Job Summary/Description:

Are you a tech wizard who thrives on the intersection of traditional broadcasting and cutting-edge digital infrastructure? Do you love the challenge of keeping a complex network running smoothly while ensuring the "magic of television" never misses a beat—even from a distance? We’re looking for a Broadcast IT Engineer to join our team at KTTC and KBJR. This isn't just about fixing computers; it’s about owning the digital backbone of our stations and ensuring our content reaches our audience across every platform, from the big screen to the smartphone.

Duties/Responsibilities will include (but not limited to):

What You'll Do:
• Architect the network: Install and maintain the computer systems and network infrastructure that power our daily operations.
• Bridge the gap: Work closely with our engineering team to implement and maintain "crossover" systems that blend traditional Audio/Video with modern IT infrastructure.
• Power the production: Support and maintain the automation systems that keep our On-Air and Live Production running without a hitch.
• Guard the gates: Aid in the implementation of robust computer and network security policies to keep our data and broadcasts safe.
• Keep us current: Manage software licensing and ensure all systems are updated and optimized for peak performance.
• Support the mission: Act as one of the primary points of contact for corporate IT and help maintain our internal trouble ticket system, supporting everyone from News and Production to Sales.
• Go where the action is: Provide technical assistance for remote broadcasts, ensuring our team can deliver high-quality content from anywhere.

Qualifications/Requirements:

What You Bring:
• Advanced IT chops: You have a deep understanding of VM systems and Windows Active Directory management.
• Broadcast brain: You understand the inner workings of a broadcast facility and how IT integrates with A/V equipment.
• Problem-solving prowess: You can troubleshoot computers down to the board level and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty.
• Digital-first mindset: You understand that in today's world, serial and IP communication are the lifeblood of media.
• Cool under pressure: You thrive in high-stress situations (because news never stops) and can handle the physical demands of the job, including lifting up to 50 lbs.
• The right credentials: You have an Associate’s Degree in Electronics, Computer Science, or a related field (or higher).
• Proven experience: You bring at least 2 years of experience with Windows OS, e-mail systems, FTP servers, and TCP/IP networking.
• Collaborative spirit: You’re a team player who can work closely with Chief Engineers, Department Heads, and Corporate IT to get the job done.

Why You'll Love It Here:
• Innovation at scale: You’ll be working with Gray Media, a company that’s leading the way in digital-first local media.
• Real impact: Your work directly enables our teams to tell the stories that matter to our communities in Duluth and Rochester.
• Flexibility and trust: While this role supports local stations, the remote nature allows you to work with autonomy while staying deeply connected to the team.
• Growth opportunities: We invest in our people, providing the tools and support you need to stay at the top of your game.
