Industrial lighting and intelligent building systems with networked audio/video
Acuity is a public industrial technology company headquartered in Atlanta with 10,000+ employees across North America, Europe, and Asia. The core business spans lighting fixtures and controls (Acuity Brands Lighting) and building management platforms (Acuity Intelligent Spaces), but active projects reveal a significant pivot toward networked audio/video systems (Q-SYS platform and PCB design for A/V product lines). The engineering-heavy hiring mix and concurrent migration from legacy ERP (SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle E-Business Suite) to cloud infrastructure (Oracle Fusion, ServiceNow, Azure Data Lake) signal an organization scaling both product innovation and operational modernization simultaneously.
