Job Details

Job Location:

Raleigh - Raleigh, NC 27606

Travel Percentage:
Up to 50%

• Design complete commercial AV systems (conference rooms, boardrooms, training spaces, enterprise collaboration environments, etc.)
• Create AV signal flow diagrams, system drawings, and documentation (Visio and/or CAD)
• Review project scope, proposals, and kickoff info—then ask the right questions to clarify technical requirements and assumptions
• Select AV equipment and define system architecture that aligns with CTI standards, real-world constraints, and budgets
• Collaborate with Sales, Project Managers, BIM/CAD teams, architects, consultants, IT, and electrical stakeholders to keep designs coordinated and buildable
• Provide technical direction and quality assurance on drawings so the field can trust what’s on the page
• Support execution with answers and adjustments: field/programming questions, procurement clarifications/substitutions, and design updates due to site conditions or product availability

• Designs that install cleanly with minimal rework (aka fewer “uh-oh” moments on the jobsite)
• Clear, accurate documentation the field can trust (because good drawings make everyone’s day better)
• Projects that meet client expectations, CTI standards, and budget
• Strong collaboration across Sales, PMs, BIM/CAD, and field teams—with room for CTI’s “fun is mandatory” culture

• 3+ years designing commercial AV systems (not entry-level—bring your signal flow skills)
• Strong experience creating AV documentation/drawings (signal flow, system drawings, Visio/CAD)
• Comfort selecting equipment and building solutions that are practical, buildable, and aligned to standards/budget
• Communication skills that make cross-team coordination easy (you can translate tech to humans)
• A collaborative, supportive work style—independent when needed, curious enough to ask great questions
• Associate degree preferred (not required). Attitude and aptitude matter here.
