LED display systems, scoreboards, and digital signage for stadiums and out-of-home advertising
Daktronics manufactures large-scale LED video systems, scoreboards, and digital signage deployed across stadiums, retail, and transportation infrastructure. The tech stack reveals a hardware-centric manufacturing operation—CAD (Creo, AutoCAD), 3D analysis (RISA), and embedded systems (C, C++, Python)—paired with cloud infrastructure (Azure, Kubernetes) and front-end tooling (Angular, TypeScript). Hiring is heavily skewed toward interns and junior roles in manufacturing and engineering, with inventory management and indoor digital signage adoption as recurring operational challenges.
