• Configure and tailor system functionality to align with engineering specifications and customer needs.

• Develop, adjust, and troubleshoot Extron control system code (Global Configurator, Global Scripter, or similar) as project requirements dictate.

• Create and uphold reusable code modules and standards that enhance consistency across PEAKE projects.

• System Design & Documentation.

• Design, read, and interpret system schematics, cable riser diagrams, and architectural plans.

• Transform engineering designs into functional control systems and verify signal flow across AV, control, and network components.

• Participate in design reviews and identify programming or integration risks at an early stage.

• Installation & On-Site Execution.

• Collaborate with AV Engineers and field technicians to install AV systems from inception to completion in customer settings.

• Supervise equipment rack buildouts and staging — including wire lacing, grounding, power distribution, and hardware integration.

• Install and configure displays, video walls, microphones, speakers, and control interfaces as required.

• Ensure a clean, organized, and professional work environment at all job sites.

• Commissioning & Troubleshooting.

• Troubleshoot intricate issues across control, AV, and network systems, both remotely and on-site.

• Confirm that systems fulfill design and operational requirements prior to sign-off.

• Project Coordination & Communication.

• Act as the primary liaison for customers and stakeholders.

• Coordinate daily with AV Engineers and Program Managers to ensure projects stay on track with milestones.

• Clearly communicate project status, technical decisions, obstacles, and timelines to internal teams and external stakeholders.

• Represent PEAKE with professionalism in customer-facing government and military settings.

• Mentor and assist field engineers on installation best practices and problem resolution.

⛳️ Requirements

• Familiarity with Extron control systems (Global Configurator, Global Scripter, or similar).

• Comprehensive understanding of AV system architecture, signal flow, and system integration.

• Solid knowledge of networking (TCP/IP, IP addressing) as it relates to AV systems.

• AVIXA CTS certification preferred (CTS-I or CTS-D is a plus).

• Manufacturer certifications (Crestron, Extron) are highly sought after.

• Excellent communication and customer-facing skills, with experience in government or secure environments preferred.
