The job, in the employer's words
About Giga
Giga is building gigawatts of AI data centers to hasten a future of intelligence and abundance. We build data centers fast and at scale by combining the capabilities of an equipment supplier, engineering firm, general contractor, and real estate developer under one roof. Our team moves quickly and thinks practically. If you're ready to make an impact in an industry that matters, we're looking for people like you.
Why join Giga
- The Pace: We're building at a speed most companies talk about but never actually operate at. If you've been bored somewhere else, you won't be here.
- The Impact: Every person at Giga touches the work that matters. No layers, no waiting for approval chains. You'll see your fingerprints on what we ship.
- The Team: A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure. We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more.
- The Moment: AI doesn't run without power, and that's us. Giga is the picks and shovels behind the AI revolution. This industry is about to explode, and you'll be in the room where it's already happening.
What you'll do
You'll support controls for data center cooling products: CDUs, FWUs, chillers, and chiller plant managers. Job entails product development and improvement, field support, factory testing, and troubleshooting. You'll also update as-built drawings and make design changes when needed.
Where you'll work
We are an in-office culture — velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure, and the best decisions happen in the room. This role is ideally based in our San Francisco, Long Beach, or Houston offices, with full-time onsite expectations outside of bi-weekly WFH Fridays.
That said, we will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent if you live outside one of our hubs. If you're the right person for this role, we'll have a conversation about what works.

- Support startup and commissioning on site.
- Troubleshoot PLCs, VFDs, instruments, and networks.
- Do loop checks and I/O checkouts.
- Resolve comms issues (EtherNet/IP, Modbus, OPC-UA).
- Capture field changes and redlines.
- Turn field redlines into as-built drawings.
- Update schematics, wiring diagrams, and P&IDs for design changes.
- Update I/O lists and control narratives to match.
