- Experience developing or interpreting architecture diagrams, technical specifications, bills of material, cost analyses, engineering drawings, and implementation plans.
- Strong customer-facing communication and presentation skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts, risks, and trade-offs for technical and non-technical audiences.
- Strong judgment and problem-solving skills, with the ability to lead technical work through influence, coordinate cross-functional resources, and engage specialists when deeper expertise is required.
- A technical degree in Broadcast, Media, Network or Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline is preferred; equivalent education, certifications, and relevant experience will be considered.
- Familiarity with technologies such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, VMware, Proxmox, software-defined infrastructure, APIs, scripting, or software development is a plus.
