- Technical Leadership Internally & With Customers: Serve as subject matter expert on SCADA systems within cross-functional engineering teams and in conversations with technical experts from customer organizations
- Commissioning and Testing: Support commissioning of SCADA systems across multiple sites, including factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), and field-level troubleshooting and validation
- Reliability and Automation: Engineer and implement automation strategies to improve system resilience, uptime, and energy efficiency. Leverage SCADA for predictive maintenance, fault detection, and alarming
- Power System Analytics Enablement: Partner with analytics teams to collect and analyze high-resolution operational data from SCADA systems. Support initiatives around load forecasting, fault response, and microgrid optimization using tools such as ETAP, PSCAD, or equivalent
- Continuous Improvement: Stay informed on emerging SCADA technologies, industrial protocols (DNP3, CAN, IEC 61850, Modbus), and best practices in data center automation
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with project managers, electrical engineers, controls vendors, and clients to ensure alignment on system functionality, integration timelines, and operational performance
- Collaborate across Engineering Teams and Partners on System Integration: Collaborate with power systems engineers and other technical experts to ensure SCADA architectures properly integrate specific generation and energy storage equipment, including renewable generation systems; ensure coordination between HV/MV/LV equipment; and ensure integration with remote monitoring platforms.
- Supervise Expert Partner Organizations to Deliver Data Center Projects: Help establish and grow partnerships with, and supervise the work of, external firms that Scale hires to design, build, test, install, commission, and operate complex SCADA and Energy Management systems that incorporate redundant generation, energy storage, protection, and switching systems.
- Perform SCADA System Architecture and Design Work: Develop architectures for, create preliminary designs and outlines for, complex SCADA systems, including communications networking, Sequence of Operations, PLC and relay programming, and HMIs.
- Documentation and Compliance: Review and approve control diagrams, network topologies, point lists, and operational procedures. Ensure adherence to cybersecurity best practices and industry standards, such as NERC CIP, in all designs and deployments.
