About the role
We are seeking hands-on, early-career controls engineers with practical experience in building management systems (BMS) and mechanical controls, or electrical power monitoring systems (EPMS) and electrical controls. This role focuses on implementing and commissioning control systems, including PLCs, field devices, instrumentation, and sequences of operation, rather than owning OT/IT network or cybersecurity architecture. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Practical hands-on experience programming, configuring, integrating, or commissioning control systems in data centers, industrial automation, buildings, or other critical infrastructure environments
- Working knowledge of PLC programming and control logic, with the ability to implement and troubleshoot sequences of operation
- Experience in either BMS/mechanical controls or EPMS/electrical controls, with an understanding of the equipment and operating sequences in that discipline
- Experience configuring field devices and instrumentation, validating I/O and point mapping, and diagnosing control system behavior
- Working knowledge of relevant industrial communication protocols and basic OT networking needed to connect and troubleshoot control systems
- Ability to read control diagrams, equipment documentation, I/O lists, and functional specifications, and keep implementation records accurate
