About The Position

This job is ideal for those who want to combine their excitement for sporting and live events with audio engineering. You will be working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with a group of close-knit, passionate, and talented teammates that serve a wide range of customers including internal associates, major and private events, and fans. If you enjoy collaborating closely with others to serve the business and address opportunities, this role is for you. The Senior Audio Engineer is responsible for the maintenance, reliability, and continuous improvement of all in‑venue audio systems supporting Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta United, NWSL Atlanta (2028), College Football, concerts, and private events. This role focuses on system upkeep, break/fix response, infrastructure optimization, and operational readiness, ensuring audio systems are consistently event‑ready and low‑risk. The Senior Audio Engineer works closely with Stadium Production, Engineering, IT, and external vendors to maintain and improve audio environments, reduce downtime, simplify workflows, and ensure successful outcomes for stakeholders, operators, and events. Occasional support for operator training or mixing assistance may be required, but live event mixing is not a primary responsibility. The position will primarily be based in Atlanta, GA at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium but will also work from other locations around metro Atlanta as needed. Must be able to carry a cell phone and respond quickly to occasional requests for critical assistance. Working events at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium will be required, which includes a variety of weekends, holidays and days/nights. Some occasional travel may be required.

• Support SMAART / SPL systems, measurement workflows, and data integrity.
