    Brightcore Energy | Senior Embedded Software/Hardware Engineer | Brooklyn, NY (hybrid, 3 days/week onsite) | Full-time | $140k-$170k+ base, flexible for the right experience, plus annual bonus

    Brightcore Energy designs, builds, and operates clean energy systems, geothermal, solar, and building energy efficiency, for commercial and institutional buildings. A growing share of our work is managing geothermal cooling assets at data centers.

    We're hiring an owner for Brightcore EDGE, an on-prem industrial PC that runs our control and optimization algorithms directly at customer sites, including data center facilities where real-time energy management is mission-critical. You'd select and harden the industrial PC and Linux platform, build the imaging, provisioning, and fleet-update process, integrate with building management systems over BACnet and Modbus (Schneider Electric, Johnson Controls, Honeywell, Siemens), build the local time-series data logging and telemetry pipeline, and implement OS hardening, disk encryption, and network segmentation to satisfy OT security reviews at high-security sites.

    Reports directly to our VP of Innovation. Looking for 5-8+ years in embedded systems, industrial controls, or edge/IoT, strong Linux, Python and/or C/C++, and some BACnet/Modbus background. It's a high-ownership, spec-it-and-build-it role, you'll be buying hardware and shipping working prototypes without a lot of process overhead.
