Advanced Troubleshooting: Rapidly diagnose and resolve hardware, software, and signal-flow issues (IP addressing, VLANs, and QoS).
-
Sustainment: Perform preventive maintenance, manage hardware inventory, and coordinate complex equipment replacements or RMAs.

Experience: 5+ years supporting enterprise-grade VTC or professional Audiovisual (AV) systems.
