Description
Own the technical truth - from discovery through commissioning.
The Sales Design Engineer (SE) is responsible for technical discovery, system design, and scope definition for Pro A/V integration projects. You partner closely with Sales to shape solutions that are buildable, supportable, and profitable — and you remain accountable through commissioning to ensure systems perform as designed.
You do not carry a sales quota. You do carry responsibility for technical accuracy, clarity at handoff, and system performance.
This role is ideal for a senior designer, engineer, or field leader who wants to influence outcomes upstream and ensure what gets sold can be delivered cleanly.
What You'll Own
- Lead technical discovery alongside Sales during client meetings and site walks
- Define system architecture, signal flow, and design intent across audio, video, lighting, and control
- Develop clear, buildable scopes of work and system designs
- Select equipment and platforms appropriate to use case, budget, and long-term support
- Produce or review system documentation (single-lines, risers, rack concepts, narratives)
- Validate feasibility, risk, and assumptions prior to proposal submission
- Sign off on technical scope at handoff
- Partner with Project Managers and Install Leads during execution
- Remain accountable through commissioning to verify systems meet design intent
