At the Pac-12, we love sports and technology! Live sports production is rapidly evolving towards applications-based, centralized production utilizing COTS hardware to run a variety of software programs designed to deliver content quickly and effectively at lower costs than traditional broadcast methods.
As a member of our Engineering team, the Video Production Systems Technician will be responsible for the day-to-day maintenance and operation of 96 computer platforms dispersed over our campuses that comprise our Software Defined Production (SDP) system.
