  • Create technical documentation such as solution diagrams, integration plans, and bill of materials.
  • Understand and specify the required accessories and hardware configurations to support project needs.
  • Partner with internal engineering and product teams to ensure proposed solutions are feasible and scalable.
  • Act as a trusted technical advisor before, during, and after solution deployment.
  • Support commissioning activities when required, ensuring smooth handoff to implementation teams.
Required Qualifications
  • 3–7 years of experience in a Solution Engineer, Sales Engineer, or Systems Integration Engineer role.
  • Strong expertise in BACnet and Modbus protocols — both theoretical understanding and practical application.
  • Hands-on experience designing hardware integration solutions and working with field devices, sensors, and controllers.
  • Ability to assess existing environments and create retrofit strategies to incorporate new monitoring and control solutions.
  • Exceptional presentation skills with the ability to clearly communicate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Comfortable answering deep technical questions on-the-spot in meetings and calls.
  • Self-starter with strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Ability to create clear and professional technical diagrams, schematics, and documentation.
  • Willingness to travel as needed to customer sites (estimate [insert]% travel)
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with building management systems (BMS), IoT solutions, and energy monitoring platforms.
  • Familiarity with cloud-connected monitoring systems and network architecture.
  • Certification in BACnet, Modbus, or related field.
  • Experience with scripting or basic programming (e.g., Python, scripting for integration tasks).
