How You’ll Contribute:

Diversified is seeking an AV & Studio Systems Engineer to serve as the primary onsite technical resource for a newly integrated, high-end corporate AV, executive presentation, collaboration, and studio environment in New York City.

This position is responsible for the daily readiness, maintenance, troubleshooting, and operational support of the AV environment. The Engineer will perform preventive maintenance and break/fix support, prepare rooms for meetings and executive presentations, troubleshoot live technical issues, coordinate escalations with OEMs and engineering teams, and maintain system documentation.

The role will also provide operational support for routine studio and presentation workflows, including PTZ cameras, basic switching, audio/video monitoring, and content playback.
