Instrumentation and Controls Engineer II, Deployment

Crusoe•Amarillo, TX

1d•$105,000 - $115,000•Onsite

About The Position

The Engineer II (I&C) executes and supports the health of both Building Management Systems (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS) within mission-critical environments. Reporting to the Site Controls Lead or a Senior I&C Engineer, this role sits at the level where task execution transitions into project ownership: you'll lead small-scale projects within a building, support the delivery of full systems across a campus, and grow your technical and soft-skill capabilities under the guidance of Senior Engineers. This role spans both the mechanical controls domain (HVAC automation, mechanical monitoring, and the environmental conditions required for high-density compute) and the electrical monitoring domain (power quality monitoring, energy metering, and electrical asset integration that support PUE tracking and electrical fault analysis), with growing autonomy to own tasks and contribute to system delivery under senior guidance on both fronts.

Requirements

3 to 5 years of experience in Instrumentation & Controls or Electrical Engineering, with exposure to Building Automation/Management Systems and/or Power Monitoring/SCADA systems in data centers or large-scale industrial facilities.
Comprehensive understanding of MEP systems technical documentation and building engineering drawings, including Mechanical P&IDs, Floor Plans, Sequence of Operations (SOO)/Functional Testing scripts, Electrical One-Lines (SLD), Wiring Diagrams (CT/PT circuits and communication wiring), Points Lists (Modbus registers, etc.), and MEP asset documentation (leak detection, UPS status, generator run-times).
A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Systems Engineering (or equivalent technical field experience).
Working knowledge of HVAC sequences (Chilled Water, DX, Evaporative Cooling) and control hardware, as well as power monitoring hardware such as protection relays, circuit breaker trip units, and gateway devices.
Familiarity with Modbus (RTU and TCP/IP), MQTT, and DNP3 within a mission-critical environment.
Experience with multiple PLC platforms (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, etc.) as well as Ignition for SCADA.
A demonstrated ability to lead small-scale projects and tasks within a building, with growing autonomy and a track record of collaborating effectively with Senior Engineers on process improvements.
Ability to operate with moderate supervision while knowing when to escalate complex or cross-building issues.

Nice To Haves

Hands-on exposure to both BMS and EPMS disciplines, rather than just one, since this role spans mechanical controls and electrical power monitoring.
Familiarity with Ignition SCADA (Perspective) integration.
Experience with mechanical assets (CRAH units, chillers) and electrical assets (UPS systems, generators, STS, LV/MV switchgear) in the same environment.
Prior exposure to commissioning processes (L3 to L5) in a data center or mission-critical facility.
Experience contributing to Root Cause Analysis (RCA) writeups or formal technical reporting for internal stakeholders or clients.

Responsibilities

Lead small-scale projects within a building, such as BMS subsystem retrofits, minor mechanical controls upgrades, or EPMS hardware/software deployments for a specific data hall or electrical room (e.g., integrating new PDU lineups, RPPs, or sensor packages).
Identify gaps and inefficiencies, including suboptimal BMS logic, dark spots in power monitoring, or latency issues in data polling, and collaborate with Senior Engineers to design and implement fixes (e.g., optimizing Modbus TCP scan rates and database logging).
Support delivery of full BMS and EPMS systems across different buildings on a campus, alongside peers and Senior Engineers, ensuring seamless data flow from CRAH units, chillers, switchgear, UPS, and generators to central monitoring stations.
Support commissioning (L3 to L5) of mechanical and electrical systems, helping confirm that field sensors and controllers align with the Sequence of Operations (SOO), and that meter readings in the field match EPMS head-end graphics and reporting tools.
Support resolution of complex onsite technical issues, such as unstable PID loops, hunting valves, BACnet communication bottlenecks, RS-485 daisy-chain breaks, IP address conflicts, or incorrect CT ratios causing inaccurate power readings.
Participate in technical discussions with mechanical and electrical trade partners and equipment manufacturers (CRAH/chillers, Schneider, Eaton, ABB, etc.) to help resolve field and system integration gaps between third-party controllers and BMS/EPMS platforms.
Establish and maintain trust-based relationships with trade partners onsite, including mechanical and electrical contractors, TAB vendors, controls integrators, and commissioning agents.
Build your own technical and soft skills, including growing mastery of control logic, PID tuning, mechanical and electrical theory, plus technical writing for Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and cross-functional MEP coordination.
