Senior LevelCirrusLabs is seeking a Senior Ignition SCADA Engineer to design and deploy a power and energy monitoring platform for hyperscale and colocation data centers. The role involves creating standardized Ignition applications for real-time monitoring of electrical infrastructure and ensuring consistent deployment across multiple sites.
Information TechnologySoftwareInformation Services
Responsibilities
Design the SCADA architecture for data center electrical infrastructure — power distribution, UPS, diesel gens, BESS, switchgear, and transformer/grid metering
Build standardized, reusable Ignition applications (UDTs, templates, Perspective views) so a site design replicates to new facilities with minimal rework
Develop real-time monitoring screens (Perspective/Vision) showing power flows, equipment status, alarms, and trends across the full electrical chain
Configure data acquisition from PLCs, power meters, BMS, and protection relays over OPC-UA, Modbus, and MQTT/Sparkplug B
Design alarming and event logic to flag power anomalies (surges, transfer events, battery/genset state) before they damage equipment
Build the deployment pipeline so validated designs roll out to multiple sites consistently — gateway configuration, tag standardization, version control
Produce the design and model documentation (one-lines, I/O lists, tag schemas, network architecture) required before commissioning
Support commissioning, site acceptance testing, and ongoing optimization across deployed sites
Qualification
Required
Deep, hands-on production experience with Inductive Automation Ignition — Perspective and/or Vision, UDTs, transaction groups, alarm pipelines, gateway architecture, and the tag system
Industrial controls / PLC background — programming and integrating PLCs in a real environment
Real experience with electrical power systems: UPS, diesel generators, BESS, switchgear, transformers, and grid/utility interfaces
Industrial protocols: OPC-UA, Modbus TCP/RTU, MQTT Sparkplug B; comfort designing a Unified Namespace
SCADA/EMS design from scratch — architecture, redundancy, historian, and network segmentation
Ability to standardize and templatize so designs deploy repeatably across sites
Preferred
Direct data center experience (hyperscale or colo), or transferable critical-facility experience (utility, large industrial, microgrid/energy storage)
Familiarity with data center electrical topology, redundancy (N+1, 2N), and how a power event propagates through the chain
Multi-site / fleet deployment experience
Ignition certification (Core / Gold)
Python (Ignition's Jython) scripting for custom logic and deployment automation
