Support continuous improvement of deployment processes and field documentation.
Qualifications:
Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field.
3+ years of experience deploying physical technology in occupied commercial buildings, such as IoT, low-voltage, security, AV, telecom, or building technology.
