Broadcast Engineer Jobs in California

A Broadcast Engineer plays a crucial role in the broadcasting industry, ensuring that broadcasts are aired smoothly and on schedule. They are responsible for setting up, maintaining, and troubleshooting the technology and systems used for broadcasting, which include television and radio transmission systems, satellite communications, and computer networks. They work closely with the production team to coordinate and execute live broadcasts and are often responsible for monitoring and adjusting signals and audio levels to ensure high-quality output.
