JOB DESCRIPTION:

As we expand our footprint, we are looking for a high-caliber AV & Collaboration Engineer. They will be a core member of the global engineering team focused on product/ technology evaluation, design, and leading deployments. They will act as a technical authority in-region driving the adoption of next generation workplace technologies while ensuring local deployments meet global standards. This is not a traditional support role – they will be a core member of the global engineering team while also leading regional deployments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Technology Evaluation & Innovation
• Partner with the global AV & Collaboration engineering team to evaluate emerging conference room and workplace technologies.
• Design and execute proof-of-concept (PoC) testing in regional lab environments to validate performance, security, and network compatibility.
• Lead regional pilot deployments, collecting user feedback and technical metrics to inform and refine global AV standards.
• Act as a regional technical authority for next-generation workplace collaboration tools.
• Design, Standards & Engineering
• Collaborate on the creation of standardized AV “building blocks” for multiple space types (huddle rooms, meeting rooms, training spaces, executive boardrooms).
• Develop, maintain, and review technical documentation including:
• Signal flow diagrams
• Wiring schematics
• Configuration and commissioning guides
• Ensure all regional deployments adhere to global AV, networking, security, and aesthetic standards.
• Translate architectural drawings into deployable AV system designs.
• Deployment Execution & Delivery
• Lead or heavily support the deployment of new AV and collaboration spaces, from single room builds to large-scale rollouts (hundreds of rooms).
• Partner with business stakeholders to scope requirements, select equipment, and manage installation activities.
• Validate completed builds through testing, commissioning, and user acceptance.
• Support remediation, cleanup, and stabilization of legacy or inconsistent AV deployments.
• Regional Technical Leadership & Escalation
• Serve as the Tier 3 escalation point for complex AV and collaboration issues beyond standard operational troubleshooting.
• Provide engineering-level guidance and problem resolution for systemic or recurring issues.
• Act as the technical liaison between internal teams, AV integrators, manufacturers, and vendors.
• Ensure integrators and vendors deliver projects in accordance with engineering specifications and standards.
  
  

Key Requirements:

• Applicants must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the U.S. This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
  
  

Technical Expertise

• Deep hands-on expertise in enterprise AV systems and collaboration environments.
• Strong knowledge of:
• Video conferencing systems and AV-over-IP architectures
• Audio DSP concepts and tuning
• AV control systems
• Advanced experience with Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR) and/or Zoom Rooms, including backend management and configuration.
• Proficiency with Cisco Control Hub and Cisco Call Manager.
• Experience deploying and supporting:
• Professional-grade DSPs
• PTZ cameras
• Beamforming microphones
• Large-format displays and/or active LED video walls
• Ability to read and interpret architectural drawings, AV schematics, and signal flow diagrams.
  
  

Implementation & Engineering Skills

• Proven hands-on deployment experience; background with an AV integrator or large enterprise environments strongly preferred.
• Ability to balance execution-focused work with engineering oversight and standards development.
• Strong troubleshooting skills across AV, UC, and integrated networked environments.
• Networking fundamentals (multicast, VLANs, QoS) considered a strong plus.
  
  

Work Style & Personal Attributes

• Self-starter capable of operating independently as a remote extension of a global engineering team.
• Comfortable working across multiple time zones with minimal supervision.
• Strong documentation, communication, and stakeholder-engagement skills.
• Ability to drive consistency, quality, and scalability across regional deployments.
