Broadcast Technician

Technician

The Technician will execute day-to-day design, build, and deployment tasks within established broadcast environments, working under direction from senior engineering leads, and will serve as a hands-on operational resource to minimize customer outages through close collaboration across teams. Key Responsibilities

• Support and maintain broadcast environments across baseband (SDI) and IP video, contribution/distribution workflows, encoding/decoding, monitoring, and timing systems.

• Participate in mission-critical, 24x7 broadcast operations — performing real-time troubleshooting and escalating complex issues to senior engineering as needed.

• Execute assigned build and deployment tasks in line with established designs and standards set by senior engineering leads.

• Follow and help refine existing runbooks and operational procedures.

• Create and maintain documentation on hardware, applications, and workflows.

• Accept on-call rotation duties, supporting the team via phone, Teams, or email.

• Collaborate cross-functionally to resolve issues and integrate projects into daily operations.

• Track operational data/metrics, identify problem areas, and provide actionable insight. Required Technical Skills

• Broadcast Specs (signal flow, broadcast standards, and terminology)

• Broadcast – Transport Stream / Multicast

• Broadcast – Video/Audio Monitoring

• Broadcast – Video Routing

• Baseband (SDI) fluency with working knowledge of IP video (SMPTE ST 2110 awareness a plus, not required)

• Evertz experience a plus (vendor-trainable); fluency with comparable platforms such as Grass Valley, Imagine, or Harris is acceptable.

• Preferred Skills

• Working knowledge of Techex (for SRT) or Zixi is a plus.

• Familiarity with broadcast automation and Media Asset Management (MAM) concepts; deep platform expertise not required.

• Qualifications

• 3–5 years of hands-on experience in broadcast operations or technical/engineering operations.

• Solid grounding in core broadcast fundamentals: transport stream, multicast, video routing, and monitoring.

• Working knowledge of Windows and Linux OS and TCP/IP protocols.

• Strong troubleshooting and documentation skills.

• Strong customer focus with the ability to develop solutions through root-cause analysis.
