Installation Engineer (Security Technician)

About AirGarage

AirGarage is on a mission to bring real estate online, starting with parking.

We replace broken parking machines, fragmented software, and manual, labor-intensive operations with a unified, data-rich operating system for parking real estate. We handle everything it takes to run and optimize a parking asset: payments, dynamic pricing, enforcement, license plate recognition, analytics, and more.

By building all of our technology in-house, we are able to deliver a magical experience for drivers while providing real-time visibility and revenue increases of 20-50% or more for real estate owners. That’s why national real‑estate leaders like Hines and Greystar, as well as technology companies like Meta, partner with AirGarage to optimize their parking facilities.

AirGarage uses datapoints like real-time occupancy, local events, weather, driver behavior, competitor pricing, and more to bring true intelligence to real estate owners’ assets for the first time.

We’re investing aggressively to make the physical world legible to a digital system: cameras, sensors, and software that generate a firehose of real-time data about the world around us. That data fuels models and algorithms that allow us to optimize performance at each property while giving owners the clarity and control they’ve never had before.

Before you can optimize an asset, you need to observe it. Before you can observe it, you need to bring it online.

We are starting with the $131 billion US parking real estate market because it is one of the most offline and mismanaged commercial real estate asset types. 26% of the land area in the median American urban core is dedicated to parking.

We are backed by top tier investors including Headline Growth, Andreessen Horowitz, Floodgate, Founders Fund, Abstract Ventures, and angel investors who have founded or worked at companies like Uber, Opendoor, Flexport, and more.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for a versatile Installation Engineer with a background in low-voltage security systems, surveillance hardware, or access control technologies to join our growing hardware deployment team at AirGarage. In this role, you'll travel across the country to install, test, and optimize the next generation of our license plate recognition (LPR) systems and occupancy camera setups at parking facilities nationwide.

This isn’t just a wiring job, we need someone who understands why their work matters, can problem solve on the fly, and takes pride in making things not only functionally sound but also professionally executed. You’ll also work closely with our Hardware R&D teams to influence how our systems evolve to become more capable and easier and faster to install. The work you do will make a direct impact on the success of our facilities and help create a super smooth parking experience for our customers. As an early team member, the processes and standards you develop will help us continue to level up our effectiveness as we grow the organization.

This role is ideal for a security technician, field systems installer, or hardware engineer who thrives in dynamic environments and is excited to wear many hats as we build the future of automated parking. This role is not for someone who wants to wear one hat and stay in their comfort zone. There are many businesses that can provide that, AirGarage is not one of them. This position is for someone hungry to grow and learn new things, find creative ways to solve real problems, and actively contribute to building the business.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Travel independently (sometimes in teams) to installation sites across the U.S. This is a 100% travel role.

• Install and configure license plate recognition systems, occupancy cameras, and related hardware

• Conduct site surveys to determine optimal device placement and wiring needs

• Pull and terminate low-voltage wiring (Ethernet, coax, power) and ensure secure, weather-resistant connections via conduit and other methods.

• Drill and mount devices on a variety of surfaces (e.g. concrete poles, building facades, parking structures)

• Troubleshoot and resolve issues in the field (hardware, signal, power, alignment, etc.)

• Collaborate with engineering to suggest product improvements and document field feedback

• Maintain accurate job documentation and upda
