Chief Broadcast Engineer

Full-Time, Exempt |

Reports to:

Director, Broadcast, AV & Media | East Rutherford, NJ

Met Life Stadium is one of only two venues in the country that hosts two NFL franchises under one roof, and one of a handful of stadiums in the world built to run at that scale year-round: NFL Sundays, marquee concerts, Wrestle Mania, international soccer, and the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final. Running broadcast operations here means engineering at the intersection of two network broadcast trucks, in-house production, and some of the largest LED and audio systems in live entertainment, often in the same week.

In the near future, we'll be undertaking a multi-year, multi-million dollar stadium modernization moving our broadcast infrastructure to SMPTE ST 2110 IP-based workflows, one of the largest technology transitions the venue has planned. This is a rare chance to help lead a stadium-scale IP migration from the ground up.

We are looking for a Chief Broadcast Engineer who has already done this at scale, at an NFL or major-market stadium, a large arena, a network O&O, or a comparable big-venue broadcast facility, and wants to work at one of the most demanding, highest-visibility buildings in the industry.

• Work two NFL tenants' game-day broadcasts plus 40+ non-NFL events a year, a breadth of live production reps most venues can't offer.
• Hands-on with a top-tier, constantly refreshed tech stack (see below) rather than legacy single-purpose gear.
• A high-visibility technical leadership seat, with hands-on exposure to new manufacturer technology as it's evaluated for the venue.
• A proving ground for the biggest events in the calendar:
  Super Bowls, World Cup matches, Wrestle Mania, and stadium tours.
• A leading technical role in our upcoming SMPTE ST 2110 stadium modernization, a career-defining, ground-up IP infrastructure build most engineers only get to do once.

• Provide a high level of service to both NFL tenants while maintaining absolute neutrality on team matters and protecting the confidentiality of each team's information.
• Serve as engineer of record for broadcast, A/V, and media services coordination with remote production trucks, ensuring signal and data routing is clean for two NFL broadcast partners.
• Own end-to-end technical execution for non-NFL events, including concerts, Wrestle Mania, international soccer, and other large-scale productions, adapting stadium systems to each show's touring production and broadcast requirements.
• Own uptime for FOH, BOH, video replay room, and audio control suite systems during live events, diagnosing and resolving issues in real time with zero tolerance for broadcast interruption.
• Partner with the Director, Broadcast, AV & Media on systems engineering, equipment lifecycle planning, and event-driven infrastructure changes.
• Supervise contracted Broadcast Engineers and A/V crew on event day, escalating equipment issues to the Director, Broadcast, AV & Media for vendor and warranty coordination.
• Maintain equipment, materials, and departmental records to support the Director's budget and planning process.
• Maintain stadium system documentation and CAD drawings used for troubleshooting, freelancer onboarding, and future upgrades.
• Bring forward emerging broadcast technology recommendations; you're expected to know what's next, not just what's installed.
• Lead technical evaluation and standards recommendations for the stadium's upcoming SMPTE ST 2110 modernization, partnering with the Director, Broadcast, AV & Media on final vendor selection and budget decisions.

• Comfort supervising crew and coordinating with outside broadcast trucks under live, high-pressure event…
