About the company
ON.energy is setting the standard for large load interconnection. ON’s patented AI UPS™ is a medium-voltage UPS that serves as a firewall, protecting the data center from the grid, and the grid from the data center. With multiple gigawatts currently under construction, we are enabling grid-safe data centers.
About the role
We’re looking for a Senior Controls Engineer with project-based engineering experience to lead network-and-controls-related hardware product design, documentation, project-specific technical compliance and support the development activities related to these products. This is a product focused role—we need someone who can speak fluently about both network architecture and industrial control systems, ideally have experience in mission critical applications, and interface with IT, software, project, commissioning and O&M engineering teams.
Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities:
•
Support the business development team by providing technical proposals e.g. network diagrams that meet the customer’s needs.
•
Collaborate across control systems, SCADA, and IT teams to ensure complete and secure connectivity
•
Integrate and support industrial protocols like Modbus, DNP3, and OPC-UA
•
Compile product technical information packages for the project engineering team.
•
Co-lead review and validation of network/controls product-related topics during the project execution phase.
•
Maintain technical documentation including as-built drawings
•
Support product development by capturing design improvement feedback from the different project phases: design, commissioning and O&M.
•
Support product development by recommending design approaches and vendors of the main equipment.
•
Participate in product design sprints with the development team.
•
Participate in the product’s commissioning phase.
Requirements
Required Experience
•
Bachelor’s degree in Controls Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or similar technical field.
•
8+ years of hands-on controls engineering experience in project-based or industrial settings.

Strong grasp of protocols (TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, VLANs, VPNs)
•
Familiarity with control systems and operational technology (OT)
•
Ability to produce and read network and control architecture drawings
•
Excellent communication skills across technical and non-technical teams.
•
Willing to travel up to 20% for product FAT inspection and site commissioning witnessing.
