Gear Tester information

What is a gear tester?

A Gear Tester evaluates outdoor, sports, or technical gear to assess performance, durability, and functionality. They use products in real-world conditions, document findings, and provide feedback to manufacturers or publications. Testing may involve specific criteria such as weather resistance, comfort, or efficiency. Some Gear Testers work freelance, while others are employed by brands or media outlets.

What does a gear tester do?

As a Gear Tester, your day often involves hands-on evaluation of products—such as outdoor equipment, tools, or apparel—under various real-world conditions. You’ll document your observations, assess performance according to specific criteria, and report any defects or recommendations to engineering or product development teams. Collaboration is common, as you'll frequently discuss your findings with designers, quality assurance, and marketing personnel to help ensure the gear meets user expectations. The work may include both independent testing sessions and team meetings, and occasionally requires travel or outdoor fieldwork depending on the product being evaluated.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a gear tester?

To thrive as a Gear Tester, you need in-depth knowledge of outdoor equipment or mechanical gear, attention to detail, and practical experience using a range of products. Familiarity with product testing protocols, safety standards, and sometimes gear testing software or measurement tools is important. Strong communication, analytical thinking, and report-writing skills help you deliver clear feedback and collaborate with product development teams. These skills ensure that tested gear meets quality and safety standards while providing actionable insights for improvements.

Re-posted 14 days ago

Key responsibilities

  • Own AV planning for assigned shows, including room layouts, gear lists, signal routing plans, and staffing needs.

  • Lead AV on site for conferences and events, managing and directing local crews to execute setups, rehearsals, and shows.

  • Troubleshoot signal flow, RF, and networking issues quickly and calmly under show conditions.

Job description

As an AV Production Engineer, you are the single threaded owner of AV for assigned events.

From first technical conversation with the client, through designing the AV plan, coordinating gear and local crews, to running the show on‑site, you are responsible for making the event look and sound exceptional and feel easy for the client.

You must be equally comfortable:

  • Deep in signal flow and troubleshooting
  • Mixing Audio
  • Talking to clients in plain English
  • Leading local crews on long show days

This is an Atlanta‑based role. Day‑to‑day when not traveling will be at our Atlanta facilities (warehouse, gear prep, testing, design).

What You’ll Do

Pre‑Production & Design

  • Own AV planning for assigned shows: room layouts, gear lists, signal routing plans, and staffing needs.
  • Work directly with clients to understand show flow, content needs, and constraints.
  • Coordinate with internal production, software, and logistics teams on gear prep, freight, and timelines.
  • Build and review run‑of‑show and cue sheets.

On‑Site Execution

  • Lead AV on site for conferences and events, typically multi‑room / multi‑track.
  • Manage and direct local crews (A1s, V1s, hands) to execute setups, rehearsals, and shows.
  • Operate or oversee:
    • Video: Blackmagic switching/routing, camera setups, projection, IMAG, confidence monitors.
    • Audio: Allen & Heath / Yamaha digital consoles, RF coordination, basic mixing for voice‑heavy shows.
    • Lighting: Basic stage lighting and room wash setups.
  • Deploy and operate our StreamCase systems for multi‑track recording/streaming.
  • Troubleshoot signal flow, RF, and networking issues quickly and calmly under show conditions.

Post‑Event & Ops

  • Ensure recordings, assets, and reports are delivered correctly to internal teams and clients.
  • Update checklists, diagrams, and playbooks based on lessons learned.
  • Help maintain warehouse standards: gear prep, labeling, testing, and safety.

What Makes You a Strong Fit

Experience

  • 3–5+ years in corporate / conference AV (other live production experience considered).
  • Hands‑on with:
    • Signal routing and basic networking in live environments
    • Live audio mixing and RF fundamentals
    • Video switching, camera, projection, and basic lighting setups
    • Breakout room operations and support

Mindset & Soft Skills

  • Solution‑oriented: you see problems early and bring options, not drama.
  • Comfortable owning shows end‑to‑end with light supervision.
  • Excellent client‑facing communication; you can explain technical tradeoffs simply.
  • Strong leadership with local crews; clear, calm, and safety‑first.

Travel & Physical Requirements

  • Willing and able to travel 15–20 weeks per year (domestic, occasional international).
  • Able to work long event days and non‑standard hours when on site.
  • Comfortable with physical labor: loading/unloading trucks, pushing cases, lifting gear, climbing ladders.
  • Works safely and enforces safety for the entire crew.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Blackmagic Design ecosystems (ATEM, routers, converters).
  • Dante and Audio routing
  • Video Editing Capabilities
  • Experience with Allen & Heath and/or Yamaha digital mixers.
  • Hybrid / streaming event experience (multi‑track, remote viewers, redundancy).
  • Vector works diagramming
  • Woodworking, scenic / production design, or fabrication experience (building simple sets, lecterns, signage, stage elements).

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Audio-Visual Technology, Production Engineering, or related field.
  • Proven experience working as an AV Production Engineer or similar role.
  • Strong knowledge of audio, video, and lighting systems used in live productions.
  • Proficient with AV control systems and digital media production equipment.
  • Excellent troubleshooting skills and ability to think critically under pressure.
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills to collaborate effectively with various teams.
  • Flexibility to work evenings and weekends as needed for events.
  • Ability to travel domestically and internationally.

Benefits

  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
  • Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
  • Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
  • Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)
  • Training & Development
  • Work From Home
  • Free Food & Snacks
