We’re looking for a hands-on Lab Engineer to join the networking device development team responsible for Evertz IP switch fabric products, including the EXE and NATX, and Evertz SDI router products, including the NEXX and ENX platforms. In this role, you’ll keep our development lab running smoothly — managing device wiring, maintaining hardware inventory, and supporting the CI/CD infrastructure that the engineering team relies on daily. This is a fully on-site position (5 days per week) given the hands-on nature of the work.

Maintain an accurate inventory database of all data center devices, cabling, and port assignments

Develop and maintain support utility scripts in Python and Bash to streamline lab operations and support remote access to lab devices

Contribute to the maintenance of the team’s Jenkins CI infrastructure as needed, including updating Jenkins packages and plugins, maintaining build scripts (Python/Bash), and occasional triage of build failures. This responsibility is shared across the team based on workload and availability

Qualifications

Diploma or degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Networking, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or a related field

1–2 years of experience with Python and Bash scripting





Basic understanding of networking concepts (Ethernet, IP addressing, VLANs, cable types) and the ability to work with structured cabling, including copper and fiber optic

Familiarity with audio/video cabling, connectors, and optical transceivers (SFP/QSFP) used in broadcast or AV environments is an asset

Experience with Jenkins or similar CI/CD tools

Comfortable working in a hands-on lab setting, including racking/unracking equipment, managing cables, and troubleshooting physical connectivity

Strong organizational skills and attention to detail for maintaining accurate inventory and documentation

Ability to work independently and prioritize tasks based on engineering team needs

A willingness to learn recent technologies and take ownership of improving existing designs, processes, and tools for the betterment of the product and the team

Nice to Have

Exposure to broadcast networking, SDI, and SMPTE ST 2110 environments

Basic awareness of PTP (Precision Time Protocol) and its role in broadcast timing and synchronization

Experience with network device configuration or management tools
