Position Overview

This is where you stop drafting systems-and start architecting them. As a Senior Technology Designer, you will lead the design and integration of low-voltage building systems that form the digital backbone of modern facilities. From high-density wireless networks to fully integrated AV and security platforms, you'll take ownership of complex, project-critical technology scopes that directly impact how buildings function.

This role is built for someone who wants influence-not just execution. You'll operate as a technical lead and client-facing consultant, shaping system strategies, guiding project teams, and elevating internal standards. Backed by a multidisciplinary engineering environment, you'll have the platform to refine processes, mentor junior staff, and build a long-term footprint in building technology design.

Core Responsibilities

• Lead client consultations and user needs analysis to translate operational requirements into scalable low-voltage system designs
• Architect integrated technology systems, including structured cabling, wireless infrastructure, audiovisual, and electronic security
• Coordinate closely with MEP, structural, and civil teams to ensure seamless system integration across all disciplines
• Manage the full lifecycle of technology scopes, from concept design through construction administration and closeout
• Develop and refine internal design standards, workflows, and documentation practices to enhance efficiency and quality
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior designers, elevating team capability and consistency
• Perform field investigations, troubleshooting, and system validation to ensure installations meet design intent
• Maintain ownership of deliverables, ensuring accuracy, constructability, and alignment with project timelines

Required Qualifications

• Experience: 5+ years designing low-voltage building systems within the AEC environment
• Education: Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Engineering Technology preferred
• Certifications: RCDD (Registered Communications Distribution Designer) and/or CTS (Certified Technology Specialist) required
• Technical Expertise:
  • Strong understanding of low-voltage systems (typically ≤50V), including structured cabling, AV, security, and telecommunications infrastructure
  • Knowledge of pathways, spaces, grounding/bonding, and coordination with electrical power systems
• Documentation: Expertise in producing high-quality construction documents and specifications for technology systems
• Authorization: Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship

Preferred Qualifications

• Manufacturer certifications (Crestron, AMX, QSC, Biamp, Extron)
• Experience managing technology-only scopes within multidisciplinary projects
• Advanced field troubleshooting and system commissioning experience
• Familiarity with codes and standards such as TIA/EIA, BICSI, and NEC (Article 725, 770, etc.)
