Produce detailed design packages using AutoCAD or Visio, including system layouts, schematics, block diagrams, and supporting technical documentation.
Collaborate with estimating and project stakeholders by preparing material quantities, contributing labor insights, and reviewing plans for constructability.
Coordinate design intent with architectural documents and other trades to help ensure successful installation in the field.
Support installation teams during project execution by answering engineering questions and helping resolve design-related issues.
Lead or assist with commissioning activities such as DSP adjustment, control system checks, signal path verification, calibration, and overall performance testing.
Diagnose and correct technical issues that arise during the final phase of deployment to confirm systems are operating as intended.
Conduct client walkthroughs, provide end-user training, and serve as a technical point of contact to support successful project handoff.

Required certification in Q-SYS Level 1 or an equivalent manufacturer credential relevant to AV system deployment.
