3d•$75,000 - $85,000

About The Position

The Technology Designer/Engineer will be part of EXP’s Technology Design team, based in the Orlando, Florida; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; or Los Angeles, California office. The role supports the design and specification of structured cabling, audio/visual, security, and other extra-low-voltage (ELV) systems. The designer/engineer prepares project documentation and coordinates with engineers and other disciplines, with engineering input where specified. The position requires strong communication, problem-solving, analytical, and organizational skills, the ability to manage multiple projects, and the ability to work virtually with teams across offices. The role uses REVIT and AutoCAD and involves applying relevant industry codes and standards, including NEC and FGI. The successful candidate will help develop equipment room sizes, calculate equipment electrical and cooling loads, prepare device layouts and cable pathways, create system riser diagrams, select and schedule equipment, and prepare drawing revisions and sketches. The position is intended for a candidate with an engineering degree and 0–2 years of experience.
