<div> Do you long to apply your academic expertise to an impactful and engaging business problem that will reduce energy consumption of the building sector? About PassiveLogic® PassiveLogic is the first fully autonomous platform for buildings. We’ve reinvented the fundamental principles of automation to democratize technology, optimize buildings, and reduce the world’s carbon footprint. We are a team of technologists, engineers, and creatives dedicated to making a sustainable impact through real-world solutions.We are looking for team members who have a passion for technology and want to work on cutting-edge problems with real-world solutions. Our culture is built on bringing together the most talented engineers, thinkers, and creatives—backed by the world’s leading investors—working together to make the future a reality.About the Role This is a career-defining opportunity to play a crucial role in a hyper-scale AI company that is transforming the future of autonomous systems, energy, and the built environment. The Thermal Systems Digital Twin Engineer will develop a library of physics-based models of building and HVAC components, equipment, assemblies, systems, buildings, and entire campuses. These models will support simulation, validation, and testing across teams. Validated models are used by our AI and Equipment Inferencer engine to optimize building system control. What you’ll do Component template development: Defines and develops fundamental component templates, in addition to managing the component template evolution process. Mathematical and system modeling: Develop mathematical models for equipment, thermo-physical systems, and building simulation. Model standardization and validation: Standardize and validate physics-based models for use by the PassiveLogic control engine for optimized autonomous control of buildings. Software and model development: Contribute to both model development and software implementation. What you’ll bring If your experience does not meet all our posted requirements below, we’d still love to hear from you.
