Resident Controls Engineer (PHX)

How We Operate

• Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.
• Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
• Reason from first principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.
• Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.
• Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

The Modular Team

The Modular team builds first-of-a-kind modular data centers on a production line, turning what is normally a construction project into a manufactured product.

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Engineer modular data center units that can be built, tested, and shipped from a factory line instead of assembled on site
• Prove out controls, sensors, and I/O on every unit before it leaves the floor, so commissioning in the field starts from a known-good baseline
• Close the loop between the manufacturing line and the design team, so wiring, logic, and BOM issues found at a station get engineered out of the next revision
• Compress the time from first article to repeatable production without losing configuration control

Role Scope

• Engineer and check out the controls of the modular product on the line, PLCs, BMS integration, sensors, and I/O, owning every point from panel to termination
• Live on the Phoenix manufacturing line: walk the floor daily, catch wiring and I/O issues at the station where they happen, and disposition them on the spot
• Run point-to-point checkout, loop checks, and first-article functional tests in person as units come down the line, with results documented well enough to stand behind at handoff
• Own real-time controls support for the factory: answer controls RFIs same-day from the floor and engineer fixes into the next revision, not a punch list
• Close the loop to design: feed what the line learns back into wiring diagrams, logic, and the BOM so the same defect never ships twice

What We're Looking for

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.

• You've engineered or commissioned controls systems hands-on: PLC, BMS, or industrial automation, from integrators, BMS contractors, or data center commissioning firms
• You've done point-to-point checkout and loop checks on real panels at volume, not just reviewed them on paper
• You've worked on a shop floor or production line, and dispositioning a nonconformance in the moment is familiar work, not an escalation
• You've supported production launches or startups of systems you helped build, and stayed until they ran
• You iterate fast without losing configuration control: when the drawing, the wiring, and the logic disagree, you can isolate which one is wrong and keep the line moving while it gets fixed
• You write the logic, then stand at the cabinet proving every point
• Bonus: PLC programming (Rockwell, Siemens), data center BMS platforms, panel and wiring diagram standards, or instrumentation depth

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
