Resident Controls Engineer (PHX)
Phoenix, AZ$164k - $264kFull-timePosted 2mo ago
About the role
Role focused on engineering and commissioning controls for modular data centers on the Phoenix manufacturing line, owning PLC/BMS integration, sensors, and I/O from panel to termination, with on-floor responsibility for rapid issue disposition and real-time factory support.
Responsibilities
- 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
Qualifications
- 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
