Smart Building Engineer – IoT & BAS Design Specialist
Smart Building Engineer, IoT Engineer, Building Automation… these phrases describe you—and they are the primary keywords that drive this role. You will architect connected environments where data, comfort, energy, and security converge. Work on landmark commercial campuses or collaborate remotely with distributed design teams—the choice depends on project needs and your preferred rhythm.
Responsibilities
- Craft holistic smart-building master plans that align operational technology with enterprise IT strategies.
- Model and coordinate low-voltage systems in Revit, ensuring spatial accuracy and clash-free delivery.
- Specify IoT sensor networks—select protocols (BACnet, MQTT, KNX) and confirm bandwidth calculations.
- Program and fine-tune Niagara Framework controllers for HVAC, lighting, and access systems.
- Define API integrations that push real-time telemetry to Azure or AWS IoT cores.
- Develop cybersecurity baselines for OT assets—segment networks, implement zero-trust policies.
- Build analytics use cases (space utilization, predictive maintenance) and validate data pipelines.
- Commission, test, and document every subsystem… then hand off digital twins for ongoing operations.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s in Electrical, Mechanical, or Architectural Engineering—or equivalent practical mastery.
- 5+ years designing Building Automation Systems and IoT architectures in large commercial facilities.
- Fluency with Niagara, Revit, Visio, and at least one cloud platform (Azure, AWS).
- Solid grasp of TCP/IP, VLANs, firewalls, and OT cybersecurity frameworks (ISA/IEC 62443).
- Professional Engineer (PE) license or pursuit thereof is a plus.
- Excellent stakeholder communication—you translate technical nuance into business value.
- Eligibility to work in the United States. Remote collaboration possible for qualified candidates.
Desired Extras
- Hands-on scripting in Python or Node-RED for rapid prototyping.
- Familiarity with digital twin platforms (e.g., Autodesk Tandem) and BIM 360 workflows.
- Experience integrating occupancy analytics with facilities management software (CMMS, IWMS).
- Competence in energy modeling tools (IES VE, EnergyPlus) for carbon impact studies.
