Senior Power Systems SCADA and Controls Engineer

Founded in Australia in 2019, our mission is to create the most efficient AI infrastructure by combining cutting-edge technology with a steadfast commitment to sustainability.

At Firmus, we are unique in our approach. We design, build, and operate a new class of digital infrastructure – the AI Factory. Through our model-to-grid technology approach, we have pushed

the boundaries of multi-generational liquid cooling systems, energy management, AI software orchestration, and construction. For our customers, this approach allows us to make every watt count and deliver low-cost AI tokens globally.

Build, configure and support the code, control logic, SCADA/HMI screens, telemetry and operator interfaces required to deliver Model-to-Grid power controller functions.
Develop and support interfaces for agreed network and protection schemes, including runback triggers, load-reduction commands and Firmus-side controls required to support special protection schemes.
Work with grid connections, HPC and internal controls teams to translate power network requirements into practical SCADA, HMI and control logic on Firmus’ side of the connection point.
Work with HPC and AI Platform teams to integrate Model-to-Grid control capability with Firmus’ AI compute platform, enabling advanced workload management, load control and grid-responsive operation.
Support configuration, testing and commissioning of SCADA, HMI, telemetry and controls for MV/HV/EHV infrastructure and related Firmus-side load control interfaces.
Configure and support gateways, RTUs and power system control platforms, directly or through consultants and OEMs as appropriate.
Develop practical SCADA/HMI deliverables, including operator screens, alarm structures, point maps, control sequences, operating limits and commissioning records.
