• Coordinate with internal technical and customer-facing teams when escalations are required.
• Ensure deployed devices reliably report accurate data to cloud or building management systems.
• 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.
