Remote Building Science information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Building Science Specialist, and why are they important?

A strong foundation in building physics, energy modeling, and construction principles, often supported by a degree in engineering, architecture, or a related field, is essential for a Remote Building Science Specialist. Familiarity with technical tools such as energy simulation software (e.g., EnergyPlus, WUFI), CAD programs, and certifications like LEED or BPI is typically required. Outstanding analytical thinking, communication, and self-motivation are crucial soft skills, especially when collaborating remotely with multidisciplinary teams. These skills ensure accurate assessments, effective solutions, and successful project outcomes in the evolving field of sustainable building design and performance.

How does a Remote Building Science professional typically collaborate with on-site teams during a project?

Remote Building Science professionals often work closely with on-site teams by leveraging digital tools such as video conferencing, BIM software, and cloud-based documentation. They are responsible for analyzing building performance data, providing recommendations, and ensuring that sustainability and energy efficiency goals are met. Effective communication and regular virtual meetings are key to maintaining alignment between remote experts and field personnel. Establishing clear protocols for data sharing and feedback helps ensure smooth collaboration throughout the project lifecycle.

What is a Remote Building Science professional?

A Remote Building Science professional is an expert who analyzes and improves building performance, energy efficiency, and occupant comfort—often using digital tools and remote technologies. They may conduct virtual assessments, review building plans, model energy use, and recommend improvements, all without being physically present at the project site. Their work helps ensure buildings are safe, healthy, and environmentally sustainable, using a mix of engineering, architecture, and environmental science principles. This role is particularly important for organizations seeking to optimize buildings across multiple locations or during times when in-person site visits are challenging.

What is the difference between Remote Building Science vs Remote Building Envelope Specialist?

AspectRemote Building ScienceRemote Building Envelope Specialist
CredentialsBuilding science certifications, LEED, HVAC knowledgeBuilding science background, certifications in envelope systems
Work EnvironmentConsulting, research, project analysis remotely or on-siteDesign, assessment, and troubleshooting building envelopes remotely or on-site
Industry UsageBuilding consulting firms, energy efficiency projectsArchitectural firms, construction, retrofit projects
Search & ComparisonOften compared for building performance rolesCompared for envelope design and repair roles

Remote Building Science and Remote Building Envelope Specialist roles share overlapping skills in building performance and certifications. However, Building Science focuses broadly on overall building systems and energy efficiency, while Building Envelope Specialists concentrate specifically on the building's exterior and envelope systems. Both roles are vital in construction and retrofit projects, often working together to improve building performance remotely.

Job description

About TetraScience

TetraScience is the Scientific Data and AI Company building Tetra OS, the operating system for scientific intelligence. We help the world's leading life sciences firms turn fragmented scientific data into AI-native assets and scientific workflows that accelerate discovery, development, and manufacturing. TetraScience's growing ecosystem of strategic partners includes NVIDIA, Databricks, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Snowflake, Google, and Microsoft.

In connection with your candidacy, you will be asked to carefully review "The Tetra Way," authored by our CEO, Patrick Grady; it is impossible to overstate the importance of this document, and you should take it literally as you decide whether our mission, culture, and expectations are right for you.

Who You Are

You are a product-minded, outcome-obsessed driver of technical scientific solutions.

You a high velocity self-starter. You refuse to let uncertainty obstruct your path to designing and building solutions.

You roll up your sleeves, try things out, and get things done. You do not hesitate to prototype, demo, and build in order to accelerate delivery of products for your end users.

You thrive in environments where you can collaborate with scientists, product managers, and engineers to transform complex scientific data into actionable outcomes. Your ability to engage with scientists and business leaders alike makes you a key player in maximizing the value of scientific data.

With rich experience applying cutting edge data methodologies to the biopharma R&D domain, you bridge understanding between present-day pain points and generalizable solutions.

You are an insatiable learner, with a track record of deeply learning new tools, methods, and domains.

You fundamentally embody the principles of extreme ownership and have a demonstrated history of building extensible data models and applications for Biopharma end users to maximize value from their data via analysis and integration with AI/ML.

This role will require extreme self-discipline and determination as we forge a category that will fundamentally and forever change the life science industry.

What You Have Done
  • PhD with 5+ years / Masters with 7+ years of industry experience in life sciences  with extensive domain knowledge in drug discovery (target ID through lead optimization), preclinical development, CMC (all drug modalities), or product quality testing.
  • Proven track record of defining, designing, prototyping, and implementing productized AI/ML-driven use cases in cloud environments
  • Collaborated with cross-functional teams, including product managers, software engineers, and scientific stakeholders.
  • Performed extensive exploratory data analysis and workflow optimization to enable scientific outcomes not previously possible.
  • Engaged diverse audiences, from scientists to executive stakeholders using your excellent communication and storytelling abilities.
  • Advised scientists in a consulting capacity to further research, development, and quality testing outcomes.

Requirements

What You Will Do
  • You will be a critical team member in a unique partnership to industrialize Scientific AI. As such, you will engage directly with customers onsite up to 3-4 days per week in the Waltham Region, building strong relationships, deeply understanding their scientific data challenges and requirements, and accelerating solutions.
  • Design and implement extensible, reusable data models that efficiently capture and organize scientific data for scientific use cases, ensuring scalability and future adaptability.
  • Translate scientific data workflows into robust solutions leveraging the Tetra Data Platform.
  • Own, scope, prototype, and implement solutions including:
    • Data model design (tabular & JSON)
    • Python-based parser development.
    • Lab software (e.g., ELN/LIMS) integration via APIs.
    • Data visualization and app development in Python (using app frameworks like Streamlit and plotting tools like holoviews and Plotly) 
    • Collaborate with Scientific Business Analysts (SBAs), customer scientists and applied AI engineers to develop and deploy models (ML, AI, mechanistic, statistical, hybrid)
    • Programmatically interrogating proprietary instrument output files.
  • Dynamically iterate with scientific end users and technical stakeholders to rapidly drive solution development and adoption through regular demos and meetings
  • Proactively communicate implementation progress and deliver demos to customer stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with the product team to build and prioritize our roadmap by understanding customers' pain points within and outside Tetra Data Platform.
  • Rapidly learn new technologies (e.g., new AWS services or scientific analysis applications) to develop and troubleshoot use cases

Benefits

  • 100% employer-paid benefits for all eligible employees and immediate family members
  • Unlimited paid time off (PTO)
  • 401K
