Strategic Technology Leadership

The Broadcast Technology Engineer independently leads the evaluation, selection, design, and implementation of broadcast, production, post-production, and LED technologies for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The incumbent exercises autonomous judgment in making final recommendations on significant technology investments that carry major financial and operational consequences for the organization, and such recommendations are acted upon by senior leadership without detailed re-evaluation. Specific responsibilities include:
• Independently evaluate, compare, and select broadcast and production technologies, making definitive recommendations on capital expenditures and vendor partnerships based on independent analysis of organizational needs, performance data, and industry trends.
• Exercise final authority in establishing, documenting, and enforcing technical standards and compliance frameworks across all production and post-production workflows, including video formats, signal distribution architectures, cybersecurity controls, and system integration protocols.
• Independently direct architecture decisions for all A/V system installations and upgrades, including developing technical drawings, schematics, and documentation that define the organization's technology infrastructure - decisions that are implemented by contractors and vendors based on the Engineer's specifications alone.
• Lead research and analysis of emerging broadcast and production technologies, independently authoring recommendations that guide the organization's multi-year technology roadmap and capital planning.
• Exercise discretion in prioritizing technology investments, maintenance schedules, and operational improvements to align with organizational priorities and financial constraints.

Subject Matter Authority & Organizational Advising

The Broadcast Technology Engineer serves as the organization's definitive technical authority on all broadcast and stadium technology, providing expert guidance upon which senior leadership, other departments, and external partners rely without independent verification. This includes:
• Act as the sole internal expert on all stadium technology systems, including LED display infrastructure, DodgerVision control room, video and audio distribution facilities, DANTE networks, SMPTE cabling, and all future technology initiatives - advising leadership on risk, feasibility, and strategic direction.
• Independently represent the Dodgers as the technical liaison to MLB, broadcast networks, media rights holders, and local broadcasters, making binding technical commitments on behalf of the organization regarding camera and truck feeds, signal handoffs, and broadcast standards compliance.
• Provide authoritative guidance to senior leadership on cybersecurity control frameworks governing broadcast systems, independently assessing organizational exposure and recommending remediation strategies.
• Author and maintain technical manuals, production standards documentation, and compliance records that serve as the organization's official reference for broadcast operations.

Broadcast Operations Leadership & Quality Assurance

The Engineer exercises independent professional judgment to ensure optimal performance of all broadcast and production technologies during live events, applying expertise to diagnose complex system issues, determine corrective action, and prevent operational disruptions without escalation to supervisors. Specific responsibilities include:
• Independently analyze system performance across all control room technologies - including video routers, audio mixers, graphics, replay, video switchers, intercoms, production and robotic cameras, and LED controls - and determine corrective measures based on professional expertise.
• Independently assess and resolve all technical issues related to broadcast, production, and post-production systems during live events, exercising sole discretion in determining solutions when escalation is not feasible.
• Direct the management of video feeds to and from outside vendors including MLB Network and media rights holders, making independent judgments about feed quality, archive priorities, and distribution decisions.

Systems Design, Integration & Compliance Oversight
• Independently plan, design, install, and maintain wired and wireless Intercom, Video Routing Switcher, public address, and ballpark sound systems, exercising professional judgment to ensure operational standards are met.
• Analyze system specifications and independently determine maintenance and upgrade schedules for all A/V systems to ensure optimal, compliant performance.
• Ensure all broadcast systems are designed, configured, and maintained in alignment with industry security control frameworks and applicable cybersecurity standards, independently identifying gaps and implementing remediations.
• Oversee collaboration with external departments and vendors on A/V installations, independently directing technical scope and reviewing vendor work product for compliance with organizational standards.
