Electronic Security Systems Engineer
About The Position
Parsons is seeking an Electronics Security Systems Engineer to support and lead the design of complex Electronic Security Systems (ESS) for Department of Defense, Army Corps of Engineers, and Department of State customers. The role covers the design process from initial concepts and site surveys through design development and release for construction. Work is remote unless a client requests a site visit for coordination or construction support. The engineer interprets customer statements of work, specifications, and requirements and translates them into compliant ESS designs. The role also involves coordinating with CADD designers, project managers, and network engineers; preparing construction documents and bills of materials; reviewing heat and power load calculations; planning and scheduling work packages; and supporting installation, integration, and testing. The engineer applies existing knowledge to become proficient with newly developed components and systems.
