Building Automation and Controls Hardware Des

Location

• Atlanta Georgia
• Job Type: Full-Time
• Department: Engineering
• We are seeking a detail-oriented Building Automation and Controls Hardware Design Engineer with strong mechanical HVAC context to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, specifying, and documenting electrical control panels, hardware schematics, field device selection, and system topology for complex commercial and industrial Building Automation Systems (BAS).
• You will bridge the gap between complex mechanical equipment—such as Chiller Plants, Steam Generation systems, DOAS, and VRF/VRV integration —and DDC control execution.

Key Responsibilities

• Hardware & Panel Design: Design detailed BAS/BMS hardware control panel layouts, power distribution, and point-to-point wiring diagrams using Microsoft Visio .
• System Specification: Select and specify appropriate Distech Controls DDC controllers, field sensors, actuators, transmitters, energy meters, and VFDs aligned with complex Sequences of Operations (SOO).
• Niagara & Distech Architecture: Design system network architectures leveraging Tridium Niagara frameworks and Distech hardware platforms, incorporating BACnet (IP/MS-TP), Modbus, and custom integration interfaces (e.g., VRF/VRV gateways).
• Submittal Engineering: Develop comprehensive engineering submittal packages—including Bill of Materials (BOMs), system riser diagrams, network topologies, and valve/damper schedules.
• Mechanical Systems Integration: Design control hardware strategies tailored for complex mechanical applications, including Chiller Plants, Steam Generation, Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS), Air Handling Units (AHUs), and VRF/VRV systems .
• Compliance & Support: Ensure all control panel designs adhere to UL 508A and NEC standards while providing direct technical support to panel assembly personnel and field startup technicians.
