While you will primarily work from our central campus in Ann Arbor, LSA offers some flexible work options. To support well-being, LSA has a communication standard that limits non-essential emails to weekday business hours.

You will join a team of experienced and passionate AV professionals to provide and advance AV system automation programming in LSA classrooms and conference rooms, and help contribute to the in-room technology experience by ensuring that integrated technology solutions perform as designed.

You will also follow established guidelines to implement proper IP address management, network configuration, and security measures.

Under the guidance of the Senior Project Engineers, your focus will be on system commissioning duties for complex integrated AV systems made up of 20+ core subsystems. This will include preparing automation programming (Crestron-based), installation completion, firmware management, configuration tasks on installed equipment, video and audio system performance verifications using proper test instruments, and ensuring the system functions as expected.

You will often delegate routine tasks to AV Technicians and elevate more advanced issues to the Senior Project Engineer leading the programming efforts. You will also contribute by performing troubleshooting and break/fix of programs as assigned.

At times, you will support complex AV projects across LSA and UM, assisting with system design, project leadership and management, installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Your work will be supported by a strong team culture that values feedback, collaboration, and continuous learning. You'll have dedicated time for professional development and growth through participation in some of the most exciting AV integration projects on campus.
