About Supermicro :

Supermicro is a Top Tier provider of advanced server, storage, and networking solutions for Data Center, Cloud Computing, Enterprise IT, Hadoop / Big Data, Hyperscale, HPC and IoT / Embedded customers worldwide. We are the #5 fastest growing company among the Silicon Valley Top 50 technology firms. Our unprecedented global expansion has provided us with the opportunity to offer a large number of new positions to the technology community. We seek talented, passionate, and committed engineers, technologists, and business leaders to join us.

Job Summary :

The Controls Systems Architect is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining an integrated multi-site controls and automation solution spanning Supermicro's global facilities for rack integration, burn-in, and cooling infrastructure. This role combines hands-on technical execution (device connectivity, protocol configuration, database integration) with system-level architecture and design, bridging Rack Solutions, Facilities, Production, and IT teams to create a unified, scalable, and data-driven controls environment.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities :

System Architecture & Integration

  • Design and implement a multi-site controls architecture across Supermicro's global facilities.
  • Define network topology, redundancy, and high-availability requirements for all control nodes and servers.
  • Develop and maintain standardized frameworks for BACnet, Modbus, SNMP, and OPC-UA communication layers.
  • Ensure open, non-proprietary architecture to support integration with enterprise BMS, SCADA, and analytics tools.

Device Connectivity & Configuration

  • Commission and configure sensors, meters, CDUs / CDMs, cooling-tower controllers, and other I / O devices on Supermicro's secured network.
  • Collaborate with IT to obtain and manage IP allocations, VLAN assignments, and data-security compliance for IoT and controls systems.
  • Implement diagnostic toolsets (e.g., YABE for BACnet, Modbus Poll) to verify real-time connectivity and point accuracy.
  • Data Collection & Storage

  • Architect and deploy a centralized telemetry database capable of storing high-resolution time-series data from power, thermal, and environmental sensors.
  • Define data-retention, redundancy, and backup policies to ensure system reliability and compliance with internal standards.
  • Integrate with production and facilities analytics pipelines to support capacity tracking, tower performance analysis, and burn-in optimization.
  • Visualization & User Interface

  • Collaborate with internal software teams (e.g., Jarvis's group) to build intuitive dashboards and mobile / web front-ends for multiple user groups (Rack, Production, Facilities).
  • Develop visualization layers using Ignition SCADA, Grafana, or comparable frameworks, ensuring modularity for site-specific expansion.
  • Construction Project Integration

  • Participate in new construction and retrofit projects to ensure controls and BMS standards are embedded from design through commissioning.
  • Define and review controls and instrumentation specifications in architectural and MEP packages to ensure compatibility with global controls standards.
  • Work closely with Facilities Project Managers, Controls Contractors, and Engineering Consultants to confirm that new systems can be seamlessly integrated into Supermicro's global infrastructure.
  • Validate installed systems during commissioning for proper network configuration, protocol compatibility, and data visibility.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with Global Facilities to align with enterprise-wide BMS modernization and control initiatives.
  • Coordinate with Production Engineering to leverage power-tracking data for charge optimization and burn-in capacity management.
  • Work with Architecture & Infrastructure teams to validate cooling-tower and CDU / CDM performance through collected telemetry.
  • Standards & Documentation

  • Establish Supermicro's internal standards for controls system design, protocol implementation, and data naming conventions.
  • Produce technical documentation covering device configuration, IP mapping, and point-list templates.
  • Train internal staff on system operation, troubleshooting, and expansion best practices.
  • Qualifications :

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Controls, Computer Engineering, or related discipline.
  • 7+ years of experience in industrial controls, building automation, or data-center systems integration.
  • Deep familiarity with BACnet, Modbus TCP / IP, SNMP, and related protocols.
  • Experience designing or deploying BMS / SCADA systems (e.g., Ignition SCADA, Niagara, Tridium, Wonderware, etc.).
  • Strong background in database integration (SQL Server, InfluxDB, PostgreSQL, etc.) and data logging architecture.
  • Proficient in Python or scripting for automation / configuration within SCADA / BMS frameworks.
  • Working knowledge of network architecture (subnets, VLANs, firewall rules, IP management).
  • Excellent documentation, communication, and cross-department coordination skills.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Prior experience in data-center or high-density rack integration environments.
  • Familiarity with liquid-cooling, CDU / CDM, and tower control systems.
  • Experience deploying multi-site redundant controls servers.
  • Knowledge of industrial IoT security and edge computing best practices.
  • Familiarity with Grafana, Node-RED, Ignition Perspective, or equivalent visualization tools.
  • Exposure to Supermicro rack products, burn-in lines, and production automation.
  • Success Metrics

  • All global sites connected to a centralized controls network with 99.9% uptime.
  • Standardized telemetry and controls data available to Facilities, Rack, and Production within Q2 post-hire.
  • Controls and BMS design standards embedded in all new construction and retrofit projects.
  • Implementation of cross-department dashboards and alerting systems by phase 2 (6-9 months).
  • Measurable improvement in burn-in line utilization, tower efficiency, and diagnostic turnaround time.
  • Salary Range

    129093-145000

    The salary offered will depend on several factors, including your location, level, education, training, specific skills, years of experience, and comparison to other employees already in this role. In addition to a comprehensive benefits package, candidates may be eligible for other forms of compensation, such as participation in bonus and equity award programs.
