Overview

We are seeking an AV Engineer, IT Support to join our GitHub IT Support team. The AV Engineer manages the day-to-day operation, reliability, maintenance, and continuous improvement of enterprise audio-visual spaces and event technologies. The role owns the experience across conference rooms, executive briefing and leadership meeting rooms, training spaces, and large venues used for all-hands meetings, town halls, hybrid broadcasts, and other high-visibility events.

The AV Engineer provides hands-on support for internal and external events, partners closely with Workplace and related teams, and serves as a technical resource for room capabilities, equipment, and operating standards. The role requires practical knowledge of how AV spaces function as integrated environments—not only how to operate them, but also how to monitor, maintain, troubleshoot, document, and improve them. When not supporting events or AV spaces, the AV Engineer assists IT Support with basic end-user troubleshooting and service tickets.

Workplace and Cross-Functional Partnership

• Provides AV input for office changes, room refreshes, construction projects, furniture changes, expansions, and technology improvements.

• Builds strong working relationships and provides clear guidance on room capabilities, limitations, support requirements, and recommended solutions.

Response and Resolution

• Reviews AV incidents and service requests, contacts customers to understand the issue, and uses documented troubleshooting methods, logs, monitoring tools, and diagnostic utilities to identify solutions.
• Resolves or escalates varied room, collaboration, and event technology issues while keeping stakeholders informed of status and resolution.
• Documents technical work, case notes, known issues, how-to guidance, operating procedures, and support handoffs.
• Uses runbooks and known-problem documentation to resolve routine issues and contributes to root-cause analysis for recurring failures.

Product and Process Improvement

• Reviews room health, incident trends, utilization information, and event feedback to identify recurring problems and improvement opportunities.
• Recommends room technology enhancements, equipment replacements, monitoring improvements, workflow changes, and automation opportunities.
• Contributes to AV standards, runbooks, readiness materials, support procedures, and knowledge documentation.
• Collects and shares operational feedback with senior engineers, Workplace partners, vendors, and technical advisors.
