Solutions Engineer- South Central
Supervision: Reports to the Solutions Engineering Manager
About the role
The Solutions Engineer serves as ViewSonic's dedicated technical resource for the Southeast/South‑Central United States region, supporting direct‑view LED (dvLED) and broader ProAV solutions across the full project lifecycle—from pre‑sales technical discovery through installation, commissioning, and post‑sale support. This is a hands‑on role: the Solutions Engineer is expected to perform physical installation and commissioning work personally, not only to advise on it, while also carrying traditional pre‑sales solutions engineering responsibilities such as technical discovery, design validation, and customer‑facing demonstrations. The position expands ViewSonic's Solutions Engineering presence in one of the fastest‑growing commercial AV markets in the country.
Responsibilities
- Partner with sales and channel teams during the pre‑sales process to assess customer requirements and design appropriate dvLED and ProAV solutions.
- Conduct on‑site technical discovery, site surveys, and installation‑readiness assessments.
- Perform hands‑on installation and commissioning of dvLED systems, including cabinet alignment, calibration, signal processing configuration, and system integration.
- Serve as a technical escalation point during and after installation, coordinating with service, engineering, and product teams as needed.
- Deliver product demonstrations and proofs of concept for prospective customers and channel partners.
- Build and maintain relationships with integrators, consultants, and end customers across the Southeast/South‑Central region.
- Provide technical training and enablement to channel partners and internal sales teams, including developing training materials and solution documentation for internal and external audiences.
- Document site conditions, installation outcomes, and commissioning results in accordance with company standards.
- Represent ViewSonic in a growing regional market spanning corporate, healthcare, and education verticals.
- Represent ViewSonic at industry trade shows and events (e.g., InfoComm), including booth setup, show‑floor engagement, and teardown.
