We’re looking for a Junior Post Engineer to join our Post Engineering team in Vancouver. This role is ideal for someone with hands‑on experience in post, AV, or VFX environments who wants to deepen their technical engineering skills in a high‑end animation studio.

You’ll be a front‑line post engineering resource for our editorial suites, story and review rooms, and our screening theatre. You’ll help ensure our specialty spaces are robust, predictable, and technically sound - from day‑to‑day operations and Tier 1 support through to screenings, production reviews, and special events.

* Troubleshooting complex specialty spaces (review rooms, theater, multi‑screen/multi‑channel environments)

* Operating and supporting Q‑SYS–based room control and DSP

* Understanding and maintaining SDR and HDR colour pipelines for review and screenings

This role requires occasional evening and weekend work, particularly around screenings, special events, and critical production milestones.

* Story and Review Rooms

* Theater and other specialty screening spaces

* Audio suites (Avid Pro Tools)

* Avid Media Composer and Avid Pro Tools

* Autodesk RV and other VFX/animation review tools

* Q‑SYS–controlled systems (routing, presets, room states, monitoring)

* Playback systems, operator workstations, and peripherals

Perform basic verification of audio/video signal flow and KVM paths; identify when to escalate to more senior engineers.

Clearly document issues and escalate complex problems to the Post Engineering team and cross functionals with relevant details, logs, and reproducible steps.

Screenings, Reviews & Events

* Internal screenings and dailies

* Production reviews in our theater and review rooms

* External screenings, previews, and Q&A sessions

* Xenon-based digital cinema projectors

* Q‑SYS (or similar) audio/room automation systems

* Playback, presentation, and basic routing of audio and video content

* Ensure correct colour space, dynamic range, and format are used for each screening (e.g., SDR vs HDR, Rec.709 vs P3), flagging inconsistencies or mismatches.

* Partner with Production, Editorial, Facilities, and vendors to ensure events start on time and run smoothly.

Media Systems & Workflows

* Support day‑to‑day operation of media and review systems used in animation and VFX pipelines, including:

* Avid editorial workflows

* Routine checks and basic maintenance of theaters, review rooms, and editorial systems

* Verifying and troubleshooting audio/video signal flow and KVM paths where required

Operations, Documentation & Collaboration

* Perform regular room and system health checks; log issues, resolutions, and follow‑ups

* Contribute to and maintain documentation of room configurations, standard operating procedures, and common troubleshooting steps (e.g., within Jira, Confluence, or similar tools)

* Work closely within Post Engineering, Technology, and Production teams to ensure stable, predictable, and artist‑friendly environments.

* Provide calm, professional support in live, time‑sensitive scenarios such as screenings and reviews.

* Participate in off‑hours maintenance and event coverage on a rotational or as‑needed basis.
