Technology Experience
Experience with Savant, Crestron Home, Lutron HomeWorks, RadioRA, Ketra, Control4, UniFi, IP audio, surveillance and access control is highly valued. You do not need every platform; we value strong fundamentals, problem-solving ability and a desire to keep learning.
Why LIGHTWORKS?
