Video Solutions Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled Video Systems Engineer to support the end‑to‑end design, installation, configuration, optimisation and customisation of our software in complex video network deployments.

This role is a key part of our customer delivery organisation and will actively contribute across all stages of the project lifecycle — from early design discussions and documentation review, to hands-on installation, real-time troubleshooting, acceptance testing, and customer enablement.

The ideal candidate combines strong technical expertise with excellent communication skills, a collaborative mindset, and the ability to adapt quickly in fast‑moving project environments. You will work closely with senior engineers, R&D, Product Management, Project Managers and customer stakeholders to ensure high‑quality, reliable deployments that meet the evolving needs of our global customers.

If you thrive in dynamic environments, enjoy problem‑solving, and want to work with cutting‑edge video and IP technologies, this role offers a high degree of autonomy, technical challenge, and professional growth.
