Sr. Embedded Software Engineer

About this role

Brightcore Energy provides end-to-end energy efficiency and clean energy measures to commercial, industrial, and institutional clients. We have the intellectual and financial capital to develop, implement, fund, operate, and maintain clean energy solutions. Our diverse solutions range from lighting, controls, geothermal heating and cooling, and other energy efficiency measures to renewable energy solutions such as solar and battery storage. We are about Building Energy Performance.

Summary/Primary Role:

This role owns the edge computing platform behind Brightcore EDGE, an on-premise industrial PC that runs our control and optimization algorithms at customer sites. This person selects, configures, and hardens the edge hardware and operating system; owns local data logging and edge compute architecture across all deployments; and establishes the hardware, OS, and security standards that scale to every future site. The role is defined by ownership and speed: take the problem end-to-end, buy the equipment, rapidly test and iterate. The platform must integrate cleanly with existing building management systems and meet the security expectations of mission-critical facilities such as data centers and financial institutions.
