NETGEAR is seeking a highly skilled Professional Services & Premium Support Engineer to support our growing ProAV business in the US. This is a field-first role with significant travel, not a desk-based support position.

• Work on-site during installations, go-lives, and live or near-live events.

• Design and troubleshoot AV networks supporting Dante, AES67, NDI, and ST2110/IPMX.

• Manage multicast environments, ensuring proper IGMP behavior, QoS, VLAN segmentation, and bandwidth control.

• Support and troubleshoot PTP timing environments.

• Handle multi-vendor interoperability challenges.

• Perform deep technical analysis using packet captures and diagnostic tools.

• Act as a trusted technical advisor on-site with customers and partners.

• Collaborate with Systems Engineers and Sales teams for pre-sales support.

• Document findings, solutions, and best practices.

• Provide feedback to Product and Engineering on field observations and customer needs.

Required Qualifications

• 5–10+ years of experience in network engineering, AV integration, or Professional Services.

• Strong expertise in IP networking including multicast, VLANs, QoS, and switching.

• Hands-on experience with AV over IP technologies: Dante, AES67, NDI.

• Exposure to ST2110, IPMX, and PTP timing environments preferred.

• Experience in AV environments such as corporate AV, live production, or broadcast.

• Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic skills in complex, live environments.

• Proven experience working on-site with enterprise customers and system integrators.

• Willingness and ability to travel extensively across the US.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills with both technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Relevant certifications: Dante Level 2+, AVIXA CTS, CCNP, or equivalent.

Travel Requirements

Extensive travel across the US required. This role involves frequent multi-day on-site engagements and flexibility to support urgent customer situations.

Preferred Attributes

• Comfortable in a field-based, travel-heavy role and thrives in dynamic environments.

• Calm under pressure in critical, time-sensitive situations.

• Highly independent and decisive with strong judgment in the field.

• Customer-first mindset with a focus on outcomes and satisfaction.

• Execution-focused with strong organizational and follow-through habits.
