Job summary

Prime Video Live Sports is seeking a Broadcast Engineer who brings deep technical expertise and is willing to do whatever the production requires—from architecting signal flows to pulling cable on a truck before airtime.

This remote-based role includes regular travel to live events and our Culver City, CA headquarters. You will manage technical projects, oversee integration, and ensure broadcast standards and reliable signal delivery across mobile production facilities.

Qualifications

10+ years of experience in broadcast engineering in live production environments.
Experience with mobile production units (OB trucks) or remote/at-home production workflows.
Experience operating broadcast equipment and integrating remote feeds into host broadcast or third-party signal chains.
Experience managing vendor and contractor performance in live broadcast environments.
Experience with audio/video signal flow and routing, including SDI, SMPTE ST 2110 IP video, and broadcast infrastructure (routers, multiviewers, frame synchronizers, and production switchers).
Experience with IP contribution protocols (SRT, RIST, or RTMP) and transmission coordination (fiber or satellite).
Experience with streaming technology, OTT delivery, and live streaming workflows.
Experience troubleshooting technical problems in live broadcast environments.

Responsibilities

Set up, operate, and troubleshoot live broadcast systems: video/audio routing, cameras, encoding, replay, intercom, IP transport, and transmission.
Coordinate signal flows, conduct pre-show validations, and deploy contribution circuits (fiber, satellite, IP) with carriers and partners.
Serve as on-site technical contact; monitor signal quality in real time, troubleshoot failures, and ensure compliance with broadcast standards.
Plan and execute remote deployments end-to-end: scope, technical solutions, logistics, and readiness confirmation.
Oversee vendor and contractor performance against SLAs; liaise with third-party operators, host broadcasters, and equipment vendors on signal flow and handoff procedures.
Track risks across concurrent deployments; manage vendor relationships, performance evaluations, and procurement decisions.
File post-event technical reports, track recurring issues, and evaluate emerging broadcast technologies for workflow improvements.
