SpaceXAI is seeking an exceptional Operational Technology (OT) Engineer to own the design, implementation, optimization, and long-term reliability of industrial control and monitoring systems across our next-generation hyperscale data center campuses and co-located power generation facilities. You will architect and deliver resilient OT infrastructure supporting BMS, EPMS, SCADA, PLC, and related OT systems capable of supporting ultra-dense AI compute loads, massive power infrastructure, and aggressive deployment timelines that redefine industry standards. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role for an exceptional engineer who thrives in fast-paced, technically demanding environments. You will combine deep expertise in industrial automation, control systems, and mission-critical in
Own end-to-end OT critical infrastructure design, programming, configuration, commissioning, sustainment, and ongoing optimization. Deliver high availability OT infrastructure for critical hyperscale cooling & power control systems, including datacenter facility networks (MDFs/IDFs), industrial control networks (PLCs, turbines, etc.), and server rooms with switches/hosts/virtualization.Provide on-call network infrastructure support for BMS, EPMS, SCADA, PLC, and related systems (connectivity, addressing, protocol transport, troubleshooting at Layers 1–3/4).
Hands-on design and sustainment of Juniper fiber/copper networks in OT/facility environments (EX/QFX series preferred), including segmentation, VRFs, and integration with industrial control networks.
Design, implement, and secure OT networks and communications (BACnet, Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, Ethernet/IP, and related protocols) while driving robust segmentation, monitoring, and cybersecurity practices.
Drive cross-functional multidisciplinary coordination with mechanical, electrical, structural, facilities operations, IT/OT networking, and construction teams to ensure seamless integration of control systems with overall campus infrastructure.
Perform advanced troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement of OT systems to maximize availability, and operational resilience.
Deliver rapid, high-quality responses to field issues, design reviews, RFIs, and operational needs while maintaining rigorous documentation, change control, and design intent.
Identify and implement innovative solutions in industrial automation, advanced monitoring, predictive analytics readiness, and standardized control architectures to support SpaceXAI’s aggressive growth trajectory.
Mentor junior engineers and technicians and contribute to the continuous improvement of SpaceXAI’s OT design standards, programming standards, and best practices for mission-critical facilities.

Требования

Bachelor’s degree in Controls Engineering, Automation Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).

Будет плюсом

5+ years of progressive, high-quality hands-on experience as a Controls / OT / Automation Engineer on data centers, semiconductor fabs, power plants, heavy industrial, or other mission-critical facilities.
