Why this role existsOGS delivers communications infrastructure: integrated systems, environments, and workflows that help teams produce and move content reliably at scale. Reliable delivery depends on someone owning the day-to-day: client SLAs, internal IT, installation assistance and quality control during on-site work. Today that work is split across senior staff, which pulls them off design and client engagement. The Systems Engineer takes that operational layer and grows into broader systems design and execution work over time.
This is a hybrid role with deliberate growth runway. You'll start grounded in support and infrastructure ownership, and progressively take on more responsibility in systems design, on-site execution, and project delivery.
Outcomes - Active client SLAs are met: issues triaged, resolved, escalated cleanly, and documented
- Smaller systems design projects are delivered independently, on spec, and to OGS standards
- Systems installed meet OGS standards on first delivery, not after rework
- Routine support and infrastructure work no longer pulls senior technical staff off design and client engagement
- System and network diagrams, and asset records stay current as the business changes
- OGS internal IT systems are reliable, well-documented, and progressively improved
Responsibilities - Own day-to-day support for active client SLAs: first response, triage, troubleshoot, resolve, escalate, document, and follow up
- Lead systems design independently on smaller projects from day one; contribute to larger designs alongside senior staff and grow into leading them over time
- Execute installations at OGS offices and on client sites, for both client projects and internal work: unboxing, QA, inventory, labeling, rack building, cable management, commissioning,
- Maintain technical documentation: network diagrams, tech books, asset and configuration records
- Take ownership of OGS internal IT infrastructure and systems: networks, firewalls, servers
- Grow into broader project execution and design leadership as capability and trust expand
Requirements Must Have - Documented experience with two or more of: Disguise, Pixera, Unreal Engine, LightAct, Megapixel, Brompton, or a comparable real-time media or video playback platform
- Experience working with other production technologies such as video routing, KVM systems, cameras, audio systems, etc.
- Strong enterprise networking: VLAN design, routing, multicast basics, firewall administration, endpoint management, identity and access basics
- Comfort working under SLA pressure, with the judgment to know when to solve versus escalate
- Strong written communication for design docs, tickets, and post-incident reports
Preferred - Exposure to SMPTE 2110, NMOS, NDI, SDVoE, or other broadcast IP standards
- Prior on-site work with AV integrators, broadcast environments, or virtual production stages
- Basic scripting or automation (Python, Bash, PowerShell) skills
- Familiarity with LED volumes, camera tracking, or related virtual production infrastructure
- Comfortable with ticketing, asset tracking, and documentation tools
