Job Summary

Hi weareecobee.

ecobee introduced the worlds first smart Wi-Fi thermostat to help millions of consumers save money conserve energy and bring home automation into their lives. That was just the beginning. We continue our pursuit to create technology that brings peace of mind into the home and allows people to focus on the moments that matter most. We take pride in making a meaningful difference to the environment all while being part of the exciting connected home revolution.

In 2021 ecobee became a subsidiary of Generac Power Systems. Generac introduced the first affordable backup generator and later created the category of automatic home standby generator. The company is committed to sustainable cleaner energy products poised to revolutionize the 21st century electrical grid. Together we take pride in making a meaningful difference to the environment.

Why we love to do whatwe do:

Were helping build the world of tomorrow with solutions that improve everyday life while making a positive impact onthe planet.
