Technical Director (Los Angeles, Ca)

Live Switching & Execution: Physically operate the production switcher during the daily live broadcast, executing clean cuts and video effects instantly on the Senior Producer's call.

Control Room Setup & Workflow: Configure and maintain the control room architecture. Build and save custom macros, registers, and snapshots to ensure the daily look of the show is consistent and easily retrievable.

Signal & Feed Management: Manage all incoming and outgoing signals. Coordinate the seamless integration of remote guests via Zoom, etc, ensuring low-latency video and mix-minus audio are locked before going live.

Technical Quality Control: Monitor video and audio levels throughout the broadcast to ensure compliance with premium streaming standards. Act as the primary gatekeeper against frame drops, stream lag, or audio syncing issues.

Equipment Oversight & Maintenance: Oversee the studio’s physical technical infrastructure, including robotic cameras (PTZ), lighting grids, encoders, and hardware/software updates.

Crisis Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve technical failures (e.g., dropped remote feeds, frozen graphics engines, signal loss) mid-broadcast without interrupting the viewer experience.

Post-Show Archive: Manage the master recording configuration, ensuring clean and dirty cuts of the broadcast are properly encoded, archived, and handed off to the post-production and social teams.
