  • Conduct studies and electrical calculations for power systems, lighting simulations, lighting layouts, communications, fire alarm systems, security systems, and similar technical areas.

  • Develop white papers and technical documentation to support the firm's technical knowledge management (TKM) and conduct site reviews and studies to ensure designs align with location specifications. Submit technical papers and designs for publishing to technical journals.

  • Updates design requirements as necessary.

  • Attend conferences and symposia to improve the visibility of the firm's products and services in collaboration with applicable sales staff.

  • Perform other duties as required.

  • Mentor junior team members through technical guidance, training, and collaborative work reviews.
