help us develop the next-generation public service media organization.

Technology & Infrastructure (T&I) is the backbone and the future-forward arm of CBC/Radio-Canada. Our purpose is to constantly innovate to evolve and maintain the Corporation’s technology and infrastructure. We are the people that make stuff work. We make connections between media content, systems, people and places. We are the space in between.

A place with purpose. CBC/Radio-Canada has always been a highly regarded pioneer of media technology — not just in Canada but around the world. Today, we are transforming ourselves into a modern and agile public service media organization. Technology is the driving force, and we are the team making it happen.

The Engineering Services group, part of "T&I", consolidates all the expertise that supports the delivery of CBC/Radio-Canada's engineering initiatives. Acting as a strategic center of expertise and a performance facilitator, our role is to simplify and optimize engineering initiatives for the benefit of our Operations, Production, and Maintenance partners. Among these key partners is the Transmission Engineering group, which is responsible for planning and implementing technical solutions to support the CBC/Radio-Canada broadcasting network (including, among others, traditional analog AM & FM radio, digital radio (HD Radio), digital television (ATSC) as well as C-Band and Ku-Band satellite distribution, and point-to-point links (STL)).

Spectrum Engineering is a key area of expertise within Engineering Services
. Composed of engineers acting as expert advisors in broadcasting and radio frequency (RF) management, the team's primary role is to provide the technical expertise, engineering documents, and essential advice required for the planning, protection, and maintenance of CBC/Radio-Canada's broadcasting and radio communication systems. Concretely, the group has several mandates, including to:

• Ensure the sustainability of our broadcasting infrastructure by managing and protecting the radio frequencies used by CBC/Radio-Canada.
• Perform engineering analyses to optimize the coverage of broadcasting stations and radio communication systems.
• Establish the official technical parameters of broadcasting stations (technical briefs).
• Ensure compliance with RF exposure limits at transmission sites located across the country (500+ sites) (Safety Code 6 - Health Canada).
• Perform specialized engineering studies and complex analyses applying the rigour and scientific approach of a professional engineer to meet the emerging needs of our internal partners and of new technologies.
