What Makes Us Different

You build the product, not just use it: Our Axxon platform is developed in-house, and your field insights directly shape its evolution.

True R&D opportunity: Help design dashboards, refine alarm logic, and influence platform features.

Modern tools: Work with Node-RED and open standards—not outdated proprietary languages.

Protocol-agnostic: Integrate across BACnet, Modbus, and Haystack for true interoperability.

Full-stack ownership: From equipment to dashboards, from wiring to cloud data—you touch the entire system.

Hands-on leadership: Guide installers while staying deeply technical in the field.

No finger-pointing: You commission systems built by the same in-house team that installed them.

Real-world impact: Your work directly affects how hundreds of multifamily buildings consume energy.

For true controls people: If you get excited about tuning loops or reading BACnet specs, you’ll thrive here.

Collaborative innovation: Work alongside software developers, mechanical teams, and field technicians who care about getting it right.
