Overnight Audio Visual Government Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Who We Are:

PEAKE is a technology integrator focused on bridging the gap between people, technology, and operations. For more than 20 years. PEAKEs team of experts in mobile infrastructure, communication systems, and enterprise operations has guided customers through the complex communications technology landscape to design and integrate advanced, end-to-end solutions that meet the technology and operational infrastructure needs of any scope and complexity.

Clearance Requirement

• U.S. Citizenship required
• Active DoD (TS/SCI) clearance required.
  

PEAKE is a proud recipient of the 2025 HIRE Vets Gold Medallion Award from the U.S. Department of Labor, the highest federal recognition for employers committed to veteran hiring, retention, and professional growth.

The Role

• As an Audio Visual Programmer at PEAKE, you'll work alongside a team of AV Engineers and Program Managers to deliver complete audio-visual systems to our customers from design and programming through installation, commissioning, and turnover. Equally important is the communication side. You'll be the connective tissue between the technical work and everyone who needs to know how it's going, coordinating with AV Engineers and field technicians on-site, keeping Program Managers informed on progress and blockers, and communicating directly with customers and external stakeholders about project status, timelines, and technical decisions. On-site, you'll often serve as the technical lead and primary point of contact, representing PEAKE in customer-facing government environments.

• Success in this role requires deep Crestron expertise, real installation experience, strong commissioning and troubleshooting instincts, and the kind of communication skills that keep projects moving and stakeholders aligned.This is a role for someone who isa programmer by trade but a competent installer by experience. Your primary craft is Crestron programming developing and modifying control code (SIMPL, SIMPL+, and/or C#/VC-4), configuring system functionality, and ensuring everything integrates per engineering specifications. But you've come up through the field, you know your way around a rack, and you're comfortable picking up tools and working through an installation start to finish when the job calls for it.

Primary Responsibilities:

Crestron Programming (Primary Craft)

• Serve as the subject matter expert for Crestron control system programming design, develop, and modify control code in SIMPL, SIMPL+, and/or C#/VC-4
• Configure and customize system functionality to meet engineering specifications and customer requirements
• Develop, modify, and troubleshoot Extron control system code (Global Configurator, Global Scripter, or similar) as projects require
• Build and maintain reusable code modules and standards that improve consistency across PEAKE projects

System Design & Documentation

• Design, read, and interpret system schematics, cable riser diagrams, and architectural drawings
• Translate engineering designs into working control systems and validate signal flow across AV, control, and network components
• Contribute to design reviews and flag programming or integration risks early

Installation & On-Site Execution

• Work alongside AV Engineers and field technicians to install AV systems from start to finish in customer environments
• Oversee equipment rack buildouts and staging wire lacing, grounding, power distribution, and hardware integration
• Terminate and test audio, video, network, control, and power cabling
• Mount and configure displays, video walls, microphones, speakers, and control interfaces as needed
• Maintain a clean, organized, and professional work environment on every job site

Commissioning & Troubleshooting

• Lead system commissioning testing, performance validation, and final turnover to the customer
• Troubleshoot complex issues across control, AV, and network systems, both remotely and on-site
• Validate that systems meet design and operational requirements before sign-off

Project Coordination & Communication

• Serve as the primary point of contact for customers and stakeholders
• Coordinate daily with AV Engineers and Program Managers to keep projects aligned with milestones

• Communicate project status, technical decisions, blockers, and timelines clearly to internal teams and external stakeholders
• Represent PEAKE professionally in customer-facing government and military environments
• Guide and support the field engineers on installation best practices and issue resolution

Education/Certifications:

• 6+ years of hands-on AV systems integration experience with a strong focus on Crestron programming (SIMPL, SIMPL+, and/or C# / VC-4)
• Proven experience developing, modifying, and troubleshooting Crestron control systems in complex environments
• Experience with Extron control systems (Global Configurator, Global Scripter, or similar)
  
• Strong understanding of AV system architecture, signal flow, and system integration
  
• Solid networking knowledge (TCP/IP, IP addressing) as it relates to AV systems
• AVIXA CTS certification preferred (CTS-I or CTS-D a plus)
  
• Manufacturer certifications (Crestron, Extron) are highly desired
  
• Strong communication and customer-facing skills, with experience working ingovernment or secure environments preferred

Compensation & Benefits:

• Competitive pay based on experience and qualifications
• Daily per diem allowance for work-related travel (aligned with GSA guidelines)

Physical & Travel Requirements:

• Ability to travel approximately 40% to customer sites nationwide, including throughout the DMV region and occasional international travel to Europe, to support and lead complex AV system installations and commissioning efforts.
• Willingness to work from PEAKE's Maryland headquarters as needed for team collaboration, project planning, staging, and customer support activities.
