What are the responsibilities and job description for the Audio Video- Engineer position at ME Engineers?
Here you will architect complex audio-video and broadcast systems for stadiums, arenas, entertainment venues, and large public assembly facilities.
You will make the calls that determine how a venue sounds, how it distributes content, how it produces a show, and how it hands off a clean signal to broadcast. You will develop the design, model it, document it, and carry it into rooms with owners and architects.
This is a strong fit for an engineer who wants genuine ownership, is drawn to problems without an easy answer, and wants to follow a design all the way through to commissioning instead of handing it off at 50%.

What You Will Own
- Design complex audio-video and broadcast systems for large venues, from concept through construction documents.
- Develop system architecture for large format sound reinforcement, distributed audio, DSP, control, IPTV and video distribution, LED displays, video production, intercom, AV networks, and supporting infrastructure.
