Hire HVAC Design Engineer

Traditional recruiting fees (20-30 % of first-year salary), signing bonuses, payroll taxes, benefits, and mandatory overhead push the fully-loaded cost of a senior HVAC developer above $160 k in most U.S. metros. Add a 3-6-month vacancy window and the price climbs further through lost productivity. When you Hire HVAC Design Engineer talent via smartbrain.io’s outstaffing model, you pay a transparent hourly rate that already includes sourcing, vetting, HR, equipment, and compliance. No placement fees, no bench cost when you scale down, and the first interview occurs in 48 hours—saving an average 38 % on year-one spend while keeping deliverables on track.

Every engineer signs a strict NDA and assignment-of-rights agreement before accessing your repository. Source code lives in your Git, and all workstations run enterprise-grade endpoint protection managed by our DevSecOps team. We provide optional bastion servers, role-based access control, and audit logs so you retain full chain-of-custody for drawings, BIM files, and firmware. smartbrain.io is SOC-2 Type II compliant, and our U.S. legal entity enforces contracts in your jurisdiction—meaning the same enforceability you expect from in-house staff.

No. We curate candidates able to overlap a minimum four-hour window with your core business hours. For 24/7 operations such as data centers, we can assemble follow-the-sun coverage so issues are resolved before your morning stand-up. All engineers participate in your chosen tooling—Slack, Teams, Jira—and adhere to sprint cadences, daily stand-ups, and on-call rosters exactly like an in-house hire.

Engagements start at one-month minimum with month-to-month extension. Need to pause? Provide 10 business-day notice—no penalties, no unused-hours clauses. For longer projects, we offer volume discounts and dedicated-team models with capped rates to protect budgets.

Each engineer passes a 4-stage process: bilingual screening, HVAC domain exam (ASHRAE, load calc, controls), live coding of control algorithms, and soft-skills interview with a former CTO. Only the top 3 % reach our client shortlist. You still run your own interviews to ensure team fit.

Our replacement guarantee covers the first 30 days at no extra cost. Notify your customer-success manager, and a new shortlist is delivered within 48 hours. Transition support ensures zero knowledge loss.

Average time to first commit is 3 business days post-offer. Because engineers are pre-provisioned with laptops, VPNs, and dev-tool licenses, onboarding overlaps only once—during your kickoff call. Clear early sprint goals ensure value from day one.
