Senior Staff Instrumentation & Controls Engineer, SCADAPosted today$190K–$215K

The opportunity

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence . As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads.

What you'll do

  • Control Layer Governance: Own tag naming taxonomy and govern interfacing with the control layer across assigned SCADA deployments, ensuring consistent data structures that feed downstream cloud and customer systems.

  • Version Control Strategy: Provide guidance on version control system usage across active projects in the pipeline, establishing practices that protect configuration integrity as programs scale.

  • Governance Documentation: Draft and maintain the documentation that drives governance across tagging, version control, and vendor standards, ensuring the frameworks other teams rely on are clear, current, and enforceable.

  • Cross-Program Standardization: Partner directly with engineering peers to develop approaches flexible enough to meet project-specific requirements while maintaining uniformity that accelerates deployment velocity.

  • Vendor Implementability: Validate that governance frameworks and technical approaches are realistically implementable by vendor field workforces, balancing standardization with practical field constraints.

  • SME-Level Review: Serve as the subject matter expert for escalated or ambiguous documentation and governance questions, providing authoritative guidance where standard processes don't clearly apply.

What they're looking for

  • Mission-Critical Systems Mastery: 10+ years of experience in mission-critical or related critical industrial control systems environments.
  • Ignition & Version Control Expertise: Deep mastery of the Ignition SCADA platform and version control systems as applied to industrial control projects.
  • Hosting & Infrastructure Fluency: Strong familiarity with hosting methodologies including containerization and orchestration alongside bare-metal deployment, plus a fundamental understanding of server hardware and topologies.
  • Protocol Proficiency: Extensive knowledge of data center and industrial control protocols, including Modbus TCP/IP / RTU and BACnet IP / MS/TP, EtherNet/IP, and working knowledge of IEC 61850 and related IO protocols.
