Staff Analytics Engineer - Energy & Building Systems

Role overview

Establish sound engineering judgment for analytics that identify building performance issues, estimate energy savings, and may lead to automated HVAC control. This hands-on role combines building systems expertise, trend-data analysis, measurement and verification, and customer-facing technical reviews. You will also help define methods and standards as the analytics and rule library grow.

Responsibilities

- Validate analytics findings against building records and trend data, and maintain the quality of the rules that produce them. - Develop and prioritize new rules, including investigating potential savings beyond the existing rule set. - Assess prospective buildings and determine which equipment and points should be monitored, based on expected value. - Create measurement and verification methods for individual buildings and measures, including cases where standard approaches do not fit. - Decide when findings are ready to become control actions and implement those actions safely using BACnet priority handling. - Lead technical reviews with customer engineering and facilities teams, and relay findings to product and engineering colleagues.

Requirements

- Mechanical, controls, or energy engineering experience, with the ability to work directly with building trend data. - Skill in assessing evidence from drawings, equipment records, reports, sensor trends, and customer or site confirmation; ability to explain confidence and remaining gaps. - Ability to verify findings and distinguish equipment problems from faulty sensors or offline controllers. - Practical analysis skills using code, analytics tools, or AI agents, with care to check the accuracy of queries and results. - Understanding of BACnet priority arrays, write priority, relinquish defaults, and conflicts with operator overrides. - Ability to interpret system sequences and determine what building points and equipment represent.
