Avigilon Security Solutions Specialist

ABOUT THE ROLE

Aerowave Technologies is seeking a Security Solutions Specialist to serve as our on-the-ground expert in enterprise video surveillance deployments. You will be the technical backbone of our security practice - bridging pre-sales design with real-world installation outcomes - with a primary focus on Avigilon-based solutions.

This role is ideal for someone who is equally comfortable walking a rooftop to document camera sightlines as they are sitting across from a client explaining system architecture. You will work closely with our sales, project management, and engineering teams to deliver solutions that are accurate in scope, sound in design, and successful in the field.
