Senior I&C Design Engineer

Department: Engineering

Location: Remote, USA

Employment Type: FullTime

What you’ll do

We're building data center sites on tight schedules, and everything starts with the drawings. As Senior I&C Design Engineer, you will produce our site-level I&C drawings: drawings a contractor can install from without calling us, and the programmer can write code from without guessing.

Speed matters more than anything here. Scope changes, equipment changes and site conditions change, and you'll need to adapt and turn drawings around fast without dropping quality.

Where you’ll work

This role is ideally based in our San Francisco, Long Beach, or Houston offices, with full-time onsite expectations outside of bi-weekly WFH Fridays.

That said, we will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent if you live outside one of our hubs. If you're the right person for this role, we'll have a conversation about what works.

Responsibilities

• Site and install drawings. Produce site-level and installation-ready I&C drawings fast: control panel layouts, schematics, wiring and interconnection diagrams, loop diagrams, instrument location plans, installation details, and conduit and cable schedules.

• Install-ready packages. Drawings and packages are clear enough that contractors install right the first time, with minimal RFIs. Write the scope of work and installation package that goes with them.

• Code-ready documentation. IO lists, instrument lists, tags and points lists the programmers can code from directly.

• Site I&C design. Own I&C design for your sites: chiller plant, pumps, CRAHs/AHUs, CDU interfaces and power monitoring points.

• P&IDs. Read and develop P&IDs IDs for Site level Facility chiller water loop, and interface it with product level PID drawings.

• Instruments. Select and spec flow meters, transmitters, sensors and analyzers. Size control valves and primary elements. Write datasheets and calcs.

• Mechanical coordination. Work with the mechanical and pipe sizing team to finalize process conditions, instrument specs and model selection.

• Panel power. Design low voltage power distribution for control panels and instruments.

• Submittals and RFIs. Review contractor and vendor submittals and answer RFIs quickly.

• Field support. Support design fixes on site and update as-builts with the Field Cx Lead.

• Standards. Build reusable templates and typicals so each new site goes faster than the last.

Requirements

• 5+ years in I&C design and documentation for building and industrial control systems: instrumentation, control logic, PLC and SCADA.

• A track record of producing site-level and installation-ready drawing packages that contractors built from.

• Has produced the full I&C package: datasheets, loop diagrams, wiring diagrams, instrument lists, IO lists, location plans and installation details.

• Instrument selection, specs and control valve sizing.

• Strong CAD skills. AutoCAD or Revit preferred, EPLAN is OK.

• Works fast and adapts quickly when scope or site conditions change.

• First principles thinker. Works problems from the basics and simplifies design.

• Engineering degree, Electrical or Mechanical preferred. Any engineering degree is OK.

• Willing to travel around 20-40%.

Bonus points

• Data center or mission critical experience.

• Oil and gas experience.
