About the role
- Reporting to the CTO, you will be responsible for the "eyes and ears" of the data center, ensuring that our operators and RL agents have a real-time, high-fidelity view of gigawatts of mission-critical assets.
- You will bridge the gap between traditional Operational Technology (OT) and modern software, crafting sophisticated HMIs and validating control logic that allows us to safely orchestrate cooling, power, and compute systems at scale.
Responsibilities
- SCADA Architecture & Design: Design and implement scalable SCADA systems (using modern platforms like Ignition or custom solutions) to visualize real-time telemetry from data center assets including UPS, chillers, and switchgear.
- HMI Development: Build intuitive, high-performance Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) that provide operators with critical situational awareness and visibility into the actions taken by our RL Control Agents.
- OT/IT Integration: Collaborate with Connector & Integration Engineers to map physical I/O points to software tags, ensuring seamless data flow from PLCs and RTUs into the Hammerhead platform.
