AV Service Engineer — Control Systems & Device Integration
Full Job Posting
Configuration & Control Design
Design, build, and deploy custom VUE widget layouts and workspaces tailored to customer operational workflows
Integrate VUE with MAGNUM-OS for router control, multiviewer management, master control/branding, and playout systems
Configure alarms, salvos, UMDs, and automation/override widgets to match site-specific operational requirements
Device Driver Development
Create new device drivers for third-party equipment not natively supported by VUE, based on vendor protocol documentation (serial, IP, etc.)
Modify and extend existing Evertz device drivers to support additional functionality, firmware revisions, or non-standard implementations
Test, validate, and document driver behavior against real hardware in lab and field environments
Work with Evertz product/R&D teams to escalate driver issues, contribute improvements back into the driver library, and stay current on VUE's driver framework as it evolves
Third-Party API Integration
Evaluate third-party device APIs (REST, SOAP, WebSocket, proprietary SDKs) and determine the best integration path — existing driver, custom driver, or direct API call configuration within VUE
Configure VUE to communicate directly with device-native APIs where full driver development isn't required or practical
Troubleshoot authentication, polling/subscription behavior, and latency issues between VUE and third-party systems
Document integration patterns for reuse across future projects and customers
Field & Customer Support
Commission VUE-based control systems on customer sites and deliver operational training
Respond to customer issues involving control logic, driver behavior, or third-party integration failures; troubleshoot to root cause
Partner with sales engineering and product management to scope control/integration requirements during the pre-sales and design phase
Author internal documentation (driver specs, integration notes, best practices) for the technical support and engineering teams
Required
Degree or diploma in Computer Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline — or equivalent hands-on experience
Hands-on programming/scripting ability (e.g., C#, C++, Python, JavaScript, or similar) sufficient to build or modify device drivers from a protocol spec
Working knowledge of common device communication protocols: TCP/IP, UDP, serial (RS-232/RS-422/RS-485), SNMP, and RESTful/SOAP web APIs
Comfort reading third-party equipment documentation (protocol manuals, SDKs, MIBs, APIs and other standards specifications) and translating it into working control logic
Strong troubleshooting instincts — comfortable diagnosing whether an issue lives in the device, the network, the driver, or the VUE configuration
Willingness to travel to customer sites for commissioning, training, and escalated support
Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to document technical work clearly for both internal teams and customers
Strongly Preferred
Prior experience programming AV control systems (Crestron SIMPL/SIMPL#, AMX NetLinx, Extron Global Scripter/GUI Designer, Q-SYS)
Exposure to Evertz MAGNUM-OS, VistaLINK PRO, or broadcast router control concepts (sources/destinations, salvos, tally/UMD)
Experience integrating disparate systems via API (building or consuming REST/SOAP endpoints, handling auth tokens, parsing JSON/XML)
Familiarity with SDVN/SMPTE ST 2110, IP-based broadcast infrastructure, or Pro AV over IP environments
Working knowledge of Linux
Nice to Have
AVIXA CTS / CTS-D / CTS-I certification
Experience with Evertz MAGNUM School, MAGNUM-OS Academy, or VistaLINK School training
Background supporting government, defense, or other secure/mission-critical AV environments
