Physical Security Engineer

Overview Job Skills / Requirements We're looking for a hands-on Physical Security Engineer to join our Chesterfield, MO technology lab. You'll work closely with our engineering team based overseas- collaborating remotely on system builds, troubleshooting, and iterative development - while serving as the on-the-ground technical presence in the US for prototype assembly, lab work, and enterprise deployments. This is a build-first role. You'll be engineering systems, not just configuring them. If you're the kind of person who designs a jig when a task needs one, reverse-engineers a vendor's protocol to make it fit, or won't leave a rack until the cable management is clean - we want to talk to you. JOB RESPONSIBILITIES Build and deploy enterprise physical security systems (IP cameras, sensors, access control, edge devices, PoE networks) Perform hands-on hardware integration: enclosures, cabling, rack builds, power, and mechanical assembly Prototype new security and detection solutions using CAD and 3D printing Commission, test, and document deployed systems at customer sites Collaborate with global engineering teams as the on-site U.S. technical lead Troubleshoot sensors, embedded hardware, IP networking, and Linux-based edge devices Evaluate and integrate security technologies, vendors, and VMS platforms Maintain lab operations, inventory, SOPs, and installation documentation REQUIREMENTS 3+ years of hands-on experience in physical security systems engineering, electromechanical integration, or a related hardware discipline Demonstrated ability to build and troubleshoot systems involving sensors, embedded hardware, edge computing, or custom electronics Proficiency with CAD tools (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or similar) for mechanical design and fab
