Controls Integration Engineer

Armada is a full-stack edge infrastructure company delivering compute, connectivity, and sovereign AI/ML to some of the world’s most remote places. The Controls Integration Engineer will own the controls layer for Modular Data Center, ensuring operability and integration readiness across packaged equipment and site systems.

Responsibilities:

• Create and maintain the controls package: points list, alarm matrix, sequences of operation (SoO), and trend/log requirements
• Define required setpoints, modes, permissives/interlocks, and operational states so behavior is predictable across variants
• Define the integration approach for packaged equipment and site systems using common controls protocols and clear interface specifications
• Standardize naming/tagging conventions and data models so every build looks the same to operators and monitoring systems
• Own the controls interface baseline (versioning, change control, and impact assessments when packages change)
• Design and validate fault responses (power events, loss of flow, sensor faults, high temperature conditions, equipment trips)
• Ensure alarms are meaningful (actionable, prioritized, and not noisy) and tied to operational intent
• Partner with the CxA/Field Validation Lead to translate controls intent into functional test scripts and acceptance criteria
• Support OEM controls reviews to ensure points are exposed, alarms are rationalized, and sequences match design intent
• Drive integration readiness for remote monitoring, trending, and operator handoff (including commissioning support and turnover artifacts)

Requirements:

• 5+ years controls engineering experience in mission critical or industrial systems
• Demonstrated experience integrating packaged equipment controls into a coherent system
• Strong ability to write clear sequences and convert mechanical intent into testable logic
• Experience with alarm rationalization and commissioning/startup support
• Comfort with controls networking and integration fundamentals (addressing, data exchange, segmentation basics, reliability considerations)
• Direct experience with data center plant controls and/or modular infrastructure systems
• Hands-on experience with protocols such as BACnet and Modbus (or equivalent)
• Prior exposure to functional performance testing and field bring-up (FAT/SAT/IST)
