The company is involved in scientific missions, including space exploration projects with NASA, and aims to contribute to industrial growth through its engineered systems and advanced instrumentation.

📋 Description

• Teledyne FLIR is scaling its Early Fire Detection (EFD) portfolio — UL-listed thermal cameras that integrate directly into fire alarm control panels. • You will be the technical voice customers call when they need help specifying, designing-in, wiring-up, or commissioning an EFD system. • This is a hybrid technical/sales role. • You will partner closely with our Sales Director and Regional Sales Managers, but your charter is to make the technology work in the field, enable our integrator channel to succeed, and bring field intelligence back to Product Management. • Pre-Sales Application Engineering - Join sales calls to answer product application, code compliance (NFPA 72, UL 2684), and integration questions. • Integrator Enablement - Develop and deliver product training programs—remote and on-site—to enable fire protection industry to successfully design, sell and install FLIR thermal fire detection systems. • Design Assist - Review integrator drawings in Bluebeam, AutoCAD, and/or Revit and provide application guidance. • Sales Applications Support - Serve as Tier 2/3 applications support for FLIR EFD products, answering integrator and end-user questions on wiring, addressing, FACP integration, IP configuration, and commissioning. • Commissioning & Field Sales / Support - Travel on-site (25–35%) for first-article commissioning, integrator ride-alongs, and troubleshooting escalations. • Voice of the Field - Feed installer pain points, RMA trends, and code interpretation questions back to Product Management to shape the EFD roadmap.

🎯 Requirements

• Proficient in fire life safety technical support, applications engineering, or field commissioning — ideally at an FACP manufacturer (Notifier, Siemens, Honeywell, Bosch, Fike, Edwards) or a national integrator. • Hands-on experience commissioning fire alarm systems and troubleshooting FACP integration issues (SLC loops, relay logic, addressable devices, network modules). • Working knowledge of NFPA 72, UL 2684, 464, 864 and how AHJs interpret them. • NICET Level II or III in Fire Alarm Systems (Level III preferred). • Company will support path to CFPS (Certified Fire Protection Specialist). • Comfortable designing in Bluebeam, AutoCAD, and/or Revit. • Basic IP networking literacy (IP addressing, VLANs, PoE); willingness to grow into thermal/vision system expertise. • Strong written and verbal communicator — able to explain a wiring issue to a technician on a rooftop and a code interpretation to an FPE in the same afternoon. • Comfortable with 35% travel to customers, integrator sites, commissioning events, and trade shows. • Self-directed and effective working remotely within a collaborative, cross-functional team. • Nice to Have: Experience with thermal imaging, video-based fire detection, or aspirating smoke detection. • Experience supporting BESS, data center, warehouse, or industrial fire protection applications. • IP camera / VMS familiarity (ONVIF, RTSP, cloud-managed devices). • Prior involvement with NFPA technical committees, UL working groups, or code development. • Curriculum design or LMS experience for integrator training programs.

🏖️ Benefits

• Opportunity to develop your career with the international world leading company in thermal and sensing technology. • A unique opportunity to experience how cutting-edge sensor technology and software come together under one roof. • Friendly culture with a focus on collaboration, problem solving and creativity. • Work closely with Product management, Business Development, and Application Support. • Competitive compensation and benefits.
