Principal Duties & Responsibilities: Geothermal HVAC System Expertise & Platform Intelligence - Become the internal authority on how geothermal systems behave, fail, degrade, and excel and translate that knowledge directly into product requirements. - Define automated detection logic for system anomalies like borefield degradation, heat pump faults, performance drift, and thermal imbalances while being grounded in thermodynamic first principles. - Design metrics, KPIs, and alert frameworks that allow EDGE to identify issues without a human in the loop. - Actively use the platform as an expert operator: find what is missing, what should be amplified, and what the next level of intelligence should look like. - Build a continuous feedback loop from field data and customer conversations into product insight and specification. Roadmap Evolution & Product Strategy - Partner with leadership to shape the future EDGE roadmap. - Identify where the platform must go next: new system types, new customer segments, new performance guarantee models. - Synthesize inputs from the field, engineering, and market signals into a coherent product direction. - Develop deep fluency with customer needs across facilities managers, building owners, mechanical engineers, and controls contractors. Feature Specification & Engineering Execution - Author precise, developer-ready feature specifications: user stories, acceptance criteria, edge cases, data contracts, thermodynamic constraints. - Translate complex domain knowledge such as control logic, sensor data quality, timeseries anomalies, and thermal system behavior into unambiguous engineering requirements. - Own the sprint cycle: standups, backlog grooming, prioritization, and delivery accountability for a small engineering team. - Unblock engineers quickly and protect focus by making requirement decisions proactively. IoT & Data Quality - Own data quality standards across cloud SaaS and on-prem edge deployments. - Identify and resolve timeseries data challenges in building systems: sensor dropout, calibration drift, latency, resolution mismatches, outlier propagation. - Define data pipeline requirements, validation logic, and monitoring dashboards in collaboration with engineering. Qualifications: - Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Energy Engineering, Controls Systems, or closely related discipline. - Demonstrated thermodynamic fluency and systems depth. - 5+ years of relevant experience in product management, systems engineering, application engineering, or similar technical role. - Experience with HVAC, heat pump systems, geothermal systems, hydronic systems, or building controls. - Ability to reason through thermodynamic equations and performance metrics (COP, EER, approach temperatures, heat transfer rates). - Experience with IoT systems, sensor data, or building automation and control systems (BAS/BMS). - Strong working knowledge of timeseries data, failure modes, and anomaly detection approaches. - Demonstrated ability to write developer-ready feature specifications. - Experience running agile delivery for small engineering teams. Expected Hours of Work & Compensation: Minimum 40 hours per week. Base annual salary range of $140,000–$160,000 with eligibility for an annual performance-based bonus. Comprehensive benefits package offered. Travel Requirements: Office presence required at least three days per week unless otherwise approved. Work Environment: Office setting.
