Or equivalent experience acquired through accomplishments of applicable knowledge, duties, scope and skill reflective of the level of this position.
• 3+ years of experience in AV/IT operations, experience design, or digital media production

• Strong technical understanding of broadcast production tools and enterprise AV control architectures
