and transparency.
Full Job Description
The Modular Team

The Modular team builds first-of-a-kind modular data centers on a production line, turning what is normally a construction project into a manufactured product.

Examples of key problems the team is working on:
  • Engineer modular data center units that can be built, tested, and shipped from a factory line instead of assembled on site
  • Prove out controls, sensors, and I/O on every unit before it leaves the floor, so commissioning in the field starts from a known-good baseline
  • Close the loop between the manufacturing line and the design team, so wiring, logic, and BOM issues found at a station get engineered out of the next revision
  • Compress the time from first article to repeatable production without losing configuration control
Role Scope
  • Engineer and check out the controls of the modular product on the line, PLCs, BMS integration, sensors, and I/O, owning every point from panel to termination
  • Live on the Phoenix manufacturing line: walk the floor daily, catch wiring and I/O issues at the station where they happen, and disposition them on the spot
  • Run point-to-point checkout, loop checks, and first-article functional tests in person as units come down the line, with results documented well enough to stand behind at handoff
  • Own real-time controls support for the factory: answer controls RFIs same-day from the floor and engineer fixes into the next revision, not a punch list
  • Close the loop to design: feed what the line learns back into wiring diagrams, logic, and the BOM so the same defect never ships twice
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've engineered or commissioned controls systems hands-on: PLC, BMS, or industrial automation, from integrators, BMS contractors, or data center commissioning firms
  • You've done point-to-point checkout and loop checks on real panels at volume, not just reviewed them on paper
  • You've worked on a shop floor or production line, and dispositioning a nonconformance in the moment is familiar work, not an escalation
  • You've supported production launches or startups of systems you helped build, and stayed until they ran
  • You iterate fast without losing configuration control: when the drawing, the wiring, and the logic disagree, you can isolate which one is wrong and keep the line moving while it gets fixed
  • You write the logic, then stand at the cabinet proving every point
  • Bonus: PLC programming (Rockwell, Siemens), data center BMS platforms, panel and wiring diagram standards, or instrumentation depth


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
