The Video Encoding Engineer will work within the Marcom Video Production team to manage the output, packaging, and quality control of incoming video and motion graphics projects. As such, this role requires someone with a keen eye for quality control and the willingness and ability to make recommendations for best practices to production teams.
This is a fast-paced environment, best suited for an adept multitasker who can help manage massive amounts of data on tight deadlines — in addition to core job responsibilities.
Description
The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor’s of Science in a Video, Motion Graphics, or a related field. Preferred work experience includes current or recently-performed duties as a motion graphic artist, video editor, or technical role with focus on web delivery as the final output.
Strong knowledge of digital audio and video standards, codecs, and formats including H264/H265, HEVC, MPEG2/4, ProRes, HLS, HDR-10, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos is ideal. The candidate will also need to demonstrate strong understanding and comfortability with software (i.e., Compressor, Adobe Media Encoder, Transkoder, etc.), hardware, technologies, and processes related to the production of digital media (i.e., mobile devices, web, live and VOD content). You must also be a proven communicator and team player in order to facilitate efficient execution of projects.
Importantly, the Video Encoding Engineer must be able to communicate effectively with team members in the Video Tech and Accessibility teams, and should be prepared to develop a deep understanding of post production workflow and procedures. Ideal candidates will possess — or be eager to develop — an expertise in video encoding, audio/video technical specs, scripting, and a fundamental understanding of video workflow procedures.
