About Mixon Digital
Mixon Digital is a sports technology company that builds and operates real-time data-driven graphics systems for major pro sports teams, leagues, and events. Our live production platform delivers game-ready visual experiences across arenas, broadcasts, and venues nationwide — the kind of work that shows up on the scoreboard and on the screen.
We're a close-knit, technically sharp team that moves fast and takes ownership seriously. If you want to do real engineering work in a live sports environment — not shuffle tickets, not watch someone else run the show — this is that opportunity
The Role
We're looking for an AV Event Systems Engineer to own the full technical lifecycle of our client event deployments. This is not a support role. You are the technical owner — responsible for making sure every system we ship is correctly imaged, every deployment is documented, and every on-site event runs without a hitch.
You'll own system imaging and configuration, create and maintain engineering project plans, manage our hardware asset ecosystem, and execute on-site at major pro sports events — connecting our systems to client video infrastructure and making sure everything is show-ready before tip-off, puck drop, or first pitch.
This role sits at the intersection of technical engineering and operational precision. You need both. The candidate who thrives here is someone who can configure a system, write a project plan, pack a truck, and troubleshoot a signal routing issue on-site — all in the same week.
What You'll Do
Systems Engineering
- Own system imaging end to end — configure, image, and validate all hardware for client deployments
- Manage software installation, updates, and license allocation across all client and internal systems
- Maintain and manage the system tracking spreadsheet — full ownership, always current
- Perform quality control checks and full system testing prior to every deployment
- Diagnose and resolve technical issues quickly in live, high-pressure environments
- Perform equipment repairs and maintenance within your abilities; escalate when appropriate
- Ability to receive and handoff signals with other trades. Strong acumen to collaborate with multiple stakeholders for a complete solution from server to display
- Troubleshoot live data connections: experience with serial data, XML, JSON
Engineering Project Plans
- Create and own engineering project plans for all client events and system deployments
- Document network requirements, hardware configurations, venue technical setup, and room specifications
- Extract and maintain accurate packing lists from project plans
- Maintain technical documentation standards across all active and archived projects
On-Site Event Execution
- Execute on-site at major pro sports events — hardware setup, signal routing, and system integration
- Connect Mixon Digital systems to client video infrastructure including scoreboards, broadcast feeds, and arena video systems
- Manage full event lifecycle on-site: setup, show support, and strike
- Serve as the primary technical point of contact on-site, interfacing with client venue staff and broadcast partners
- Remain calm and effective under live event pressure — issues get solved, not escalated
Asset Management & Logistics
- Own the full hardware asset lifecycle: inventory, tracking, packing, shipping, receiving, and return
- Ensure all equipment is event-ready at all times — no surprises on deployment day
- Coordinate equipment allocation across concurrent events and client sites
- Maintain client site systems (systems deployed at client venues) — remote upkeep, imaging, and readiness
What We're Looking For
Required
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in AV engineering, live event production, broadcast, or a closely related technical field
- Working knowledge of video signal flow and distribution — SDI, HDMI, NDI, IP-based video, reference and genlock
- Experience configuring and troubleshooting Windows-based systems in a production environment
- Ability to read and execute from technical documentation, schematics, and run of show materials
- Strong organizational discipline — asset tracking, documentation, and project plans are always current
- Proactive problem-solver — you identify and resolve issues before they affect a deployment
- Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and perform physically demanding on-site tasks
- Willingness to travel and work non-traditional hours around live event schedules
- Professional, discreet, and dependable under pressure
Preferred
- Experience in sports production, in-venue AV, or broadcast engineering
- Familiarity with graphics systems, video switchers, or live production workflows
- Experience with system imaging tools and deployment processes
- Networking knowledge — VLANs, NDI, IP video routing
- Experience maintaining remote or distributed equipment systems
- Certified compTIA network+
Why Mixon Digital
- Your work shows up live at major pro sports events — arenas, broadcasts, game day
- Own a real technical pipeline, not a crew position on someone else's show
- Work directly with pro sports teams, leagues, and major live events
- Close-knit team where your contributions are visible and your growth is intentional
- Clear path to increased technical ownership and on-site event lead responsibilities
- Fast-moving environment where the right person can build something that lasts
