Job description

This role sits at the intersection of software development and systems integration. You’ll program the “brain” of estates and commercial spaces—tying together lighting, climate, AV, security, and shading into a seamless experience controlled from a single interface—and own each system through its full life: design review, programming, commissioning, client training, and the updates that keep it great for years.

•Program and configure Crestron control systems (Crestron Home, SIMPL Windows, SIMPL#, SIMPL#Pro, Crestron) for residential estates and commercial facilities.

•Develop the control logic that unifies AV, lighting, climate, security, and shading into a single intuitive interface for the end

user.

•Program and configure digital signal processors (DSPs)—primarily Biamp—for audio routing, mixing, and processing.

•Design clean, client-ready touch panel and interface experiences with clear room, source, and scene names.

Write custom drivers and integration code in Crestron / SIMPL# for third-party devices and subsystems.

•Commission systems on-site and remotely, support them through our Loyalty Care program, and partner with project

managers and technicians to pinpoint whether an issue is programming, wiring, networking, equipment, or design.

The Technology You’ll Work With:

Crestron - Crestron Home, Toolbox, processors, touch panels, keypads, lighting & shade integration, DM/NVX/NAX, diagnostics, and SIMPL / SIMPL# / C# where applicable.

AV Systems - Audio & video signal flow, HDMI/HDCP/EDID, distributed audio, surround sound, displays, projectors, matrix switching, DSP, and rack layout.

Networking - DHCP & static IPs, subnetting and VLAN awareness, multicast/IGMP, mDNS, device discovery, and remote-access tools such as OvrC.

Integrations - Lutron, Sonos, Josh.ai, Biamp, Q-SYS, Alarm.com, security & surveillance, HVAC, pool/spa, motorized screens, lifts, and shades.

Qualifications

Required:

• Solid Crestron experience—object-oriented design, clean and maintainable code, methodical debugging.
• Ability to read system block diagrams or signal-flow documentation.
• A strong desire to build a career in automation control

Preferred (we’ll teach the rest)

• Crestron SIMPL Windows, SIMPL#, or SIMPL#Pro— certification (or the willingness to pursue it) a plus.

• DSP programming—Biamp (Tesira/Audia), QSC Q-SYS, BSS, or similar.

• AV signal-flow fundamentals (HDMI/HDBaseT, audio routing, switching)

• Other control platforms (AMX, Savant, Control4)

• Networking basics (TCP/IP, VLANs)—control systems live on networks
