• Develop, document, and articulate video surveillance system architectures, ensuring compatibility with network capacity, scope of work (SOW), and customer specifications.
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor to internal and external stakeholders, communicating key technological capabilities and value propositions.
• Conduct product testing, lead technical demonstrations, and implement system modifications following strict change control procedures.
• Partner closely with project management, subcontractors, and Motorola Technical Support to drive post-sales execution and meet project milestones.
