Whether you're on the front lines with customers or behind the scenes making things run, your work helps people connect, collaborate, and get things done. From classrooms to control centers, we design and deliver the systems that power smarter, more connected workplaces - and it all starts with the people who make them possible. FORTÉ (formerly AVI Systems) is a 100% employee-owned company with 50+ years of experience and a bold new identity.This position supports a large, highly secure semiconductor manufacturing campus with strict onboarding, badging, safety, and site-access requirements.

questions, documenting issues, and following through without needing constant direction.

This is a highly independent, customer-facing role that requires someone who arrives with strong technical ability and can effectively speak to and coordinate with customer stakeholders and remote team members. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working as a third-party resource in an environment with limited onsite peer support, high standards for responsiveness and presentation, and specific processes that may differ from typical project environments.

 * Provide technical expertise to support the architecture, installation and planning of audio, video and control solutions
 * Completes documentation with a high degree of quality and follows Technical Services Standards. Services include CAD drawings (flows, plans, elevations, details), system descriptions, equipment research, selection, custom product design and system integration.
 * Research and analyze the capabilities of available hardware and software options
 * Design audiovisual systems of various hardware and software components that work together as one integrated system and that meet customer's specific needs
 * Support projects and our team throughout the implementation process.
