Technology Design Engineer

FinePoint Technology is a building intelligence engineering firm serving architects, owners, and contractors. We don’t install — we design, consult, and ensure building technology works as intended.
No Parts. Just Smarts. From strategic planning through construction administration and ongoing support, we provide unbiased expertise on audiovisual, telecommunications, security, and building technology systems in corporate, healthcare, education, and government environments.

We’re looking for someone who’s been designing technology systems — whether AV, telecom, or security — and wants to bring that expertise to the consulting side of the table. If you’ve ever thought, “I wish the design consultant had actually understood how these systems work,” this is your chance to be that consultant.

We are seeking an experienced Technology Design Engineer to join our Design & Engineering department. This role focuses on creating comprehensive technology system designs for commercial environments — with emphasis on audiovisual systems, low‑voltage infrastructure, and/or electronic safety & security (ESS) design. You’ll produce construction‑ready documentation — drawings, specifications, and coordination sets — that architects, contractors, and owners depend on to build technology into their facilities.

This is a consulting and design role. You’ll be the technology engineer of record across diverse project types, applying your systems knowledge to create designs that are coordinated, code‑compliant, and constructable.

• Create comprehensive technology system designs including AV, structured cabling, telecommunications, and/or security system packages through all AEC project phases (SD, DD, CD, CA)
• Prepare detailed technical drawings using AutoCAD and Revit, with Bluebeam for markup, review, and coordination
• Develop system specifications, equipment schedules, cable schedules, riser diagrams, and installation details
• Ensure designs comply with applicable industry standards (TIA/EIA, BICSI, NFPA, NEC) and local building codes
• Develop project budgets and provide cost estimation support for technology systems

• Review architectural, mechanical, and electrical plans to coordinate technology system routing, space requirements, and infrastructure needs
• Perform site surveys to assess existing conditions and develop technology requirements with clients
• Coordinate with architects, engineers, contractors, and vendors throughout the project lifecycle
• Participate in design team meetings, construction administration, and project closeout activities

• Serve as a subject matter expert in one or more technology disciplines: audiovisual, telecommunications/structured cabling, or electronic safety & security
• Research and evaluate emerging technologies to inform client recommendations and design standards
• Provide technology planning input during programming and schematic design phases
• Support quality assurance and quality control procedures for all technology design deliverables
• Maintain current knowledge of industry standards, codes, and product developments
• Work collaboratively within multidisciplinary project teams alongside designers, engineers, and project managers
• Communicate effectively with clients, design team members, vendors, and contractors regarding design intent and technical requirements
• Contribute to internal knowledge sharing, design standards development, and template improvement

• 3–7 years of experience in technology system design — at a consulting firm, systems integrator, manufacturer, or engineering firm
• Demonstrated experience producing construction‑level documentation for AV, telecom/structured cabling, or security systems in commercial environments
• Associate or bachelor’s degree in Engineering Technology, Electronics, IT, or a related field preferred — equivalent experience with a strong portfolio will be considered

• Proficiency in AutoCAD for technology design and documentation (required)
• Working proficiency in Revit/BIM for 3D coordination and modeling (required)
• Proficiency in Bluebeam Revu…
