AV Media Systems Specialist - Museum & Exhibit Technology (Lorton)
Design and Production
About the role
Design and Production Inc. (D&P) has been building museum exhibits since 1949. We integrate the technology behind them: interactive kiosks, touch tables, projection, video walls and multi-screen media shows for museums and public spaces. A single project can include 4 to more than 100 networked systems.
We’re looking for a Media Systems Specialist to own the computers and media players that run these exhibits. You’ll specify them, configure them, test them and keep them running.
What you’ll do
- Configure and program media playback systems: video servers, multi-head playback PCs and dedicated platforms such as Watchout, 7th Sense and Pandora’s Box .
- Upgrade existing exhibit systems to Windows 11 , test software performance and tune configurations.
- Troubleshoot live systems: BIOS settings, touch failures, frozen programs, network issues.
- Load, test and document final programs delivered by our software development partners.
- Specify delivery systems for new projects and recommend upgrades to existing ones.
- Work with the installation team, the show control programmer and the client to meet technical specifications and the owner’s security requirements.
- Work on site at museums during installs, as well as at our Lorton shop.
What you bring
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in IT for audio-visual applications: media servers, playback systems, AV integration, live event or attraction technology.
- Strong Windows skills: imaging, BIOS, drivers, performance tuning, networking basics.
- Experience with Watchout, 7th Sense, Pandora’s Box or similar media servers. This is a strong plus.
- Understanding of the software development process and the ability to test code or complete applications.
- Clear written documentation and communication skills.
- A bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Reliable attendance in Lorton or on site. Early mornings are typical.
- Flexibility to move between projects and changing schedules.
Nice to have
- AVIXA CTS certification
- Show control experience (AMX, Medialon), Extron
- Background with museums, theme parks, live events or AV integration firms
