• Design and coordinate monitoring, controls, communications, security, low-voltage, or operational technology systems
• Translate owner and operational requirements into scalable, supportable system solutions
• Lead multidisciplinary design reviews, interface workshops, failure-mode reviews, and technical decisions
• Evaluate vendor solutions, submittals, network diagrams, sequences, and integration approaches
• Support prototyping, factory testing, field validation, commissioning, and operational handover
• Resolve complex issues involving controls, networks, software, hardware, and facility systems
• Mentor engineers and improve reusable design standards, documentation, and quality practices

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related discipline
• 7+ years of systems design, controls, operational technology, network, or critical-infrastructure experience
• Strong understanding of system architecture, interfaces, redundancy, monitoring, cybersecurity, and lifecycle support
• Experience with BMS, EPMS, DCIM, SCADA, industrial controls, networked systems, or comparable platforms
• Ability to read and develop control diagrams, network diagrams, one-lines, sequences, and technical specifications
