• Ability to validate that signals move correctly and systems are configured as designed
• Hands‑On Experience with Major Control & DSP Platforms
• Practical experience working with platforms such as Crestron, Q‑SYS, Biamp, Extron, or similar
• Ability to load existing code, adjust DSP blocks, verify control logic, and tune systems to specification
