Global Controls GPU Network and Facilities Operations Lead
The Global Controls, GPU Network, and Facilities Operations Lead is a senior technical contributor who supports the integration of controls systems, GPU network operations, and facilities operations across Nscale’s AI data centre portfolio. The role serves as a technical point of contact within a global team of subject-matter experts and works closely with Engineering, Construction, Commissioning, Operations, Controls, Networking, Security, OEMs, and external partners.
The lead provides technical guidance, reviews designs and operational requirements, coordinates specialist input across disciplines, and identifies integration risks. The role does not act as the single technical authority or sole point of contact. Accountable functional owners and Nscale governance processes retain final decision-making authority for their respective systems and programs.
The role supports the development and consistent application of engineering standards, operational readiness practices, telemetry and observability approaches, and high-density AI data centre deployment methods. It contributes practical expertise across controls, facility infrastructure, GPU networking interfaces, commissioning, and operations.
What You’ll be Doing
Global Technical Coordination and Standards
- Act as a technical point of contact for assigned projects, workstreams, and stakeholders, coordinating with other designated technical points of contact and relevant global SMEs
- Contribute specialist input to global strategies, reference architectures, and standards for controls systems, GPU network operations interfaces, NOC/FOC integration, and facilities readiness
- Support the development and application of repeatable AI data centre deployment approaches, including modular and distributed-compute environments
- Identify cross-functional risks, dependencies, and opportunities for improvement, and escalate material matters to the appropriate accountable functional owner
Controls Engineering and Commissioning Support
- Provide SME review and technical support for the design, deployment, and lifecycle governance of electrical controls, BMS, EPMS, SCADA, and PLC/RTU architectures
- Support the development and implementation of controls commissioning strategies for high-density AI facilities in partnership with project commissioning leads and system owners
- Provide technical input to electrical design reviews, failure mode analysis, system integration, functional performance criteria, and corrective-action planning
- Coordinate with global controls, network, and cybersecurity SMEs to ensure solutions align with approved standards and operating practices
GPU Network and NOC Integration
- Serve as a technical interface between facility controls, telemetry, operations, and GPU network teams to support integrated monitoring, observability, and response practices
- Support reviews of GPU fabric, fiber, and high-bandwidth interconnect requirements where they interface with data centre infrastructure, telemetry, and operational readiness
- Contribute to NOC observability, telemetry, and responsiveness requirements in collaboration with accountable GPU network and NOC owners
- Help identify facility-to-compute dependencies that affect GPU training and inference workloads, including power, cooling, alarm, and operating-envelope information
Facilities Operations and FOC Support
- Support FOC and site operations stakeholders with controls, telemetry, power, cooling, and critical-environment integration requirement
- Contribute technical input to operational-readiness reviews, MOP/SOP/EOP governance, incident response practices, and resiliency standards
- Assist in harmonizing controls and facilities operational practices across global data center sites, including modular mechanical and electrical systems, immersion cooling platforms, and high-density electrical distribution
Data Centre Deployment and AI Factory Programs
- Support the integration of electrical, mechanical, controls, facilities operations, and GPU networking requirements into standardized deployment templates
- Provide technical SME support to owner’s engineering, design, construction, and commissioning teams for high-density AI data centre programs
- Review technical compliance, constructability, systems integration, and commissioning readiness within the role’s assigned workstreams
Stakeholder Management and Knowledge Sharing
- Coordinate with internal stakeholders, customers, utilities, OEMs, vendors, consultants, and regulatory bodies as appropriate to assigned workstreams
- Provide clear technical communication on risks, design decisions, dependencies, and recommended actions, while escalating decisions outside the role’s authority to the accountable owner
- Capture lessons learned and contribute to knowledge sharing, reference designs, standards, and the development of technical capability across the global team
About You
- Bachelor Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Controls/Automation Engineering or equivalent
- 10+ years of experience in mission-critical infrastructure, electrical engineering, controls systems, data centre operations, GPU infrastructure, or comparable complex technical environments
- Demonstrated experience supporting global or multi-site engineering, operations, commissioning, or infrastructure programs
- Strong technical understanding of high-density power systems, medium- and low-voltage distribution, UPS, backup generation, and advanced cooling systems
- Experience with controls systems such as BMS, EPMS, SCADA, and PLCs; commissioning practices; and reliability engineering
- Working understanding of GPU fabrics, high-bandwidth fiber networks, or comparable high-performance-compute environments, particularly at their interface with facility infrastructure
- Strong communication and collaboration skills across technical disciplines, delivery teams, vendors, and operational stakeholders.
Good to have
- Professional Engineering designation or equivalent professional registration
- Project Management Professional certification or equivalent project-delivery experience
- Experience with NVIDIA GPU architectures, large-scale cluster operations, or next-generation compute platforms
- Experience supporting owner’s engineering roles for large-scale or rapidly deployed data centre development
- Familiarity with OT networking, telemetry, observability, and cybersecurity practices for critical infrastructure
Key Competencies
- Cross-domain controls, infrastructure, and operations integration
- Technical coordination within a global SME team
- Controls systems and commissioning support
- GPU network and facility infrastructure interface awareness
- Reliability, risk identification, and structured problem solving
- Clear stakeholder communication and disciplined escalation
- Standards development and continuous improvement
