Control Engineer

We at Brick are building the control layer for an energy-constrained world — deploying AI to optimize HVAC, industrial systems, and large-scale energy loads across buildings, factories, and data centers.

We’re looking for a Control Engineer / Forward Deployment Engineer to lead on-the-ground deployments of our AI energy optimization platform. This is a high-ownership, field-first role combining BMS/BAS engineering, system integration, and technical program execution.

Role Overview

* You will own deployments end-to-end — from site discovery and system integration to commissioning, validation, and full-scale rollout. You’ll work directly with real-world systems (HVAC, chillers, pumps, production equipment) and act as the bridge between customer operations, field systems, and Brick’s AI/RL platform.

* This is not a desk role — you’ll be in the field, solving real problems, interfacing with equipment, and making systems work.

Key Responsibilities

Deployment & Commissioning

* Lead on-site installation, configuration, and commissioning of BMS/BAS and PLC-integrated systems

* Deploy Brick edge devices (gateways, sensors, submeters) and ensure reliable data + control pathways

* Perform system startup, point-to-point testing, sensor validation, and network integration

* Interface with equipment including AHUs, RTUs, chillers, boilers, pumps, cooling towers, and VFDs

System Integration

* Integrate with existing building and industrial systems via:

* Direct hardware integration via BACnet (IP & MS/TP), Modbus, LON

* BMS integration via platforms such as Niagara (Tridium), Siemens, Johnson Controls (Metasys), Honeywell, Delta

* Configure communication networks, device addressing, routing, and control interfaces

* Ensure reliable command execution between Brick’s platform and field devices

Troubleshooting & Optimization

* Diagnose and resolve issues across:

* Controls hardware and wiring

* Communication networks and protocol layers

* Sensor calibration and device faults

* Validate system performance and support optimization of control strategies

* Work alongside internal teams to refine and deploy AI-driven control sequences

Program Ownership (TPM)

* Own hardware & deployment planning, external & internal communications, installation/deployment timelines, milestones, and execution across multiple sites

* Coordinate with customers, contractors, vendors, and internal engineering teams

* Drive pilots (A/B testing, phased rollout) → quantify savings → scale deployments

* Maintain documentation: hardware & deployment memo, wiring diagrams, control logic, commissioning reports, as-builts

Collaboration

* Act as the primary technical interface between:

* Customer facility teams

* Brick software / ML / product teams

* Lead and organize site walkthroughs, technical scoping, and system design decisions

Required Qualifications

Technical Background

* Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, HVAC, or related field

* — or equivalent hands-on experience in BAS/PLC/SCADA/DCIM systems

Controls & HVAC Expertise

* Strong understanding of:

* BMS/DDC systems, PLCs, and building automation

* HVAC fundamentals (airside + waterside systems, hydronics, refrigeration)

* Control sequences, PID loops, sensors, and field devices

Systems & Networking

* Experience with:

* BACnet, Modbus, LON, IP-based networking

* Device addressing, routing, and communication troubleshooting

* Familiarity with BAS platforms such as:

* Tridium Niagara, Siemens, Johnson Controls, Honeywell, Delta

Hands-On Skills

* Proven experience in:

* Installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting of control systems

* Field-based work in commercial or industrial environments

* Comfortable working with both hardware and software layers

Preferred Qualifications

* Certifications: Niagara (Tridium), EPA 608, NATE, OSHA

* Experience with industrial facilities, healthcare, or data centers

* Exposure to edge devices, IoT systems, or remote monitoring platforms

* Familiarity with SCADA or DCIM systems

What We’re Looking For

* High ownership mindset — you run the project end-to-end

* Strong problem-solver who thrives in messy, real-world environments

* Ability to operate independently in fast-paced, field-based settings

* Clear communicator with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

* Work Environment

* Field-based across commercial buildings, factories, hospitals, and data centers

* Frequent travel to deployment sites

* Work in live operational environments requiring adaptability and precision

Why Brick

* Deploy cutting-edge AI / reinforcement learning in real-world infrastructure

* Direct, measurable impact — 20–30%+ energy savings across live sites

* Fast-growing company with strong traction across the U.S. and GCC

* Opportunity to define the future of autonomous building and industrial control systems

* If you’re excited about building and deploying real systems — not just designing them — we’d love to hear from you.
