As a Network & Controls Engineer at Galaxy Digital, you will sit within the Pre-Construction team and act as the owner's technical voice on OT networking for Galaxy's data center campuses. You will work from site acquisition through GMP handoff, beginning with the Helios campus in Texas and carrying what you learn into the sites that follow. You will work across pre-construction, design and engineering, construction, and operations groups, alongside design firms, integrators, and suppliers.
What you'll do
- Set the owner's position by turning tenant, power, and cooling requirements into a written OT network position that design firms and the general contractor can build from, ensuring key decisions are made once and made early.
- Build the Galaxy playbook of standards, typical details, and repeatable design packages so each new campus starts from what worked on the last one.
- Shape the bid list by writing technical scopes and supporting RFQ and RFP cycles for controls integrators, network and controls equipment suppliers, design consultants, and commissioning agents; level the bids and recommend awards.
- Review each design milestone for topology, IP and VLAN planning, segmentation, redundancy, and monitoring coverage, and drive comments to closure before drawings are issued for construction.
- Connect the disciplines by working with electrical, mechanical, IT, and security leads and pre-construction project managers to ensure the controls network matches power, cooling, and tenant requirements.
- Work with OFCI procurement and logistics teams to lock specifications, lead times, and delivery sequences for network and controls hardware so no site is waiting on equipment.
- Agree on the boundary between OT and corporate networks with Galaxy IT and security, including remote access for vendors and tenants and firewall rules, before the design is frozen.
- Build acceptance criteria and test requirements for factory, site, failover, and integrated systems testing into scopes and commissioning plans, making proof of performance a contract requirement.
- Check submittals, firmware selections, and baseline configurations against Galaxy standards, catching mismatches in the office instead of in the field.
- Write down what operations will have to live with, including change control, configuration backups, firmware management, monitoring, and rollback procedures, before the design is final.
- Give technical input to budgets, GMP pricing review, and schedule for controls and network scope, surfacing cost, schedule, and value-engineering effects as early as possible.
- Deliver the design basis, open items, and lessons learned to construction and commissioning teams, staying available to them through early construction.
What you bring
- A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, network engineering, or a related technical field.
- 7+ years designing, delivering, and supporting OT or industrial networks where downtime is not acceptable, such as in data centers, utilities, manufacturing, or other critical facilities.
- Solid grounding in segmented network design, including VLAN and VRF strategy, access control, and redundant paths, with the judgment to know how much resilience a given system actually needs.
- Understanding of how building management, electrical power monitoring, and SCADA systems are architected, and what they demand of the network underneath, including time synchronization and telemetry from power and cooling equipment.
- Practical experience with firewalls, VPNs, and secure remote access in OT environments, including how vendor and tenant access is granted and controlled.
- Experience reading drawings and specifications, reviewing design submissions, and writing technical scopes, ideally from the owner's or designer's side of a large capital project.
- Exposure to commissioning and acceptance testing, and the ability to turn field lessons into requirements the next project can use.
- Comfort working with incomplete information, including sites at different stages and decisions that have to be made before every answer is in.
- Based in or near Dallas, TX, with availability for a hybrid schedule and periodic travel to campuses, vendors, and project sites.
Nice to have
- Strong written and verbal communication, with a record of making complex technical subjects clear to engineers, executives, and vendors alike.
- Experience developing RFQs and RFPs, leveling bids, or selecting vendors for technical scopes.
- Working knowledge of delivery models such as GMP and of how design decisions drive cost and schedule.
- Professional networking or security credentials, such as CCNP, PCNSE, GICSP, or ISA/IEC 62443.
- Experience supporting multiple sites or campuses and keeping them consistent with one another.
- Sound judgment under pressure and a willingness to disagree openly and raise issues early and honestly.
