Walter Moss — Founder, Inventor, Business & Systems Architect

Compensation

Revenue‑share from day one (no salary).
Company stock vests after a 120‑day probationary period, tied to performance milestones.

What You’re Really Signing Up For

Urbana Systems™ isn’t tinkering with incremental upgrades; we’re rebuilding the built environment around SmartWalls™—prefab, movable wall modules that pack:

Solid‑state TEC HVAC for near‑silent, duct‑free climate control

Integrated air & water purification loops
Potable‑water and power‑storage reservoirs
Private, on‑device AI for hyper‑local automation (no cloud reliance)
Dense sensor/actuator networks with fail‑safe redundancy
Transducers & on‑wall displays for ambient info and comms
Full lighting, comms, and building‑automation backbones

If the phrase “building‑scale cyber‑physical system” gets your blood pumping, keep reading.

Core Mandate

Own the Tech Stack – Architect, integrate, and continuously harden every subsystem inside SmartWalls™ and our broader conversion platform.
Crush Complexity – Translate wicked, multi‑domain problems (structure, MEP, firmware, AI, supply‑chain) into deployable, scalable solutions.
Build the Bench – Recruit and mentor a strike team of multidisciplinary engineers who can execute at startup speed with enterprise rigor.
Drive Revenue – Technology decisions must shorten conversion timelines, slash cap‑ex/op‑ex, and open new monetization channels.
Safeguard Compliance – Make sure every bolt, byte, and line of code passes PE seal, ADA, life‑safety, and sustainability thresholds.

Must‑Haves

Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) — civil, mechanical, electrical, or systems; multi‑state registration a plus.
20+ years engineering track record delivering products that shipped, scaled, and survived real‑world abuse.
Fluency across HVAC, power electronics/storage, embedded systems, IoT, low‑voltage, controls, and prefab manufacturing.
Documented wins in complex problem‑solving—think moon‑landing stuff, not corporate busywork.
Proven revenue impact: you’ve turned R&D into dollars, not just patents.
U.S. citizen or Permanent Resident. Remote‑first, but you travel when a site or factory needs boots on the ground.

Deal‑Breakers

If your expertise is confined to pure IT, data, or software, this isn’t your sandbox.
If you need corporate hand‑holding or a crystal‑clear playbook, look elsewhere—we’re writing the playbook as we go.

How to Throw Your Hat In

Send a concise résumé and a blunt cover note explaining:

How you’ve solved one cross‑disciplinary engineering problem that rivals SmartWalls™ in complexity.

How you will convert technology choices into measurable revenue within 6 or 12 months.
Respond the questions in a separate email to walter.moss@gmail.com with a brief description and concrete examples, failure to complete this step will result in immediate rejection of your application.
Skip the buzzwords; show the receipts.
