How You'll Contribute:

We are seeking a Production Networking Engineer with deep expertise in live broadcast networks to support high-stakes sports productions across venues, studios, and remote workflows. In this role, you’ll design and manage low-latency, high-reliability network infrastructures that support video, audio, comms, and data transport in real-time. This is a hands-on, high-impact role essential to the delivery of live sporting events across digital and linear platforms.

What You'll Do:

1. Event Network Design & Deployment

Architect and deploy broadcast-grade IP networks to support live video/audio workflows at sports venues, OB trucks, and remote production hubs. Plan and execute temporary or permanent network builds tailored for fast-paced game-day environments. Design and segment VLANs for media, comms, control, and IT services across complex workflows.

2. Real-Time Broadcast Support

Provide onsite or remote network engineering support during live games, tournaments, and studio broadcasts. Monitor system performance and respond to issues with minimal disruption to live output. Interface with engineering, broadcast ops, and production crews to coordinate signal flow and infrastructure uptime.

3. Media-over-IP & Synchronization

Configure and support IP-based audio/video (SMPTE ST 2110, Dante, AES67, NDI) in production networks. Manage timing and synchronization using PTP, GPS-based clocking, and boundary clocks for IP media systems. Integrate networked control systems, replay servers, cameras, and graphics over IP.

4. Network Health & Security

Implement monitoring solutions to proactively detect packet loss, latency, jitter, or bandwidth spikes. Maintain security best practices, including access control, device hardening, and firewall policy management. Ensure redundancy and failover strategies are in place for critical production paths.

5. Documentation & Collaboration

Create and update network diagrams, IP maps, and event-specific configs. Collaborate with vendors, integrators, and league IT teams to ensure compatibility and compliance. Provide post-event debriefs and lessons-learned summaries.

What You'll Bring:

Education:

Bachelor's degree in Networking, Broadcast Engineering, or related field (or equivalent professional experience).

Experience:

5+ years in live sports broadcasting, AV networking, or event production engineering. Proven success in high-pressure environments (live stadiums, arenas, OB units, etc.).

Technical Skills:

Deep knowledge of L2/L3 switching, routing protocols (OSPF, BGP), multicast (IGMP), and QoS. Experience with Cisco, Arista, Netgear M4250/4300 series, or equivalent. Familiarity with SMPTE ST 2110, Dante, AES67, and PTP timing. Strong skills in Wireshark, Crestron/Control systems (optional), and cloud-based production tools.

Certifications (Preferred):

Cisco CCNA/CCNP Dante Level 2 or 3 SMPTE ST 2110 training AVIXA CTS / CTS-D

Why Join Us:

Be part of the backbone that delivers live sports to millions of viewers. Work with cutting-edge tech in stadiums, studios, and remote production. Collaborate with passionate teams across engineering, operations, and media production. Competitive pay, travel opportunities, and top-tier benefits.
