Job summary

Brightcore Energy is seeking an experienced Edge Platform Engineer to own the edge computing stack behind Brightcore EDGE. The role requires fast, end-to-end ownership of hardware, OS, and data logging across deployments at customer sites.

You will configure hardware, establish imaging and fleet updates, and ensure secure, scalable operation that integrates with building management systems and enterprise IT security standards.

Qualifications

• 5–8+ years in embedded systems, industrial controls, edge computing, or industrial IoT.
• Deep experience with industrial PCs and Linux: OS configuration and hardening, networking, provisioning, and remote management.
• Working knowledge of BACnet and/or Modbus and experience integrating with building management or industrial control systems.
• Ability to implement modern security tooling for high-security environments — pick and deploy state-of-the-art practices for facilities like data centers and banks.
• Strong software skills in Python and/or C/C++; scripting, containerization (e.g., Docker), and version control.
• Bias to action: take an ambiguous problem, buy what is needed, and deliver a working prototype on a tight timeline.

Responsibilities

• Edge Platform Ownership: select, configure, and harden the on-premise PC platform that runs the EDGE control algorithm at customer sites.
• Data Logging & Edge Compute Architecture: own local data logging and edge compute architecture across deployments, including time-series storage and local buffering.
• Building Management System Integration: integrate the edge platform with BACnet and Modbus, including device discovery and gateway config.
• Security & Hardening: apply OS hardening, disk encryption, secure remote access, network segmentation, and patch management.
• Rapid Prototyping & Iteration: procure equipment, build test benches, and quickly iterate to deployment standards.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: work with engineers and monitoring teams to implement optimization algorithms on site and support field troubleshooting.
