Sensor Integration Engineer II

ABOUT THIS ROLE

Every LVT unit in the field lives or dies on its cameras and sensors. As a Sensor Integration Engineer II (Camera Systems Test Engineer), you'll own how our IP camera, CCTV, and video surveillance systems get configured, commissioned, and qualified—PTZ, thermal imaging, and radar—before a single unit reaches a customer site. You'll build the test plans that catch failures in our American Fork lab instead of in a customer's parking lot, and the validation standards you set will scale across manufacturing and deployment. We hire this role from two backgrounds—security systems integration and hardware QA—and you don't need both.

This is an in-office role based in American Fork, Utah, where you'll collaborate closely with Hardware Engineering, Product Engineering, and Quality teams in our facility.

ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES

• Configure and commission IP camera and sensor systems—PTZ, thermal imaging, and radar—across LVT hardware platforms, from first bench bring-up to field-ready unit.
• Build structured test plans and written test cases that hold up across product lines, camera manufacturers, and firmware revisions.
• Execute qualification and regression test cycles against defined acceptance criteria, and make the call on whether a build passes.
• Validate real-world camera performance—field of view, focal length and zoom behavior, image quality, detection range, low-light and IR night vision performance—and prove it holds in rain, snow, dust, heat, and direct glare.
• Troubleshoot failures across the full stack—optics, hardware, firmware, and IP network—performing root cause analysis and documenting it so a defect gets fixed once instead of five times.
• Partner with Hardware Engineering, Product Quality Engineering (PQE), and Operations to clear sensor-level blockers and keep integration timelines on track through NPI (EVT/DVT/PVT) and into production.
• Automate the repetitive parts of validation and build the test tooling that makes the next qualification cycle faster than the last.
• Maintain sensor configuration baselines, test records, and validation documentation that outlive any one product generation.
• Mentor technicians on camera configuration, test methodology, and disciplined troubleshooting.

OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE

• Two Ways In: We're hiring this role from two different backgrounds. Come from either one and we'll teach you the other—tell us in your application which side you're strongest on.

  • Track A — Security Systems Integration: You've worked as a security camera technician, CCTV technician, low voltage technician, field service engineer, or security systems integrator, installing and commissioning IP camera systems on real customer sites—mounting, aiming, focusing, addressing, and tuning PTZ, thermal, and multi-sensor units until the picture is right. Experience with NVRs, VMS platforms, or access control is a plus.
  • Track B — Hardware Test & QA: You've worked as a hardware test engineer, product validation engineer, or hardware QA engineer on physical products—writing test plans, running structured test cycles against acceptance criteria, tracking defects to closure in a system like JIRA, and holding a quality bar when a ship date is pressing.

• Camera & Sensor Fluency: Working command of IP video surveillance fundamentals—ONVIF, RTSP, PoE, H.264/H.265 codecs and bitrate, IR illumination, lux ratings, and how lens choice and mounting geometry drive real field of view.

• Network Literacy: Comfortable with IP addressing, subnets, VLANs, DHCP, and bandwidth constraints—enough to tell a camera problem from a network problem without escalating.

• Root Cause Discipline: Strong system-level troubleshooting instincts and the patience to isolate an intermittent failure rather than swap parts until it goes away.

• Documentation That Scales: You write test procedures and configuration guides other people can actually follow, and you keep records current without being chased.

• Field-Ready: Comfortable working hands-on with hardware outdoors and in variable weather, including lifting equipment and working at height on units.

• Education & Experience: Bachelor's degree in a technical field, or 3+ years of hands-on experience in security system integration, camera commissioning, or hardware test.
