[Hiring] Principal Operational Technology, Telemetry and SCADA Engineer @NTT Global Data Centers

Role Description

The Principal Operational Technology, Telemetry and SCADA Engineer is the senior individual contributor responsible for engineering leadership, solution design, integration, implementation, commissioning, and lifecycle improvement of enterprise Operational Technology (OT), telemetry, and SCADA capabilities. The role translates business requirements, operational needs, architectural direction, and customer data requirements into secure, resilient, standardized, and globally scalable solutions that enable operational visibility and reliable delivery of operational data.

Reporting to the Director, Telemetry Engineering and Operations, this position works closely with the Senior Manager, Operational Technology Architecture and serves as the primary engineering counterpart for converting reference architectures, standards, and roadmaps into production-ready designs and supportable implementations. The role partners with Data Center Operations technical operations teams, Operational Data Platforms, facility engineering, construction teams, and vendors to support facility installations, expansions, retrofits, upgrades, commissioning, and modernization while maintaining clear separation from day-to-day facility operations.

Qualifications

• Deep knowledge of OT, telemetry, SCADA, industrial automation, systems integration, and operational data acquisition principles.
• Expert ability to convert business, operational, and customer requirements into practical engineering solutions and clearly communicate design decisions and trade-offs.
• Strong knowledge of Ignition SCADA, including gateway architecture, integration, alarming, historian, visualization, security, deployment, and lifecycle support.
• Working knowledge of Niagara Framework and BMS/EPMS platforms, with emphasis on integration, monitoring, supportability, and lifecycle improvement rather than facility operations.
• Strong knowledge of MQTT-based telemetry, cloud messaging, edge-to-cloud integration, API-based data delivery, and scalable operational data delivery patterns.
• Knowledge of Azure-based messaging, integration, IoT, identity, monitoring, and data services used to deliver operational or customer data.
• Strong knowledge of BACnet, Modbus, SNMP, and OPC UA.
• Knowledge of PLCs, gateways, sensors, field-device integration, electrical and mechanical monitoring systems, and commissioning practices.
• Knowledge of SQL-based platforms, historians, time-series data, telemetry modeling, normalization, quality management, and ingestion pipelines.
• Knowledge of OT/IT network architecture, segmentation, firewalls, routing, certificates, TLS, identity, and secure remote connectivity.
• Knowledge of resilient, observable, and supportable platform design for large-scale, multi-site deployments.
• Knowledge of data center infrastructure systems, including UPS, generators, cooling systems, PDUs, switchgear, and environmental monitoring.
• Knowledge of ISA-95, IEC 62443, defense-in-depth, least privilege, and OT cybersecurity principles.
• Strong technical leadership, consulting, facilitation, documentation, and stakeholder communication skills, with the ability to influence without direct authority.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, Industrial Automation, or a related technical discipline.
• 10+ years of progressively responsible experience designing, implementing, integrating, commissioning, and supporting OT, telemetry, SCADA, industrial automation, or related systems.
• Demonstrated experience serving as a principal or lead engineer for complex, multi-site OT or telemetry solutions in highly available or mission-critical environments.
• Hands-on experience deploying, configuring, integrating, or supporting Ignition SCADA or a comparable enterprise industrial platform.
• Experience developing solutions from business, operational, and customer data requirements, including evaluation of performance, reliability, security, scalability, supportability, and cost trade-offs.
• Experience integrating EPMS/BMS, industrial devices, SCADA platforms, messaging services, enterprise applications, cloud services, APIs, and operational data platforms.
• Experience working with data center or comparable technical operations teams during facility installations, retrofits, upgrades, commissioning, cutovers, and operational turnover.
• Experience producing solution designs, engineering diagrams, interface specifications, standards, implementation plans, test plans, commissioning procedures, and operational documentation.
• Experience leading technical reviews, proofs of concept, factory or site acceptance testing, operational readiness activities, modernization, and platform lifecycle initiatives.
• Experience troubleshooting multidisciplinary issues across field devices, protocols, networks, applications, databases, messaging services, and data pipelines.
• Experience mentoring engineers and influencing architecture, engineering, operations, security, vendors, construction teams, and business stakeholders without direct authority.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation based on experience, education, and location.
• Base salary for this position is: $169,300 – $253,200.
• Annual bonus eligibility based on individual and company performance.
• Paid time-off, medical, dental, and vision benefits.
• Life and supplemental insurance, short-term and long-term disability.
• Flexible spending account and 401k retirement plan.
• Monthly stipend for remote work expenses and personal mobile device use, if applicable.
