Application Engineer II

The Application Engineer II will design, configure, and support building automation and control solutions for commercial and industrial facilities. This role focuses on implementing Building Management Systems (BMS/BAS), integrating HVAC and other building subsystems, developing Tridium Niagara applications, troubleshooting field issues, and collaborating with project teams to deliver reliable, efficient automation solutions. The ideal candidate combines hands-on controls experience with strong communication skills to translate customer requirements into robust control strategies.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, configure, and commission building automation system applications using Tridium Niagara and related platforms.
• Design and implement control strategies for HVAC systems, lighting, metering, and other building subsystems within a BMS/BAS environment.
• Create and maintain graphics, points databases, control logic, schedules, and alarm management for building automation projects.
• Perform on-site startup, testing, and troubleshooting of BAS controllers, networks, and field devices to ensure system functionality and performance.
• Collaborate with sales, project management, and field service teams to scope projects, produce technical documentation, and provide application support throughout the project lifecycle.
• Provide end-user training, technical support, and documentation for clients and commissioning teams.
• Integrate third-party systems and devices using BACnet, Modbus, Lon Works, Niagara drivers, and other common protocols.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by developing reusable application templates, libraries, and standard operating procedures.
• Analyze system performance data to recommend energy-saving measures, optimizations, and remedial actions.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards, safety practices, and project schedules while supporting warranty and post commissioning activities.

Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or related technical field, or equivalent work experience.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience with building automation systems (BAS/BMS) and HVAC control applications; experience in an Application Engineer or Controls Engineer role preferred.
• Proven experience with Tridium Niagara framework (Niagara AX or Niagara
  4) including station development, modules, drivers, and system integration.
• Strong understanding of HVAC control sequences, control valves, VAV/RTU/Chiller systems, and field devices such as sensors, actuators, and controllers.
• Experience with communications protocols including BACnet, Modbus, and common BAS network topologies.
• Familiarity with BAS graphics design, alarm management, point naming conventions, and database management.
• Ability to perform on-site commissioning, troubleshooting, and customer training; valid drivers license and willingness to travel to job sites.
• Excellent problem-solving, written, and verbal communication skills; able to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams and customers.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., Niagara certification, BMS/controls manufacturer certifications, HVAC or energy-related credentials) are a plus.
