Broadcast Engineer (RF & Specialty Camera Systems)

About the role

Position Summary: The Broadcast Engineer is responsible for the preparation, configuration, testing, troubleshooting, deployment support, and maintenance of RF transmission and specialty camera systems used in live television broadcasts, sports productions, and remote production environments. This position is designed for versatile engineering professionals capable of supporting both RF and specialty camera technologies. Engineers are expected to work across disciplines and provide coverage for either function during peak operational periods, ensuring maximum flexibility and support for customers and production requirements. The role is primarily warehouse-based, focusing on equipment readiness, quality control, system testing, and technical support. Limited travel may be required to support customer events, system deployment, testing, training, or production activities.

Hiring Note: We are seeking two Broadcast Engineers who can develop expertise across both RF and Specialty Camera systems. While candidates may initially have stronger experience in one discipline, the expectation is that both engineers will provide cross-functional support and coverage as workload and production demands require. This flexibility is critical to the success of the team.
