Security Systems Design Engineer

Victor, NY | Full-Time

Are you an experienced MEP engineer, architectural designer, fire system designer, or low voltage designer who thrives on independence, precision, and purpose-driven work? At IK Systems, we're looking for a Security Systems Design Engineer to create the design and documentation of integrated security solutions - including access control, surveillance, intrusion detection, structured cabling, and more.

This is more than a drafter role. You'll own the drawing process, collaborate with sales, and guide technical designs that power security infrastructure for critical clients. If you know Revit inside and out, are a CAD designer or a BIM coordinator, have low voltage system design experience, and are ready for a role where you set the pace - let's talk.

• Create and manage detailed Revit-based technical drawings for integrated security and structured cabling systems

• Partner with sales engineers during proposal phases to develop system layouts, schematics, and riser diagrams

• Interpret client requirements, field data, and specifications to produce accurate, code-compliant designs

• Deliver submittal and as-built documentation in coordination with engineering and operations teams

• Own your workload and project timelines with autonomy, while collaborating cross-functionally to deliver successful solutions

• 5+ years of drafting/design experience, preferably in low voltage or systems integration

• Advanced Revit proficiency is essential, with ability to work in a BIM environment

• Understanding of low voltage systems, including CCTV, access control, intercom, intrusion detection, and structured cabling

• Knowledge of ANSI/TIA standards (568, 569, 606)

• Hold NICET or alarm certification

• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and documentation skills

• Ability to work independently and proactively across departments

• Valid Driver's License required

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field - or equivalent combination of relevant experience, certifications, and demonstrated Revit proficiency.

We are a trusted leader in mission-critical low voltage system design and integration, known for our technical depth, collaborative culture, and commitment to quality. You'll work on meaningful projects and grow within a team that values expertise, ownership, and long-term success.

We offer:

• Competitive salary range: $95,000-$125,000 based on experience

• Health, dental, and vision insurance

• Simple IRA with company match

• Generous paid time off & holidays

• Professional development opportunities in a fast-evolving industry

IK Systems provides tailored low voltage security solutions for clients who prioritize protection and performance. From conceptual design to implementation, we partner with integrators, manufacturers, and facility leaders to create secure, intelligent environments.
