As an AV Engineer, your primary role will be within AV Operations, where you'll be responsible for managing the global conference room AV experience. In AV Operations, we strive to improve user experience in collaboration, communication and productivity by identifying the AV needs of users, proactively testing new technological solutions, and monitoring/interpreting ticket data to find and reduce friction. We then provide tools, guidance and support to ensure the best experience. We value quick adaptation to new technologies and the ability to implement them swiftly and efficiently.
You will also work cross-functionally within AV Events, which includes managing the setup, support, and teardown of AV equipment and coordinating with external vendors as necessary. This position requires flexible hours as events may take place after normal business hours or on the weekend.
In addition, our AV team aids in the design and construction of meeting spaces throughout our enterprise and studio facilities. We rely on Google Meet with Chromebox for Meetings hardware for the virtual meeting experience, and build solutions to optimize the experience. You’ll be empowered to look for ways to optimize the conference room experience for users and partner teams, demonstrating flexibility and adaptability in meeting diverse needs.
Strategic Priorities:
- Leverage data to identify and eliminate friction or inefficiency in AV Systems.
- Collaborate closely with the support team to quickly recognize trends, pinpoint root causes, and refine designs to enhance stability.

- Provide technical support to other Engineers across various AV domains (Builds, Events, Studio) when required.
- Provide live event technical support acting as a member of the AV crew, providing pre-production through post-production and operating production equipment.
- Help with commissioning and handover of all new conference, specialty, studio, and event spaces in Los Gatos.
