About This Role
This engineering role involves architecting complex audio-video and broadcast systems for large public assembly facilities such as stadiums, arenas, and entertainment venues. You will make critical decisions regarding venue sound, content distribution, show production, and broadcast signal hand-off, developing and documenting designs from concept through commissioning. It is a strong fit for an engineer who seeks genuine ownership, enjoys tackling challenging problems, and wants to see designs through to completion.
Responsibilities
- 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
- Research emerging technologies and help integrate them into the firm's design process
- Mentor early career engineers and contribute to internal design standards and detail library
Requirements
- 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
- 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
Nice to have:
- Experience in the design or operation of sports venues, or other facilities of equal complexity
- 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
