About the role
Job Description:
We are building the next-generation smart facilities platform — one that goes far beyond traditional BMS.
At its core is a live digital twin of every building we deploy in a real-time, physics-informed virtual replica of its mechanical, electrical, and environmental systems.
This role is for a hands-on Product Lead who can both architect and lead. You will own the full stack from edge device to cloud analytics, define product direction, and mentor a growing engineering team.
If you have deep expertise at the intersection of IoT, controls, and scalable software — and are excited by the idea of buildings that think — this role is for you.
Responsibilities
-
End-to-end platform architecture:
-
Edge → Gateway → Cloud / On-Prem → Analytics → Control feedback loop
-
Digital Twin Development:
-
Build and maintain real-time building digital twins using physics-based and data-driven models
-
Model HVAC topology, asset hierarchies, and operational states in a live twin environment
-
Integrate BIM data, sensor streams, and historical operations data into the twin
-
Protocol & Systems Integration:
-
BACnet, Modbus, OPC-UA, MQTT — connecting real building systems to the platform
-
Real-time data ingestion pipelines and time-series analytics engines
-
Control strategy development:
-
HVAC optimization, demand response, fault detection
-
Product thinking: translate facility-level problems into software abstractions and roadmap
-
Mentor and lead a team of 5–6 engineers across backend, integration, and analytics
-
Education and Experience:
-
5+ years in IoT / Industrial IoT / Building Automation platforms
-
Deep understanding of HVAC systems: chillers, AHUs, VAVs, VRF, cooling towers
-
Hands-on experience with BACnet, Modbus, OPC-UA, MQTT
-
Digital Twin experience:
-
Building or industrial digital twin platforms (e.g., Azure Digital Twins, AVEVA, Siemens Xcelerator, custom)
-
Working knowledge of twin modelling concepts: ontologies, asset graphs, state synchronization
-
Strong backend engineering in Python — the primary language for data pipelines, analytics, and AI integration
-
AI & Machine Learning Integration:
-
Experience embedding AI/ML models into production systems: predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, load forecasting
-
Familiarity with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic) or AI orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex) for building intelligent features
-
Experience with time-series databases: InfluxDB, TimescaleDB, or similar
-
Proven ability to lead engineering teams and drive product decisions
