Position Overview
Autodesk is seeking a Media Systems Architect to join the Media Productions team to design, evolve, and support the technology ecosystem that enables live production, video production, and media collaboration across the company.
This role is responsible for architecting and scaling the systems, infrastructure, and workflows that power Autodesk’s media production capabilities. The Media Systems Architect will work closely with producers, engineers, IT teams, and cross functional partners to build reliable, scalable, and secure systems that support live broadcasts, recorded content creation, and enterprise communication.
As Autodesk continues to expand how it uses video and live production to connect employees and communicate across the business, the technology supporting these efforts must also evolve. This role focuses on designing and improving the media production pipeline, integrating enterprise platforms, and ensuring the production ecosystem can scale with the needs of the organization.
The Media Systems Architect combines hands-on technical expertise with a systems mindset, helping ensure Autodesk’s media technologies are well designed, well integrated, and aligned with long term business needs. This role reports to the Manager of Media Productions and is based in the Bay Area in a hybrid onsite role. The Media Productions team supports collaboration technologies and media services that enable Autodesk employees to connect and communicate effectively, including live events, video production, post production, digital signage, training environments, and enterprise collaboration technologies.

- Partner with producers, engineers, workplace technology teams, and IT partners to translate business needs into scalable technical solutions
- Serve as the technical owner for key media production platforms including Panopto, Iconik, Flix, LucidLink, AWS, HiScale, and related tools supporting the production ecosystem
- Evaluate and improve workflows across live production, video production, and conference room technology environments where media systems intersect
- Design and maintain broadcast and AV infrastructure including signal routing, production switching, ingest and playout systems, intercom, monitoring, and control environments
- Manage and optimize shared media storage environments, including NAS systems and hybrid cloud based storage workflows
- Support and monitor streaming infrastructure and implement methods for capturing system health, performance metrics, and operational insights
- Develop and maintain clear documentation for system architecture, configurations, workflows, and operational processes
- Collaborate with network and IT teams to ensure reliable connectivity, security, and infrastructure support for production environments
- Serve as Engineer in Charge during high visibility broadcasts and live productions as needed
- Provide technical guidance and escalation support for complex production or infrastructure issues
- Identify opportunities to improve operational efficiency through workflow improvements, automation, and production tracking systems. Familiarity with Airtable or similar workflow tools is a plus
- Continuously evaluate emerging technologies and recommend solutions that strengthen Autodesk’s media production capabilities
Minimum Qualifications
- 8+ years of experience in broadcast engineering, media systems engineering, AV systems engineering, or related production technology environments
- Experience designing, implementing, and supporting complex media systems and production infrastructure
- Strong understanding of live production, video production, and the technical systems that support content creation at scale
- Experience supporting or administering media production platforms such as Panopto, Iconik, Flix, LucidLink, AWS, HiScale, or comparable systems
- Experience managing shared media storage systems including NAS environments and cloud connected workflows
- Strong knowledge of broadcast and AV fundamentals including routing, switching, signal flow, streaming, ingest, playout, and monitoring
- Experience supporting systems across multiple spaces, teams, or geographic locations
- Ability to evaluate workflows and design scalable systems that improve operational efficiency
- Experience collaborating across technical and non technical teams

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Broadcast Engineer
Align your credentials to U.S. specialty occupation standards
Your Australian three-year engineering or broadcast technology degree is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year bachelor's degree. Get a credential evaluation from a NACES-approved evaluator before you start applying so employers don't stall on this question.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Broadcast networks, post-production studios, and live-event production companies that have filed Labor Condition Applications before are far easier to work with than those encountering E-3 for the first time. DOL's disclosure data shows which employers have filed LCAs for engineering roles.
Use Migrate Mate to find verified sponsoring employers
Searching broadly wastes time on roles where sponsorship isn't real. Use Migrate Mate to find Broadcast Engineer positions with confirmed E-3 sponsorship history so every application you send is going to an employer already equipped to file.
Brief your hiring manager on the LCA timeline
The DOL certifies the Labor Condition Application within seven business days in most cases. Hiring managers unfamiliar with E-3 sometimes assume the process takes months. Walking them through the actual timeline early removes a common reason offers get withdrawn before they start.
Clarify whether your role is broadcast operations or IT
Some U.S. employers classify broadcast engineers under IT job codes rather than engineering, which affects the prevailing wage tier the DOL assigns to your LCA. Confirm the Standard Occupational Classification code your employer plans to use before the LCA is filed.
Delegate the filing process after your offer is signed
Once you have a written offer, the LCA, DS-160, and consulate appointment steps run in sequence and have real consequences if filed out of order. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service manages the entire process from offer to consulate appointment so nothing falls through the gaps.
Broadcast Engineer jobs are hiring across the US. Find yours.
Find Broadcast Engineer JobsBroadcast Engineer E-3 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find Broadcast Engineer jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. It surfaces Broadcast Engineer roles where U.S. employers have a confirmed history of E-3 sponsorship, so you're not spending time on listings where sponsorship is uncertain or unavailable. Standard job boards don't filter by visa type or LCA filing history, which makes the search much harder to do efficiently.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Broadcast Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, broadcast technology, electronics, or a closely related field. The degree must be a normal requirement for the role, not just preferred. If the job description says 'degree preferred' rather than 'required,' the specialty occupation standard may not be met, which can create problems at the consulate.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Broadcast Engineer roles?
The E-3 has no annual cap and no lottery, so you can apply at any time of year and get a decision within weeks rather than waiting on a random selection. H-1B petitions enter a lottery with roughly a one-in-four chance of selection, and cap-subject filings can only start once per year. For Australian broadcast engineers, the E-3 is a direct path the H-1B simply can't offer.
What happens to my E-3 status if my broadcast engineering contract ends?
Your E-3 status is tied to your employer and role, so if the contract ends your authorized period effectively ends with it. USCIS does not publish a formal grace period for E-3 holders the way it does for H-1B, so you should treat your last day of employment as the deadline for either starting a new sponsorship process or departing. A new employer means a new LCA and a new E-3 application.
