This contract role is a solid entry point into controls engineering. You'll work on real systems that power data centers—infrastructure that matters. A 6-month contract lets you build hands-on experience, see how your work affects actual operations, and decide if this engineering path fits you.

Your day-to-day involves developing sequences of operation for data center equipment, contributing to HMI development, and collaborating with the controls team to meet timelines. You'll identify ways to improve how control strategies work in the data center market. The work is collaborative—you're not siloed, you're working across teams.

This fits you if you have foundational knowledge in controls, automation, or electrical engineering. A portfolio showing coursework, projects, or internships in PLC programming, SCADA systems, or industrial automation helps. You should be comfortable learning on the job and asking questions.
