HVAC Sensor Architect

We are currently seeking a R&D Sensor Architect to join our R&D team based in our Bangalore, India location.

The Sensor Architect will be the technical leader responsible for evaluating, selecting, and integrating sensor technologies into our intelligent devices.

This role bridges hardware design, vendor engagement, and system integration, ensuring our products-ranging from Living Space Sensors to Gas Platforms-are equipped with cutting-edge, reliable, and scalable sensor solutions

The architect will work closely with an agile development global teams, particularly in Montreal and Bangalore, and act as the primary point of contact for sensor-related decisions and innovations.

We are looking for a positive, confident, and self-motivated individual who thrives in a fast-paced, team-based environment and is passionate about developing next-generation technologies that connect and empower our products and customers.

Responsibilities


* Sensor Strategy & Architecture
+ Define and develop sensor architecture for HVAC and BMS applications.
+ Evaluate and select sensor technologies based on performance, reliability, cost, and regulatory compliance.
+ Lead sensor integration into embedded systems and cloud-connected platforms.



* Technology Development:
+ Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop and validate sensor solutions for:
o Indoor air quality (IAQ) - VOCs, CO₂, PM2.5/PM10, Temperature and humidity.
o Differential pressure - airflow and duct pressure monitoring
o Gas sensing - methane, propane, carbon monoxide
o Refrigerant leak detection - R32, R410A, etc.
+ Lead the scouting and evaluation of new sensor technologies and vendors.



* System design and Integration
+ Optimize sensor placement and calibration strategies for real-world environments.
+ Design of sensor interface and signal conditioning circuits
+ Define sensor integration strategies for analog outputs (4-20 mA, 0-10 V), Wired protocols like BACnet MSTP/ Modbus and wireless protocols like Zigbee, LoRA and BLE


* Collaborate with firmware and hardware teams to ensure seamless integration.


* Compliance & Standards:
+ Ensure sensor systems meet industry standards (ASHRAE, ISO, UL, CE).
+ Stay updated on environmental regulations and refrigerant safety standards.



* Cross-functional Collaboration
+ Work with product managers, hardware engineers, and software teams to align sensor capabilities with product requirements.
+ Coordinate with Bangalore and Montreal teams to ensure consistent architecture and implementation.


* Innovation & Future-readiness
+ Explore and propose wireless sensor technologies (e.g., Zigbee, Wirepas) for future product lines.
+ Stay updated on industry trends and emerging sensor platforms.


* Vendor & Partner Engageme...
