Where is the work:

Our BrainBox AI Workplace Presence model dedicates specific in-office days each month to focus on relationships, learning and innovation.

What's in it for you:

At BrainBox AI, we are revolutionizing how buildings consume energy by combining artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and HVAC expertise to create truly autonomous buildings. We're looking for a Mechanical Engineer who brings deep knowledge of HVAC system design, commissioning, and field implementation-someone who understands how buildings operate in the real world and is excited to help optimize them through cutting-edge AI solutions.

What you will do:

• Leverage HVAC system expertise to develop and refine detailed sequences of operation that serve as the foundation for optimization algorithms for facility mechanical systems.
• Integrate the latest advances in artificial intelligence into our sequences of operation, and consolidate them into a single coherent standard.
• Collaborate across AI research, MLOps, and algorithm teams to deliver production-ready solutions.
• Review mechanical and control drawings, sequences, and submittals to understand system capabilities and identify opportunities for optimization.
• Conduct remote system reviews to evaluate mechanical equipment configuration and control readiness.
• Analyze BAS trend data and system performance to validate assumptions, detect anomalies, and benchmark system behavior before and after optimization.
• Support the creation of functional performance tests protocols to verify system operation and energy outcomes.
• Collaborate closely with software developers and system architects to translate mechanical principles into algorithms and control logic that improve building performance.
• Provide engineering insight into optimization algorithm design, ensuring alignment between physical system behavior and digital models.
• Support the debugging and troubleshooting of control logic and optimization algorithms, working hand-in-hand with the software development team to identify root causes and implement effective solutions.
• Conduct testing and validation of algorithms through both virtual simulations and real-world field trials to verify functionality, energy savings, comfort, and operational reliability.
• Develop and deliver training sessions for operations team, explaining the logic, configuration, and expected behavior of the algorithm sequences.
• Provide technical documentation and feedback to improve platform performance, user experience, and integration workflows.
• Stay current on emerging HVAC, controls, and building automation technologies to continuously enhance BrainBox AI's optimization capabilities.

What you will bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited program.
• Active Professional Engineer (P.E.) license - preferred but no required
• Deep understanding of engineering principles (Thermodynamics, Psychrometrics, Heat Transfer, Refrigeration Cycles, and Building Automation Systems)
• Proven and meaningful experience in HVAC applied system design and/or commissioning.
• Strong technical understanding of mechanical system design and controls.
• Demonstrated record of stable and successful employment history.

Language Requirements
