Job description

Accountabilities:

• Smart Home System Implementation: Plan, coordinate, and oversee the implementation of smart home technologies across residential projects, including lighting, climate control, air and water quality monitoring, energy management, security, and connectivity.
• Technology Evaluation and Vendor Selection: Research, evaluate, and select smart home platforms, devices, and technology vendors that align with project requirements, wellness objectives, reliability standards, and electromagnetic field (EMF)-conscious design principles.
• Technical Design Integration: Collaborate with architects, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) consultants, and construction teams to integrate smart home infrastructure into building designs from the earliest planning stages.
• Installation and Commissioning: Manage vendors, installers, and system integrators throughout installation, configuration, testing, troubleshooting, commissioning, and final handover to ensure systems operate as intended.
• AI-Powered Prototyping: Use AI tools to rapidly prototype smart home integrations, test automation concepts, and validate technical solutions before deploying them in residential environments.
• Workflow Automation and Internal Tools: Build internal systems and streamline operational workflows using AI-assisted coding, no-code platforms, and automation tools. Develop solutions that improve project tracking, vendor coordination, reporting, and day-to-day execution.
• Emerging Technology Exploration: Stay informed about developments in smart home technology, artificial intelligence, IoT, and automation. Experiment with new tools and approaches to identify opportunities for innovation and improved resident experiences.
• Project Management and Delivery: Manage project timelines, budgets, deliverables, dependencies, and implementation milestones. Identify potential risks early and ensure smart home activities remain aligned with broader construction and development schedules.
• Cross-Functional and International Coordination: Coordinate effectively with internal teams, vendors, and technical partners across India and the United States, maintaining clear communication and progress updates across time zones.
• Documentation and Knowledge Transfer: Create clear technical documentation covering system configurations, integrations, operating procedures, and maintenance requirements. Ensure residents, facilities teams, and future project teams can understand and manage the installed systems.
• Wellness-Centered Technology: Ensure technology choices support healthy, comfortable living environments, with consideration for air and water quality, circadian lighting, energy efficiency, and low-EMF design principles.

Requirements:

• Professional Experience: 3–7 years of experience in smart home technology, home automation, Internet of Things (IoT), Extra-Low Voltage (ELV) systems, or Building Management Systems (BMS), preferably within residential real estate or construction projects.
• Smart Home Platforms and Protocols: Hands-on knowledge of smart home platforms and communication protocols such as Home Assistant, Control4, Crestron, KNX, Zigbee, Z-Wave, and Matter.
• Installation and Integration Experience: Demonstrated experience managing smart home installations with vendors and system integrators, from initial planning and equipment selection through implementation, testing, and handover.
• AI-Assisted Development: Practical experience using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Lovable, or Replit to build prototypes, create integrations, automate workflows, or develop internal tools.
• No-Code and Workflow Automation: Familiarity with no-code platforms and automation tools such as Zapier, Make, and Airtable, with the ability to identify repetitive processes and build efficient solutions.
• Demonstrable Technical Projects: Ability to showcase examples of smart home integrations, prototypes, automations, or internal tools you have developed. Candidates should be prepared to share relevant projects as part of their application.
• Building Systems Knowledge: Understanding of how smart home technologies interact with residential infrastructure, building systems, connectivity, and construction requirements.
• Wellness Technology Interest: A strong interest in wellness-oriented residential technology, including indoor air and water quality, circadian lighting, energy management, and low-EMF design, is a significant advantage.
• Project Management Skills: Strong organizational and coordination abilities, with experience managing budgets, schedules, vendor relationships, deliverables, and multiple project priorities.
• Problem-Solving and Initiative: A practical, experimental mindset with the ability to troubleshoot technical challenges, test new ideas, work through ambiguity, and turn concepts into functioning systems without requiring close supervision.
• Communication and Collaboration: Clear and proactive written and spoken English communication skills, with the ability to coordinate across technical and non-technical stakeholders in a remote, multicultural environment.
