Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced Genetec Lead Engineer / Physical Security Systems Integration Manager to lead the design, integration, implementation, and technical management of a large-scale enterprise physical security technology program.

The ideal candidate will have extensive hands‑on experience with Genetec Security Center, enterprise video management, access control, system federation, networked security systems, PACS/PIV, cybersecurity, and operational technology (OT) environments.

This position will serve as a key technical leader and will be responsible for ensuring that the solution meets contractual, technical, cybersecurity, quality, and operational requirements.

The successful candidate must be capable of working in a complex enterprise environment involving multiple independently operated security systems while maintaining local system functionality and operational continuity.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the Genetec technical lead for the project and primary technical resource for Genetec Security Center.
• Lead the architecture, design, configuration, integration, testing, commissioning, and deployment of enterprise physical security systems.
• Design and implement Genetec Security Center solutions, including:
• Video Management Systems (VMS)
• Access Control Systems
• Security Center architecture
• Enterprise integrations
• Develop and implement architectures that allow multiple independently operated Genetec systems to be federated while preserving local operations.
• Provide technical leadership to network, systems, PACS/PIV, cybersecurity, VMS, IDS, PA/MNS, and other technical personnel.
• Coordinate with project management, engineering, cybersecurity, quality assurance, subcontractors, vendors, and client representatives.
• Support system integration, testing, troubleshooting, commissioning, and acceptance activities.
• Ensure system designs comply with applicable contractual, cybersecurity, quality, licensing, and regulatory requirements.
• Review technical documentation, drawings, network diagrams, configuration documentation, testing procedures, and system architecture.
• Participate in risk assessments, design reviews, technical meetings, and project planning.
• Support cybersecurity requirements for enterprise physical-security and operational-technology systems.
• Provide technical guidance regarding network segmentation, system hardening, authentication, access control, logging, monitoring, and secure system architecture.
• Support training and knowledge transfer for system operators, administrators, and technical personnel.
• Assist with development and maintenance of system documentation and as-built records.
• Ensure all work performed by employees and subcontractors complies with applicable licensing and certification requirements.
• Maintain continuity of technical leadership throughout the project.

Required Qualifications

• Current Genetec certifications applicable to Security Center, including relevant certifications for:
• Security Center
• Video
• Access Control
• Proposed system architecture
• Demonstrated experience designing, installing, configuring, and commissioning enterprise Genetec Security Center systems.
• Recent experience implementing a central Genetec Security Center platform.
• Demonstrated experience federating at least three independently operated Genetec systems while maintaining local system operations.
• Strong understanding of Genetec Security Center architecture, federation, video, access control, servers, databases, networking, and enterprise integrations.

Cybersecurity / OT Security

• Current CISSP, CISM, or equivalent cybersecurity credential.
• Documented experience securing enterprise physical-security systems and/or operational-technology (OT) environments.
• Experience equivalent to GICSP, ISA/IEC 62443, or comparable OT cybersecurity qualifications.
• Understanding of cybersecurity principles applicable to physical security and critical infrastructure systems.
• Experience with network segmentation, system hardening, authentication, access management, vulnerability management, and secure system architecture.
• Strong understanding of enterprise networking and systems infrastructure.
• Experience working with servers, databases, virtualization, storage, network architecture, and enterprise security systems.
• Ability to work effectively with Network Engineers, Systems Engineers, Cybersecurity personnel, and Physical Security teams.

Preferred Experience

• Experience with large government, federal, military, critical infrastructure, healthcare, transportation, or other highly regulated security environments.
• Experience integrating multiple physical security technologies and platforms.
• PACS/PIV experience.
• Experience with intrusion detection systems (IDS).
• Experience with public address/mass notification systems (PA/MNS).
• Experience with enterprise video surveillance systems.
• Experience working under government contracts or federal security requirements.

Required Professional Capabilities

The successful candidate should be capable of serving in or supporting multiple project roles, including:

• Project Manager
• Genetec Lead Engineer
• PACS/PIV Specialist
• VMS/IDS/PA-MNS Specialist
• Cybersecurity Lead
