Original job description

About the Team

OpenAI, in close collaboration with our capital and delivery partners, is building the infrastructure required to support frontier AI systems. The Data Center Engineering team defines repeatable technical standards and carries them through design, construction, commissioning, and operational readiness. The team works across data center facilities, power generation, compute infrastructure, construction, procurement, and operations to deliver reliable capacity at unprecedented scale and speed.

About the Role

We are seeking a Controls Engineer to design and integrate automation systems for on-site power generation serving large AI data center campuses. You will own control architecture and functional requirements across generation packages, balance-of-plant systems, electrical protection, microgrid controls, and data center monitoring. You will work from concept through factory testing, site commissioning, performance validation, and operational improvement.

Role focus: Control-system architecture, integration, and commissioning for on-site generation

Travel: 50%

Responsibilities

Define control-system architecture, functional design specifications, sequences of operation, cause-and-effect matrices, alarm philosophy, and interface requirements.
Integrate OEM controls, PLCs, DCS, SCADA, historian, microgrid controllers, protection systems, and data center BMS or EPMS platforms.
Develop and review I/O lists, network architecture, control narratives, graphics, alarm limits, interlocks, permissives, and fail-safe behavior.
Coordinate synchronization, load sharing, islanding, black start, load shedding, restoration, and generation-to-data-center operating modes.
Evaluate cybersecurity, redundancy, time synchronization, communications protocols, data quality, and remote-support requirements.
Lead or support software reviews, simulator testing, factory acceptance testing, site acceptance testing, commissioning, and tuning.
Troubleshoot control-system and plant-performance issues and convert findings into corrective actions and reusable standards.
Partner with electrical, mechanical, CSA, IT, security, operations, OEM, EPC, and data center controls teams.

QUALIFICATIONS

8+ years of controls, automation, or instrumentation engineering experience in power generation, industrial plants, utilities, or mission-critical infrastructure.
Strong experience with PLC, DCS, SCADA, historian, industrial-networking, and control-system integration.
Knowledge of generation controls, synchronization, load sharing, protective interfaces, process control, and safety interlocks.
Experience developing functional specifications, sequences, I/O, alarms, graphics, and factory or site test procedures.
Ability to troubleshoot across software, instrumentation, electrical, mechanical, communications, and operating-process boundaries.
Understanding of industrial cybersecurity, redundancy, failover, and change-control practices.
Bachelor's degree in controls, electrical, mechanical, chemical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field.

Preferred Skills

Experience with major turbine or reciprocating-engine control platforms and microgrid controllers.
Experience with IEC 61850, Modbus, OPC UA, DNP3, EtherNet/IP, or comparable industrial protocols.
Experience integrating generation controls with BMS, EPMS, DCIM, or utility systems.
Professional Engineer license, functional-safety training, or industrial-cybersecurity certification.
