What is a live broadcast?

A live broadcast is the real-time transmission of audio and/or video content to an audience over television, radio, or the internet. It allows viewers or listeners to experience events as they happen, such as news, sports, or concerts. Live broadcasting requires specialized equipment and coordination to ensure smooth, uninterrupted streaming, often involving a team of producers, camera operators, and technical staff. This format is popular for its immediacy, authenticity, and ability to engage audiences in real time.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a live broadcast professional, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Live Broadcast Professional, you need expertise in audio-visual technology, live production workflows, and often a relevant degree or technical certification. Familiarity with broadcast equipment, streaming platforms, video switchers, and editing software is typically required. Strong communication, quick decision-making, and the ability to remain calm under pressure are crucial soft skills. These competencies ensure smooth, high-quality broadcasts and effective troubleshooting in the dynamic environment of live media production.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals in live broadcast roles, and how can they be addressed?

Live broadcast professionals often encounter challenges such as technical difficulties, managing time-sensitive content, and coordinating with multiple team members under pressure. To address these, it's important to develop strong communication skills, stay adaptable, and have a solid understanding of broadcast equipment and troubleshooting protocols. Regular rehearsals and clear workflows help minimize on-air errors, and building strong relationships with producers, camera operators, and engineers ensures smooth collaboration during live events.

What is the difference between Live Broadcast vs Video Producer?

Work EnvironmentStudio or event location during live transmissionStudio, editing suites, or on-location shoots for post-production
Required SkillsTechnical operation, quick decision-making, live directingVideo editing, project management, storytelling
CertificationsBroadcast technology, media production certificationsVideo editing, production management certifications

While both roles involve media production, Live Broadcast focuses on real-time transmission of live events, requiring quick decision-making and technical skills. Video Producers handle the planning and editing of pre-recorded content, emphasizing post-production skills. Understanding these differences helps in choosing the right career path or job search focus.

All Applicants must have broadcast/streaming experience to qualify for this role. Please read the following job description thoroughly before applying.
Job Summary
Are you passionate about live broadcast technology and ready to take ownership of high-stakes system reliability? Join Advanced Systems Group as a Live Broadcast Systems Engineer and play a key role in supporting a world-class media facility's mission-critical operations, working in close partnership with an experienced operations team to keep systems healthy, resilient, and ready for anything live production demands.
Our client operates a newly built, world-class broadcast and radio facility that supports both live radio production and broadcast-level video production under one roof. The facility includes four radio studios, two large and two small, alongside a dedicated sound stage supporting live video productions. Built and structured as a true broadcast facility, the environment runs on a modern IP media infrastructure alongside traditional baseband systems, supporting high visibility, always-on live productions.
This is a full time, permanent, on site opportunity based in Culver City, CA.
What We Are Looking For
  • A senior level or EIC level engineer with a track record of owning and operating a built, permanent broadcast facility
  • A well rounded, jack of all trades broadcast engineer who is comfortable across both audio and video systems
  • A true partner to the operations team, someone who takes pride in keeping high-visibility live productions running smoothly behind the scenes
  • A collaborative engineer who brings ideas and improvements to the table and enjoys building trust with the teams they support
  • Someone who thrives on ownership and autonomy, comfortable spotting risk early and getting ahead of problems before they impact a live show

What You Will Do
  • Provide on-site support based in Culver City, CA, with regular travel to a nearby secondary site in Marina del Rey, approximately 15 minutes away. Travel beyond these two locations is rare
  • Serve as a senior escalation point for complex technical issues that go beyond standard operational troubleshooting, working in close coordination with an existing operations team that handles day to day tier 1 and tier 2 issues
  • Lead preventative maintenance and forward looking risk identification across the facility's broadcast and streaming systems, both audio and video, keeping equipment at optimal health and readiness
  • Conduct in depth investigations on issues that require sustained effort, including extended engagements with manufacturers, testing, and RMA processes
  • Develop and manage configuration backups and equipment baselines for critical systems
  • Schedule and execute preventative maintenance around a dynamic live broadcast calendar
  • Document and maintain detailed service histories, run books, and a standing maintenance calendar
  • Ensure organized, clean, and efficient machine room infrastructure and cabling
  • Troubleshoot and perform service restoration for SDI, IP media including ST 2110, Dante, AES67, and MADI, and supporting infrastructure
  • Apply rigorous, systematic testing to isolate problems from application through physical layer
  • Own case resolution with manufacturers, driving issues through to successful outcomes and managing vendor relationships
  • Produce clear incident reports and documentation, empowering operational teams to resolve or avoid common issues
  • Identify patterns and develop remediation projects to increase reliability and reduce recurring issues
  • Scope and support integration and remediation projects, working alongside client engineers and system integrators
  • Coordinate with specialized teams, such as network engineering, on issues outside this role's direct scope

Required Qualifications
  • Prior experience in an Engineer in Charge role, or a similar senior engineering role, within a built, permanent broadcast facility environment
  • Comprehensive technical proficiency across a live broadcast technology stack, including SDI, SMPTE ST 2110, Dante, AES67, MADI, PTP timing, NMOS control, camera robotics, broadcast cameras, LED walls, and video switchers. Familiarity with AVB is a plus. No single candidate is expected to be expert in every protocol, but must be confident enough to diagnose issues and drive them to resolution
  • Deep broadcast engineering experience across both audio and video systems, with demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex live systems from application layer through physical layer
  • Strong, repeatable testing and fault isolation methodology
  • Proven live environment discipline, with a clear understanding of coordinated downtime and on air safety
  • Ability to influence without direct authority, comfortable recommending process improvements within the defined scope of this role
  • Skilled at managing competing maintenance priorities in a live production environment without ever compromising operational safety
  • Strong technical writing and documentation skills, able to produce incident reports, MOPs, run books, and user facing guides
  • Strong communication skills with peer operational staff and with manufacturers during case resolution
  • Organized and accountable in managing vendor relationships, open cases, maintenance windows, and asset condition records
  • Comfortable operating within a highly matrixed environment where multiple teams contribute to a single production
  • Valid driver's license and personal vehicle, ability to travel locally between Culver City and Marina del Rey

Preferred Qualifications
  • Ability to perform in situ Layer 1 repairs for common cable types, including CAT 6A, 12G SDI, single pair audio, and similar, without calling out to an integrator
  • Experience scoping integration and remediation projects for management approval
  • Experience with Providius and Bridge Technologies monitoring tools
  • Working knowledge of Lawo Power Core and UHD Core DSP configuration, operation, and troubleshooting

Position Details
  • Regular Full Time
  • On site at Culver City, CA
  • On call and after hours availability required as needed
  • Must be able to commute to work on site. Valid driver's license and personal vehicle required
