AV Programmer

Job Description

Key Responsibilities & Duties

• Control System Development: Plan, code, and deploy reliable control programs for industry-standard control systems (Crestron, Extron, AMX, or Q-SYS).
• UI/UX Design: Design and customize intuitive, clean graphical user interfaces (GUI) for touch panels, iPads, and web control applications based on client requirements.
• System Commissioning: Perform in-house testing and on-site commissioning to troubleshoot, debug, and fine-tune code alongside physical hardware deployments.
• Audio DSP Configuration: Configure, gain-stage, and calibrate advanced audio DSP files (e.g., Biamp, Q-SYS, BSS) to ensure optimal acoustic performance, echo cancellation, and routing.
• Code Management & Quality Control: Maintain a disciplined, version-controlled source code repository (e.g., Git). Perform peer reviews on code written by junior programmers to ensure efficiency and accuracy.
• Network Integration: Collaborate with internal and client IT/network teams to configure IP-addressable AV devices, navigate firewalls, and optimize AV-over-IP streams.
• Documentation: Create and maintain thorough technical documentation, including system configuration files, IP sheets, API endpoint maps, and user "how-to" operation guides.
• Core AV Platforms: Deep, proven proficiency in at least one major ecosystem (e.g., Crestron SIMPL Windows/C#, Q-SYS Designer, Extron Global Configurator Plus/Professional).
• Modern Scripting Languages: Strong familiarity with modern programming languages used in next-gen AV environments, such as JavaScript, Python, C#, or C++.
• Networking Fundamentals: Solid understanding of TCP/IP, UDP, subnets, VLANs, routing, and network security protocols.
• Problem-Solving: Exceptional analytical and diagnostic skills for handling complex system-level hardware and software faults.
