Controls Design Engineer

Key Accountabilities

• Partner with operation teams, DCIT, InCommand and 3rd party vendors to develop and publish design standards and specifications, technical roadmaps and runbooks for the deployment of secure IoT telemetry data link solutions at new and existing data centers that will support telemetry transport of API, MQTT, SMTP, SNMP and other protocols for ServerFarm and customers’ service level agreements (SLA).
• Create the telemetry plans for the delivery of low-latency and secure telemetry data using ServerFarm’s engineered datalink architectures using industry standards and best practices. Provide QA/QC oversight of hardware and software installations, reviewing proposals and programming through the build, testing and deployment process.
• Lead pilot programs and oversee innovation rollout with stakeholder input.  Develop plans for base configuration programming, mapping and integration of new solutions and features to leverage available telemetry and automation for wider implementation of standardization across the global data center portfolio.
• Diagnose, repair and optimize telemetry datalink issues and have ability to test and write modifications in multiple system software languages and operating systems.
• Author scopes of work and technical whitepapers for review, approval and implementation.
• Define requirements for Internet of Things (IoT) gateway solutions.  Engage with internal stakeholders and vendors to ensure solutions are defined, configured and successfully delivered.

Required Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer applications, network architecture or commensurate industry experience or military experience in lieu of degree may be acceptable.
