About Hale Schwerin

I design control systems for hyperscale liquid-cooled data centers running NVIDIA GB200/GB300/VR200 platforms.Day to day that means Rockwell PLC designs, Ignition SCADA, and multi-protocol network architecture across EtherNet/IP, MQTT, and BACnet on segregated VLANs. Most of my current work involves integrating server-level telemetry (BMC data via RedFish/MQTT) into facility-level controls, designing logic for leak detection, and building power isolation sequences for liquid-cooled racks.Before Burns & McDonnell, I spent five and a half years at Prime Controls doing design and commissioning for Mission Critical facilities.

Experience

1. Senior Instrumentation & Controls Engineer

   Burns & McDonnell

   Mar 2024 — Present · Dallas-Fort Worth, TX, US

   Controls architect for hyperscale data center programs. Design end-to-end control system architectures for liquid-cooled AI compute facilities, including multi-protocol network design (EtherNet/IP, MQTT, BACnet on segregated OT VLANs), Ignition SCADA platforms with BMC telemetry integration via RedFish, and instrumentation specification for high-density liquid-cooled environments.Author sequences of operations, P & IDs, and control system specifications for CDU-based liquid cooling, power distribution, EPMS, and environmental monitoring. Current work centers on next-gen NVIDIA GPU platform integration (VR200, GB200, GB300) across multi-hundred-MW campus programs.
