Job description

# Forward Deployment EngineerEmpatResponds Quickly$$$$The company is building the control layer for an energy-constrained world — deploying AI, machine learning, and reinforcement learning to optimize HVAC systems, industrial equipment, and large-scale energy loads across commercial buildings, factories, hospitals, and data centers. The focus is on real, measurable impact: autonomous control systems that drive 20–30%+ energy savings in production environments. We're looking for a **BMS Control Engineer / Forward Deployment Engineer (TPM)** who will join the team. This is a hands-on role for someone who doesn't just design building automation systems, but has deployed, commissioned, and optimized them in real-world infrastructure. This role is for someone who takes full ownership of field deployments — from site discovery to production rollout. You'll work at the intersection of BMS/BAS systems, HVAC controls, and AI-driven optimization, deploying autonomous control systems across commercial buildings, factories, hospitals, and data centers. **Your responsibilities will include:*** Own deployments end-to-end: site discovery, integration, commissioning, validation, and rollout;* Install, configure, and commission BAS/BMS and PLC-integrated systems;* Deploy gateways, sensors, submeters, and communications infrastructure;* Perform startup, point-to-point testing, and controls validation;* Interface with AHUs, RTUs, chillers, boilers, pumps, cooling towers, and VFDs;* Integrate through BACnet (IP & MS/TP), Modbus, LON, and IP networks;* Work with Niagara, Siemens, Honeywell, Johnson Controls Metasys, Delta, and other BAS platforms;* Configure addressing, routing, communications, and device connectivity;* Diagnose controls hardware, wiring, networking, protocol, and sensor issues;* Support deployment of AI-driven and RL-driven control strategies;* Own deployment schedules, communications, milestones, and execution;* Coordinate customers, contractors, vendors, and internal engineering teams;* Maintain deployment plans, commissioning reports, diagrams, and as-built documentation.**What we expect from you:*** Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, HVAC, or related discipline — or equivalent BAS/PLC/SCADA/DCIM experience;* 2+ years of hands-on BACnet experience (IP & MS/TP);* 2+ years of Modbus experience;* 2+ years of HVAC Controls / DDC / BMS experience;* Strong understanding of BMS/DDC systems, PLCs, PID loops, hydronics, and refrigeration;* Experience with BAS platforms: Niagara (Tridium), Siemens, Honeywell, Johnson Controls Metasys, Delta;* Hands-on commissioning and troubleshooting experience in the field;* Ability to work independently and take ownership in customer-facing environments.**Nice to have:*** Niagara (Tridium), EPA 608, NATE, or OSHA certifications;* Experience in industrial facilities, healthcare, mission-critical environments, or data centers;* Exposure to IoT, edge computing, SCADA, or DCIM platforms;* Experience with LON protocol and IP networking in BAS contexts.**We offer:*** Full-time engagement on a high-impact infrastructure project;* Remote-friendly with on-site deployment work at client facilities;* Direct work with cutting-edge AI and reinforcement learning applied to real-world systems;* Measurable impact — 20–30%+ energy savings across live deployments;* Opportunity to help define the future of autonomous building and industrial control systems.
