• Comprehensive live audio expertise: end‑to‑end signal flow and console operation (digital/analog), gain/EQ/dynamics, mic selection/placement, RF coordination (frequency/antennas/interference), feedback prevention, PA coverage, DSP/loudspeaker management, audio networking, and fast, well‑documented troubleshooting.
• Strong problem‑solving mindset with the ability to think fast and independently resolve technical challenges on the spot, especially under pressure during company‑wide streaming events.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with a collaborative approach to sharing knowledge, training colleagues, and contributing ideas for continuous improvement
• Availability to work on‑campus full‑time (from Monday to Friday) to provide immediate, hands‑on technical and media support,
• Flexibility to work outside regular hours for special events based on company demand.
• A positive can‑do attitude that embraces challenges and sees every problem as an opportunity to learn and improve
• Natural multitasking abilities with the skill to juggle competing priorities while maintaining quality and attention to detail

Stand out with:

• Service‑oriented and customer‑focused mindset, always putting the end‑user experience first and ensuring colleagues feel supported
• Fast learner who adapts quickly to new technologies, tools, and processes in our ever‑evolving technical landscape
