What is a Software Engineer at Sunbelt Controls?
At Sunbelt Controls, a Software Engineer—more commonly designated internally as a Systems Software Engineer or Controls Design Engineer—occupies a highly specialized role at the convergence of software development, mechanical systems, and smart building technology. Unlike traditional software roles focused on SaaS or web applications, your work here directly impacts the physical world. You will design, program, and integrate Building Automation Systems (BAS) that control HVAC, lighting, and energy management systems for massive, mission-critical facilities.
The systems you program are the brains behind modern, energy-efficient infrastructure. From data centers and healthcare complexes to biotech laboratories and commercial high-rises, your databases, custom graphical user interfaces, and control logic ensure optimal environmental conditions and minimized operational costs. You will bridge the gap between digital instructions and physical machinery, making this role both intellectually stimulating and highly tangible.
This position is critical to the mission of Sunbelt Controls because it directly affects project execution, client satisfaction, and sustainability compliance. You will collaborate closely with project managers, field technicians, and clients to take a project from initial design to active commissioning. It is an exciting opportunity for engineers who love problem-solving, networking, and seeing their code come to life in the physical environment.
