Job summary

NTT Global Data Centers is seeking a Principal Operational Technology, Telemetry and SCADA Engineer to lead engineering design, integration, and lifecycle improvements for enterprise OT, telemetry, and SCADA across a global data-center portfolio.

The role translates business needs into secure, scalable designs, partnering with operations teams and vendors to deliver production-ready solutions while ensuring cybersecurity, availability, and operational readiness throughout the project lifecycle.

Qualifications

10+ years of progressively responsible experience designing, implementing, integrating, commissioning, and supporting OT, telemetry, SCADA, industrial automation, or related systems.
Demonstrated experience serving as a principal or lead engineer for complex, multi-site OT or telemetry solutions in highly available or mission-critical environments.
Hands-on experience deploying, configuring, integrating, or supporting Ignition SCADA or a comparable enterprise industrial platform.
Experience developing solutions from business, operational, and customer data requirements, including evaluation of performance, reliability, security, scalability, supportability, and cost trade-offs.

Responsibilities

Lead the engineering design, integration, implementation, commissioning, and lifecycle improvement of globally repeatable OT, telemetry, and SCADA solutions across multi-site data center environments.
Translate business requirements, operational needs, architectural direction, and customer data delivery requirements into solution designs, technical specifications, implementation plans, and acceptance criteria.
Serve as the principal engineering authority for complex telemetry initiatives, leading technical reviews, resolving cross-domain issues, and providing hands-on support for critical implementations and escalations.
Partner with the Senior Manager, Operational Technology Architecture to implement reference architectures, integration patterns, technology standards, security requirements, and modernization roadmaps.
Work with Data Center Operations technical operations teams to plan and support facility installations, expansions, retrofits, upgrades, platform refreshes, cutovers, commissioning, and operational turnover.
Coordinate with facility engineering, construction, vendors, and regional operations teams to ensure integrations meet defined standards, testing requirements, support models, and operational readiness criteria.
Develop end-to-end designs spanning field devices, EPMS/BMS platforms, industrial protocols, edge connectivity, Ignition SCADA, messaging services, operational data platforms, cloud services, APIs, and consuming applications.
Engineer and support secure edge-to-cloud telemetry and client data delivery patterns using Azure-based messaging and integration services.
Design and govern telemetry models, namespace and tag structures, alarming strategies, data normalization, quality indicators, buffering and delivery patterns, and integration interfaces.
Define engineering standards for availability, redundancy, monitoring, backup and recovery, capacity, patching, upgrades, certificate management, cybersecurity, and platform lifecycle management.
Lead technical evaluations, proofs of concept, factory and site acceptance testing, commissioning, operational readiness reviews, and production turnover activities.
Support the expansion of Ignition capabilities into BMS-related monitoring and integration use cases while maintaining Data Center Operations ownership of facility operation and control.
Evaluate design alternatives and commercial technologies across performance, availability, scalability, security, operational complexity, lifecycle supportability, delivery needs, and cost.
Troubleshoot failures involving facility-system interfaces, industrial networks, SCADA applications, messaging services, data pipelines, and enterprise or customer integrations, and drive durable corrective actions.
Create and maintain solution designs, engineering diagrams, interface specifications, configuration standards, test plans, commissioning procedures, runbooks, and technical decision records.
Mentor engineers, provide technical guidance, promote reusable engineering patterns, and improve the consistency and supportability of global telemetry implementations.
