Develop and maintain Niagara N4 Supervisor and JACE stations, including point structures, naming conventions, templates and reusable libraries. 2. Configure BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, Modbus TCP/RTU and other supported drivers; map, normalize and validate data from DDCs, meters and IoT devices. 3. Engineer station logic using Niagara wiresheets, control modules, schedules, alarms, histories and Program objects where appropriate. 4. Develop and tune HVAC control sequences for AHU/FAHU, FCU, pumps and ventilation equipment, coordinating functional requirements with site engineers. 5. Build PX/Hx or equivalent user interfaces, equipment graphics, supervisory dashboards, reports and operational views for FM/command centers. 6. Integrate LoRaWAN/MQTT devices and upstream systems via gateways, brokers or APIs; validate payload decoding, data quality and bidirectional commands. 7. Develop calculations, KPIs, rule-based diagnostics, exception alerts and energy/occupancy/IAQ analytics from operational data. 8. Prototype and assess innovative integrations and automation use cases; document proof-of-concept results, limitations and scaling requirements. 9. Configure remote communications, network addressing, user roles, secure access, backups and software version control with IT/OT stakeholders. 10.
