Are you ready to join an innovative team that pushes the boundaries of creativity and delivers top-notch results? At Aardvark Studios, we design and build cutting-edge mobile experiences—from LED billboard trucks to custom kiosks and immersive interactives for one-of-a-kind experiences. Our tech team brings these builds to life, powering everything from DJ-grade sound systems to massive LED walls, custom IoT setups, and interactive displays. The experiential technology specialist performs tasks ranging from design & documentation to implementation & support. We’re looking for a hands-on Experiential Technology Specialist who can roll up their sleeves, manage wires like a pro, and make complex systems usable and clear—even for non-tech clients.

- Set up and configure networking solutions like Starlink, Cradlepoint, and local WiFi systems
- Integrate and support IoT devices (Nest, Sonos, Leviton, smart switches, etc.)
- Program and deploy media players, kiosks, and smart devices using tools like Raspberry Pi, BrightSign, or similar
- Develop and maintain documentation for all assigned projects, including parts lists, technical / operating descriptions, and schematics
- Maintain exceptional wire management—your work should be clean, serviceable, and safe, even under pressure
- Collaborate with our fabrication team to fit tech into real-world builds with limited space and high visibility
- Translate complex systems into plain English for clients, teammates, and field users—no jargon
- Coordinate with vendors to obtain quotes, manage timelines, and resolve service or maintenance issues.
- Travel to project sites occasionally for install or last-minute troubleshooting, as well as be available on-call during major events
