Job summary

Giga Energy is seeking a SCADA and BMS Engineer to own and operate the in-house Ignition-based platform across multiple data center sites. You will design, implement, and maintain operator screens, historian data, alarms, dashboards, and reporting to ensure healthy site operations.

You will collaborate with network and security teams, integrate with DCIM, and help deploy standardized templates for rapid site rollouts, with travel to active sites and after-hours on-call support as needed.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience building and maintaining SCADA/HMI applications in Ignition or FactoryTalk, including tag structures, alarm configuration, historian, and operator screens.
• 5+ years designing, programming, and maintaining SCADA or BMS systems in data centers, industrial facilities, utilities, or mission-critical environments.
• Experience owning a SCADA system in production, not just deploying it: alarm tuning, historian management, backups, and troubleshooting live issues.
• Strong working knowledge of Modbus TCP, plus familiarity with BACnet and at least one of SNMP, OPC UA, DNP3, or IEC 61850.
• Ability to read mechanical and electrical drawings, one-lines, points lists, and sequences of operation.
• Understanding of data center mechanical/electrical infrastructure: cooling, UPS, generators, switchgear, redundancy.
• Willingness to travel to sites regularly.
• Bachelor's degree in electrical, mechanical, controls, or computer engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.

Responsibilities

• Own the design and architecture of the SCADA and BMS platform across the portfolio: Ignition environment, server/gateway topology, tag structures, naming standards, redundancy.
• Build and maintain operator screens, historian, trending, alarm configuration and rationalization, dashboards, and reporting.
• Create reusable visualization and tag templates on first site for deployment on subsequent sites.
• Integrate SCADA data with DCIM and other monitoring platforms.
• Work with network and security teams on OT/IT segmentation and remote access.
• Maintain production systems: updates, backups, configuration control, as-built docs, root cause analysis.
• Support testing at each site by validating points, alarms, and screens against installed hardware.
• Participate in on-call rotation for after-hours incident response.
• Write and maintain runbooks and standards to repeat deployment at new sites.
