The role is a design function within a team who are responsible for the design of solutions targeting UK and International Broadcasters. This will mean that the designer will need to put together and take responsibility for the full E2E aspects that will include Network, Video and Audio elements of solutions to meet the needs of Broadcasters. These solutions typically comprise a mixture of off the shelf' pure Network (L3 IP/MPLS & L2 VPN), Broadcast technologies (Video, Audio etc) particularly in the Encoding, Decoding and Monitoring of TV and Audio signals for Distribution services between and within Broadcasters networks.
Key responsibilities of this role are:
- To provide Engineering Design leadership and steer, guidance and support in managing aspects of the Media and Broadcast areas specifically in the design of the End to End (E2E) network topology, understanding the services, capacities and failure scenarios.
- These networks convey Broadcast and IP signals using a MPLS/Multicasting. ie L3 IP/MPLS and L2 VPN, Multicasting point to multipoint within a VPN, BGP, OSPF, CoS.
- Develop and agree scope for TV deliveries and designs and recommend scope for more complex and/or new network service feature and platform design activities.

- Experience with working with network topology tools Aria/OPNET/other equivalent tool is essential.
- Must have a proven track record of Topology Design and solutions - from small to large scale networks.
- Must have a proven track record for mapping medium to large complex networks, analysing E2E networks, failure scenarios, services and network capacity.
- Must have an excellent working knowledge of availability and resiliency requirements of network topology
- Must have an excellent knowledge of topology design principles with the ability to model and analyse different and complex network scenarios to produce High level & Low level Designs.
