JOB DESCRIPTION

FOX is seeking a Senior Transmission Engineer to join our Fox Network Engineering and Architecture team in Los Angeles, supporting high-profile live sports productions across FOX Sports. As a member of the team, you will collaborate closely with FOX Sports' Engineering and Field Operations teams, designing, implementing, monitoring, and troubleshooting network transmission systems that deliver mission-critical video, audio, and data signals from venues to broadcast and digital platforms.

The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in broadcast transmission technologies, a strong operational mindset, and the ability to perform under the demands of live event production. This is a hands-on, individual contributor role operating in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment aligned with live sports schedules, requiring flexibility for nights, weekends, and major events.

A SNAPSHOT OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Architect, deploy, and maintain transmission paths for live sports events, including fiber, satellite, IP-based transport (SMPTE ST 2110 / 2022), and bonded cellular solutions
• Coordinate and manage contribution and distribution workflows between venues, broadcast centers, and cloud environments
• Provide real-time operational support for live sports broadcasts, including rapid troubleshooting and escalation management
• Collaborate with production, engineering, and third-party vendors to ensure seamless signal acquisition and delivery
• Monitor network performance, signal integrity, latency, and redundancy across all transmission paths
• Design and implement failover strategies and redundancy plans to ensure high availability during live events
• Support integration of emerging technologies, including cloud-based workflows and remote production (REMI) models
• Maintain documentation of transmission infrastructure, signal flows, and standard operating procedures
• Participate in on-call rotation and provide support during nights, weekends, and major sporting events

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• 7+ years of experience in broadcast transmission, network engineering, or live production environments
• Strong knowledge of video transport protocols and standards (e.g., MPEG-TS, SRT, RIST, RTP/UDP)
• Experience with IP-based broadcast systems, including SMPTE ST 2110 and NMOS
• Familiarity with satellite uplink/downlink operations and fiber-based contribution services (e.g., Lumen, Zayo, The Switch)
• Hands-on experience with network infrastructure (routers, switches, firewalls) in high-bandwidth environments
• Proven ability to troubleshoot complex signal paths under time-sensitive conditions
• Understanding of redundancy models, QoS, and network reliability principles
• Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally with production and engineering teams

NICE TO HAVE, BUT NOT A DEALBREAKER

• Experience supporting Tier 1 live sports broadcasts (NFL, MLB, FIFA, etc.)
• Knowledge of cloud-based media workflows (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Familiarity with remote production workflows and distributed control rooms
• Scripting or automation experience (Python, Bash, or similar)
• Relevant industry certifications (e.g., CCNP, CCIE, AWS Certified Solutions Architect)
