Engineer-Design
Core
Technical lead for designing complex networked fire alarm, life safety, and emergency responder radio communication systems (ERRCS/BDA) ensuring full code compliance.
Role type
Senior IC fire alarm and life safety systems design engineer
Builds
Permit-ready design packages, equipment submittals, and construction-ready documentation for fire detection and suppression systems
Domain
Fire safety engineering and life safety systems
Deliverable
production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work -> production ML models (Incorrect mapping in thought, correcting to: production ML models is wrong, this is infrastructure/design deliverables. Let's use 'production ML models' as a placeholder? No, the instruction says 'one of: ...'. The list is fixed. I must choose the closest fit or omit if none fit perfectly? The instruction says 'one of: ...'. I must pick one. 'infrastructure' is the closest for design systems, or 'product features' if considering the system as a product. Let's look at the list again: 'production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work'. This role designs systems. 'infrastructure' is often used for backend/ops. 'product features' is for software. 'client delivery' is for consulting. 'physical/clinical work' is for hardware/medical. This is a design role for physical systems. None fit perfectly. However, 'infrastructure' is often used for building systems. Let's select 'infrastructure' as the design of building systems falls under infrastructure in many taxonomies, or 'product features' if the system is a product. Given 'VESDA' and 'Fire Alarm', these are physical systems. I will choose 'infrastructure' as it relates to building systems.
