ITACCEL is hiring: Senior Staff Broadcast Engineer in New York

Onsite 5 days a week (open to 3-4 days onsite for the right candidate)

We are looking for a Senior Staff Broadcast Network Engineer to join the IP Infrastructure Engineering team within a leading global media organization headquartered in New York. This position is responsible for architecting, deploying, and supporting advanced IP networks that power live broadcast operations and large-scale media production environments.

The ideal candidate brings extensive experience with media-over-IP standards, real-time transport, and modern broadcast networking technologies, including SMPTE ST 2110, PTP synchronization, and software-defined networking. This role will work closely with engineering, IT, and operations teams to provide highly reliable, low-latency network solutions that support live video, audio, and data workflows across the organization.

Key Responsibilities
• Design, implement, and support IP-based broadcast networks that handle uncompressed media and real-time production workflows.
• Partner with SDN and infrastructure teams to deliver deterministic, low-latency network solutions for live content creation.
• Assess and enhance existing network designs to improve scalability, performance, and timing stability.
• Lead diagnostics and root-cause analysis for complex network and media-transport issues across multiple facilities.
• Collaborate with internal teams and third-party vendors to integrate new media networking and orchestration technologies.
• Utilize automation and configuration management tools such as Ansible and Arista CloudVision for network operations.
• Manage multicast routing, QoS policies, and capacity planning for high-bandwidth, real-time applications.
• Ensure system reliability through proactive monitoring, failover testing, and lifecycle management of firmware and hardware.
• Produce clear and detailed documentation including network diagrams, configurations, and operational procedures.
• Provide technical leadership, training, and mentorship to operations and engineering personnel.

Required Qualifications
• 10+ years of experience engineering and supporting mission-critical IP networks at scale.
• Strong background in broadcast/media transport over IP environments.
• Hands-on expertise with Arista platforms and modern data-center architectures.
• Deep understanding of multicast, QoS, PTP timing, and real-time media synchronization.
• Proficiency with network automation tools such as Ansible and scripting languages like Python.
• Experience with spine-leaf designs, SDN, and VXLAN/EVPN technologies.
• Strong analytical and diagnostic skills, including experience with packet analysis tools such as Wireshark.
• Excellent communication skills and a proven ability to work in fast-paced live production environments.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor teammates and share technical best practices.

Preferred Qualifications
• Background working in broadcast, media, streaming, or live production environments.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Industry certifications (e.g., Arista ACE or similar).
• Experience with orchestration platforms, PTP timing systems, and advanced media-over-IP standards.
