Job description

Here you will architect complex audio-video and broadcast systems for stadiums, arenas, entertainment venues, and large public assembly facilities.

You will make the calls that determine how a venue sounds, how it distributes content, how it produces a show, and how it hands off a clean signal to broadcast. You will develop the design, model it, document it, and carry it into rooms with owners and architects.

This is a strong fit for an engineer who wants genuine ownership, is drawn to problems without an easy answer, and wants to follow a design all the way through to commissioning instead of handing it off at 50%.

What You Will Own

• Design complex audio-video and broadcast systems for large venues, from concept through construction documents.
• Develop system architecture for large format sound reinforcement, distributed audio, DSP, control, IPTV and video distribution, LED displays, video production, intercom, AV networks, and supporting infrastructure.
• Produce your own Revit and AutoCAD documentation: system plans, one-line diagrams, equipment layouts, details, narratives, specifications, equipment lists, and cost estimates.
• Coordinate directly with architects, engineers, IT teams, contractors, manufacturers, and other consultants.
• Present your work in client meetings and technical design workshops.
• Lead portions of projects and direct the work of Design Engineer I staff.
• Review submittals, RFIs, and shop drawings during construction.Perform site observations, system testing, commissioning, and performance verification. You will hear your own designs come up for the first time.
• Research emerging technologies and help integrate them into the firm's design process.
• Mentor early career engineers and contribute to our internal design standards and detail library.

What You Bring

• Five or more years in professional Audio Video consulting, engineering, design, or integration.
• Demonstrated experience designing complex commercial or large venue Audio Video systems.
• Strong grounding in professional audio, video, control, DSP, networking, and infrastructure.
• Proficiency with Revit, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, and construction documentation workflows. Our engineers model and draw their own work.
• The ability to independently produce coordinated, buildable documentation without someone checking every line.
• Clear communication and the willingness to explain a technical position to people who do not share your background.

What Would Set You Apart

• Experience in the design or operation of sports venues, or other facilities of equal complexity. Highly preferred.
• Q SYS, Dante, AES67, SMPTE ST 2110, HDR, IPTV, and IP-based media technologies.
• Acoustic modeling experience in EASE or a comparable platform.
• CTS-D or comparable certifications.
