Job Overview

As a Football Replay Technology Coordinator (FTC), you are the onsite technical anchor for DVSport's video review solutions. You will be responsible for the end-to-end functionality of our replay solutions during Big Ten home games, ensuring seamless video acquisition, and real-time troubleshooting. This is a critical role that bridges the gap between broadcast production and officiating decisions.

Core Responsibilities

  • Reporting: Document all system checks and performance benchmarks in a formal Set Day Report.

Day 2: Game Day (Saturday)

  • Final Deployment: Complete the setup of non-permanent hardware and perform final "live-environment" pre-game checks.
  • Live Monitoring: Proactively monitor DVSport solutions during the game to ensure 100% uptime and optimal performance.
  • Post-Game Logistics: Oversee the secure teardown and storage of equipment and submit a comprehensive Game Day Performance Report.

Special Projects & Extended Season Support

  • Innovation & Testing: Participate in the deployment and field-testing of new DVSport technologies and software enhancements.
  • Extended Calendar Events: Provide technical coverage for non-standard events, including Spring games, Fall scrimmages, and high-stakes postseason matchups (Conference Championships, Bowl Games, or Playoffs).

Qualifications

  • Technical Proficiency: Proven experience in broadcast engineering, AV systems, or IT networking. You must understand video signal flow (SDI, IP, HDMI) and basic networking protocols.
  • Availability: Must be available for both Set Day and Game Day for the entire home schedule.
  • Pressure Management: Ability to maintain a calm, professional demeanor and solve technical "fires" in a fast-paced, live broadcast environment.
  • Communication: Strong interpersonal skills to navigate various stakeholders, from broadcast directors to conference officials.
  • Preferred Experience: Prior experience with DVSport software, sports replay systems, or live event production.

Position Logistics

  • Employment Type: Part-Time / Seasonal (Estimated 11–16 hours per game week).
  • Compensation: $30.00 – $50.00 per hour (commensurate with experience).
  • Location: University of Washington
  • Start Date: Summer 2026.
  • Note: This role is a W-2, hourly, seasonal position, subject to the withholding of all applicable federal, state and local taxes, and will be managed in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local employment laws.
