Position Summary: KQED is seeking a highly skilled TV post production lead engineer with broad experience in post production systems administration and operations to fulfill a key role within the Technical Operations division. The successful candidate will be required to join NABET Local 51.
This is a unique position ideally suited for an experienced editor who has exceptional technical skills and knowledge of post production systems and media management.

Our TV studio is a virtual environment powered by Vizrt Virtual Studio, utilizing a fully robotic and motion tracked camera system.
Powering all of this and more is our TV Post Production core - running Avid MediaCentral/Interplay, Media Composer, Fastserve ingest and playout controlled by Command and iNews. Workflows are orchestrated using telestream Vantage. Our LTO tape archive is managed by Telestream Diva integrated with Interplay.
KQED envisions a public media organization with a culture that centers on human dignity, equity, and belonging. This will enable us to better serve and reflect the Bay Area through diverse and inclusive storytelling.
We value the contributions of marginalized people in society - including Black, Indigenous, and all people of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ people - and we believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do, and we strongly encourage members of these communities to apply.

The mission that drives us:

We provide citizens with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions; convene community dialogue; bring the arts to everyone and engage audiences to share their stories. We help students and teachers thrive in 21st-century classrooms, and take people of all ages on journeys of exploration- exposing them to new people, places and ideas.
This role will work onsite in KQED's newly renovated headquarters.
The successful candidate will be required to join National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians (NABET) Local 51.
Essential Functions: The TV Post Production Lead will have specific expertise spanning multiple areas (including IT and engineering, post production workflows and editing) in order to function as a System Administrator and Lead Support Engineer, Media Manager and Editor.
