AV Network Design Engineer (Miami)
Control AV is looking for AV Network Design Engineer (Miami) in Miami, FL.
This local job opportunity with ID 3892362710 is live since 2026-10-16 00:12:06.
About the Role: Control AV, LLC is a design-build systems integrator serving the cruise industry, delivering broadcast, entertainment, and communications infrastructure for both shipyards and vessel owners across newbuild construction and refit/drydock projects. We are seeking an AV Network Design Engineer to architect the IP network infrastructure that carries AV, broadcast, and media traffic across our shipboard systems. This is a design engineering role, not network administration or IT support. The focus is planning, specifying, designing, and commissioning networks during design and construction, topology, redundancy, capacity, and standards compliance not day-to-day operation of a vessel's IT systems post-delivery. Key Responsibilities: Network Architecture & Design Design IP network topology, VLAN segmentation, and multicast routing (IGMP/PIM) for AV and broadcast traffic, and specify switches, routers, and fiber/copper infrastructure sized for AV-over-IP protocols (SMPTE ST 2110, QLAN, Dante, NDI) Engineer QoS/traffic prioritization and PTP timing/synchronization to support real-time, low-latency media flows Redundancy & Standards Compliance Design resilient, redundant network paths (e.g., SMPTE 2022-7 style dual-path protection) for mission-critical broadcast and production traffic Design network segmentation and produce topology documentation that clearly demarcates the AV/broadcast network from the vessel's safety-critical OT systems, supporting the ship's overall IACS UR E26/E27 compliance Newbuild & Refit Execution Produce network architecture diagrams, IP addressing schemas, and port/cable schedules for shipyard installation teams Support FAT/SAT, commissioning, and sea trials — verifying multicast flows, latency, and redundancy failover performance Documentation & Coordination Maintain as-built network documentation and asset inventories to support class and cybersecurity requirements Define integration and handoff points with the vessel's core IT/OT network, coordinating with (not operating) the owner's IT infrastructure team Required Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Network Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience 3 years designing IP networks specifically for AV, broadcast, or media production environments — not general enterprise IT/network administration Strong grounding in network fundamentals: VLAN segmentation, multicast routing, QoS/traffic prioritization, redundant topology design Familiarity with AV-over-IP standards and protocols (SMPTE ST 2110, SMPTE 2022-7, AES67, QLAN, Dante, NDI) Ability to produce network architecture diagrams, IP addressing schemas, and port/cable schedules Willingness and ability to travel (10-25%), including international shipyards Valid passport or ability to obtain a passport as a condition of employment Preferred Qualifications: Prior experience in cruise (newbuild or refit) or themed entertainment industries. Familiarity with IACS UR E26/E27 cyber resilience requirements, particularly how they drive network segmentation and boundary documentation between IT/entertainment networks and OT/safety-critical systems Vendor certifications relevant to AV/media networking (e.g., SDVoE, Cisco, Arista, Audinate Dante) Schedule/Work Location: Employment Type: Full-time Ability to Commute/Travel Location: Miami, FL 33169 Monday to Friday - In person/Office Benefits: 401(k) Health insurance Dental insurance Vision insurance Paid time off5c143e31-5e48-4549-b638-05792d185386
