Security Systems Designer

Location: Dallas–Fort Worth Area | Onsite

Join a top-tier security integration firm known for delivering cutting-edge physical and electronic security solutions across commercial and enterprise environments. This is an opportunity to work alongside elite engineers, designers, and technicians on sophisticated, real-world security projects that protect people, property, and critical infrastructure.

If you thrive at the intersection of technology, design, and real-world application, this role puts you at the heart of high-impact security solutions—from concept to installation.

Why This Role Is Exciting

You won’t be drafting cookie-cutter designs. You’ll be engineering real, complex security systems that include:

Access Control
CCTV / Video Surveillance
Intrusion Detection
Structured Cabling

You’ll collaborate closely with sales, engineering, and project teams to turn concept into reality—and you’ll occasionally get into the field to ensure your designs perform exactly as intended.

What You’ll Do

Design, engineer, and document physical security systems from concept through installation
Create detailed CAD drawings, layouts, risers, schematics, and wiring diagrams
Maintain organized, high-quality drawing standards and design templates
Perform site surveys to gather field data for system design and quoting
Support the sales team with technical input during proposal development
Interpret architectural plans, technical specs, and installation environments
Prepare accurate “as-built” drawings based on field markups
Collaborate with project managers, technicians, and engineers to ensure seamless execution
Stay current on evolving security technologies and best practices

What You Bring

Strong understanding of physical security systems (CCTV, Access Control, Intrusion, Cabling)
Ability to visualize technical system interactions before installation
Proficiency in AutoCAD (or similar CAD platform)
Strong understanding of floor plans, riser diagrams, wiring diagrams, and control layouts
High attention to detail with a strong sense of urgency
Ability to multitask, prioritize, and adapt quickly in a fast-moving environment
Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Minimum Qualifications

2+ years of technical education in electrical, electronic, or related systems (or equivalent experience)
Familiarity with local permitting requirements and code compliance
Strong time management and analytical skills
Valid Texas license (as required)
Willingness to travel locally for site surveys when needed

Preferred Experience

3+ years in electronic systems design and installation
1+ year of AutoCAD experience
Working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Visio, Teams)

Who Thrives Here

Problem-solvers who love turning complex concepts into clean, buildable designs
Detail-oriented professionals who take pride in accuracy and execution
Team players who communicate well and take ownership of their work
Designers who enjoy both desk work and occasional field interaction
