AV Event Systems Engineer

AV Event Systems Engineer

Mixon Digital is a sports technology company that builds and operates real-time data-driven graphics systems for major pro sports teams, leagues, and events. Our live production platform delivers game-ready visual experiences across arenas, broadcasts, and venues nationwide — the kind of work that shows up on the scoreboard and on the screen. We're a close-knit, technically sharp team that moves fast and takes ownership seriously.

If you want to do real engineering work in a live sports environment — not shuffle tickets, not watch someone else run the show — this is that opportunity

We're looking for an AV Event Systems Engineer to own the full technical lifecycle of our client event deployments. This is not a support role. You are the technical owner — responsible for making sure every system we ship is correctly imaged, every deployment is documented, and every on-site event runs without a hitch. You'll own system imaging and configuration, create and maintain engineering project plans, manage our hardware asset ecosystem, and execute on-site at major pro sports events — connecting our systems to client video infrastructure and making sure everything is show-ready before tip-off, puck drop, or first pitch.

This role sits at the intersection of technical engineering and operational precision. You need both. The candidate who thrives here is someone who can configure a system, write a project plan, pack a truck, and troubleshoot a signal routing issue on-site — all in the same week.

Systems Engineering

• Own system imaging end to end — configure, image, and validate all hardware for client deployments
• Manage software installation, updates, and license allocation across all client and internal systems
• Maintain and manage the system tracking spreadsheet — full ownership, always current
• Perform quality control checks and full system testing prior to every deployment
• Diagnose and resolve technical issues quickly in live, high-pressure environments
• Perform equipment repairs and maintenance within your abilities; escalate when appropriate
• Ability to receive and handoff signals with other trades. Strong acumen to collaborate with multiple stakeholders for a complete solution from server to display
• Troubleshoot live data connections: experience with serial data, XML, JSON

Engineering Project Plans

• Create and own engineering project plans for all client events and system deployments
• Document network requirements, hardware configurations, venue technical setup, and room specifications
• Extract and maintain accurate packing lists from project plans
• Maintain technical documentation standards across all active and archived projects

On-Site Event Execution

• Execute on-site at major pro sports events — hardware setup, signal routing, and system integration
• Connect Mixon Digital systems to client video infrastructure including scoreboards, broadcast feeds, and arena video systems
• Manage full event lifecycle on-site: setup, show support, and strike
• Serve as the primary technical point of contact on-site, interfacing with client venue staff and broadcast partners
• Remain calm and effective under live event pressure — issues get solved, not escalated

Asset Management & Logistics

• Own the full hardware asset lifecycle: inventory, tracking, packing, shipping, receiving, and return
• Ensure all equipment is event-ready at all times — no surprises on deployment day
• Coordinate equipment allocation across concurrent events and client sites
• Maintain client site systems (systems deployed at client venues) — remote upkeep, imaging, and readiness

Required

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in AV engineering, live event production, broadcast, or a closely related technical field
• Working knowledge of video signal flow and distribution — SDI, HDMI, NDI, IP-based video, reference and genlock
• Experience configuring and troubleshooting Windows-based systems in a production environment
• Ability to read and execute from technical documentation, schematics, and run of show materials
• Strong organizational discipline — asset tracking, documentation, and project plans are always current
• Proactive…
