Security Systems Engineer
Location
Addis Ababa / project sites
Engagement
Depends on current need
iSense Technologies designs, supplies, integrates, commissions and supports physical-security systems across Ethiopia — CCTV and video surveillance, access control, biometric time attendance, intrusion and fire alarm, screening, and the workforce systems that sit alongside them. The work is practical: sites are surveyed, systems are designed around them, and someone has to keep them running afterwards.
About this work
The engineering side is where a design becomes a working system. Configuration, integration, commissioning and fault finding across surveillance, access control, alarm and screening equipment all sit here, and so does the judgement about what a site actually needs.
This role suits someone who thinks in systems rather than devices, is comfortable being the person who signs off that something works, and would rather trace a fault to its cause than reset it. Site work and travel are part of it.
This is not a ticket-driven role. We work in small project teams where engineers have full context, real ownership, and direct input on what gets built next.
What You Will Work On
Configure, integrate and commission surveillance, access control, alarm and screening systems
Diagnose faults across devices, cabling, network and configuration, and fix the cause
Prove the system against the design at handover, and document what was installed
Coordinate installation, integration, testing, and commissioning
Support installed systems, including work on systems originally installed by others
Help define engineering standards and review the work of peers
What We Are Looking For
