Job Summary
Are you passionate about live broadcast technology and ready to take ownership of high-stakes system reliability? Join Advanced Systems Group as a Live Broadcast Systems Engineer and play a key role in supporting a world-class media facility's mission-critical operations, working in close partnership with an experienced operations team to keep systems healthy, resilient, and ready for anything live production demands.
Our client operates a newly built, world-class broadcast and radio facility that supports both live radio production and broadcast-level video production under one roof. The facility includes four radio studios, two large and two small, alongside a dedicated sound stage supporting live video productions. Built and structured as a true broadcast facility, the environment runs on a modern IP media infrastructure alongside traditional baseband systems, supporting high visibility, always-on live productions.
This is a full time, permanent, on site opportunity based in Culver City, CA.
What We Are Looking For
A senior level or EIC level engineer with a track record of owning and operating a built, permanent broadcast facility
A well rounded, jack of all trades broadcast engineer who is comfortable across both audio and video systems
A true partner to the operations team, someone who takes pride in keeping high-visibility live productions running smoothly behind the scenes
A collaborative engineer who brings ideas and improvements to the table and enjoys building trust with the teams they support
Someone who thrives on ownership and autonomy, comfortable spotting risk early and getting ahead of problems before they impact a live show
What You Will Do
Provide on-site support based in Culver City, CA, with regular travel to a nearby secondary site in Marina del Rey, approximately 15 minutes away. Travel beyond these two locations is rare
Serve as a senior escalation point for complex technical issues that go beyond standard operational troubleshooting, working in close coordination with an existing operations team that handles day to day tier 1 and tier 2 issues
Lead preventative maintenance and forward looking risk identification across the facility's broadcast and streaming systems, both audio and video, keeping equipment at optimal health and readiness
Conduct in depth investigations on issues that require sustained effort, including extended engagements with manufacturers, testing, and RMA processes
Develop and manage configuration backups and equipment baselines for critical systems
Schedule and execute preventative maintenance around a dynamic live broadcast calendar
Document and maintain detailed service histories, run books, and a standing maintenance calendar
Ensure organized, clean, and efficient machine room infrastructure and cabling
Troubleshoot and perform service restoration for SDI, IP media including ST 2110, Dante, AES67, and MADI, and supporting infrastructure
Apply rigorous, systematic testing to isolate problems from application through physical layer
Own case resolution with manufacturers, driving issues through to successful outcomes and managing vendor relationships
Produce clear incident reports and documentation, empowering operational teams to resolve or avoid common issues
