The Role

A programmer who writes code so good the technology disappears.

At QAV, the best work is the work no one notices. You’ll bring lighting, audio, video, shades, and control together into a single experience — the scene that answers to one word, the home that simply works. When it’s right, no one thinks about the system. They just live in a home that seems to anticipate them. That’s the bar, and it’s a good one to chase.

A Week In The Work

What you’d actually be doing.

Monday
Programming a Crestron or Lutron system in our facility, long before it ever reaches the home.
Tuesday
Building the scenes, schedules, and interfaces that make a home feel intuitive and alive.
Wednesday
Testing everything by hand, in person. No shortcuts — that discipline is the entire point.
Thursday
On site, tuning a system until the light, the sound, and the shades feel exactly right.
Friday
Documenting your work cleanly, so the home stays easy to care for for years.
What You Bring

The kind of person who fits here.

Hands-on experience programming residential control systems — Crestron, Lutron, or an equivalent platform.
A logical, detail-driven mind, paired with a real feel for how people actually live in a home.
The discipline to test thoroughly, so the client never finds the bug.
Strong communication, and the patience to refine until it feels right.
Certifications are a plus, and we’ll invest in more. Training is part of the job.
What We Bring

What you get in return.

A competitive base salary, set to your skill and experience — and a place built for people who take the craft seriously.

Who We Are

Built on an engineer’s standard.

Remember the homes in the movies — the ones that seemed to think for themselves? Two decades ago that was science fiction. Today we build it for real, in some of the finest homes in Colorado.

QAV began in the mind of an engineer who couldn’t accept “good enough.” Before he ever touched a home, he worked where good enough got people hurt — fighter jets, race cars, oil fields. He brought that standard to an industry that had made peace with almost-right. Every system is designed to a plan, built and tested in our own facility, and finished before the client ever moves in. We call it Done at Closing. The client never sees the work. They only feel the home.

How We Work

Five things you’d figure out in your first week.

Not values on a wall. The unwritten rules you’d actually feel on the floor.

01

“Almost” is a dirty word.
If a scene is off by a single beat, it doesn’t ship. People here have re-pulled cable at 11pm the night before a move-in because a dimmer curve felt a hair wrong. The client never knew. We did.

02

Nobody says “not my job.”
If something’s wrong in a home we touched, whoever sees it first owns it, even the part someone else dropped. We hire people who pick up the ball, not people who file a ticket about it.

03

We test with our hands, not our hopes.
Every system is built and run in our own facility, keypress by keypress, before it ever reaches a home. If it can break, we make it break here, where it’s cheap to fix and no one’s living with it.

04

Mistakes are tuition. Repeats are the bill.
Make a new mistake and we’ll dig into it together and get smarter. Make the same one twice and we’ll have a different conversation. That’s how a small team stays genuinely sharp.

05

“Fine” is banned.
Ask anyone here how they’re doing and you won’t hear “fine.” You’ll hear “outstanding.” We even made up a word for it, Outstandallente. It’s a little ridiculous. We love it. It’s us.
