# Enterprise Security Systems Architect (Physical ) -Remote

- **Company:** Accliive Inc.
- **Location:** United States (Remote available)
- **Experience:** Expert
- **Contract:** Contract
- **Skills:** AutoCAD, Autodesk Revit, Network Security, Network Planning and Design, Expertise in Genetec Systems, Virtual Local Area Networks, Lenel, Bluebeam, Bicsi, Storage Technologies
- **Published:** October 31, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.dice.com/job-detail/c772811a-10d4-4994-af2d-f2cf1df631c8

## About the Role

* Overall 16+years and 8+ years designing physical security systems at enterprise or multi-site scale
 * A portfolio of issued design packages - drawings that an installing contractor built from without interpretation. Portfolio reviewed at interview
 * Working command of both the security platform layer and the network beneath it. This role sits on that seam; candidates strong on only one side will struggle in it
 * Current manufacturer certification on at least two of: Genetec, Lenel, Brivo, Axis, Avigilon, Verkada, Cisco Meraki
 * AutoCAD, plus Bluebeam or Revit
 * Familiarity with the governing standards - ONVIF, TIA/EIA structured cabling, NFPA, local AHJ requirements, and NDAA Section 889 where federal end-customers are in scope

Preferred

 * Design experience across multiple access control platforms, including integration between them
 * Background on an integrator's design or pre-construction desk
 * Multi-site retail or banking branch estates - distributed rollouts rather than single-campus
 * Active US security clearance
 * BICSI RCDD
 * ASIS PSP

## Description

Design authority for enterprise physical security deployments - surveillance, access control, and the supporting network - delivered as part of branch and campus technology programs across commercial and federal customers. This is a design seat. You own the package from site survey through issued-for-construction drawings and commissioning support. You do not install, and the role does not touch monitoring or post-deployment operations.

What you'll own

 * Site assessment and existing-condition survey; translating customer security requirements into a buildable design
 * Camera placement and coverage design - field of view, lens selection, pixel-per-foot against identification and recognition requirements, lighting and environmental conditions
 * Access control design - door schedules, reader and controller placement, lock hardware coordination, credential architecture, integration with existing head-end
 * VMS and storage architecture - retention modelling, bandwidth and throughput calculation, recorder and server sizing, failover
 * Supporting network design - PoE budgeting, switch and port counts, VLAN segmentation and isolation of the security network, IP schema, MDF and IDF layouts, cable paths and conduit routing
 * Issued design documentation - riser diagrams, device schedules, point-to-point drawings, elevations, bill of materials, specifications
 * Provisioning and commissioning requirements written into the package - authentication, certificate handling and device onboarding specified so the installing technician brings devices onto the network correctly the first time
 * Design-stage support to the installing contractor; review of as-builts and commissioning documentation
 * Gap analysis and capability mapping for customers standing up a security program, including migration paths off legacy or end-of-life platforms
