📋 Description

• We are seeking a Sr Field Application Engineer to bridge the gap between field execution and design improvements. • This role combines hands-on field support with technical expertise to improve the design, operation, and performance of our equipment. • The Field Operations Engineer will be embedded in the field, managing installations, troubleshooting issues, and working directly with engineering teams to adjust designs based on real-world feedback. • In addition to field support, this role will involve system-level design work, including selecting and modifying commercially available components, defining performance benchmarks, and improving overall system efficiency. • The ideal candidate will have strong technical problem-solving skills, a proactive mindset, and the ability to balance field execution with strategic design improvements. • If you are comfortable and happy working with your hands in a dynamic environment, and are curious to be at the forefront of a new technology then this is the role for you

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in mechanical, electrical, or electromechanical engineering — or equivalent field experience in a highly technical field. • 3+ years of hands-on experience in a field-based engineering or technical role (e.g., field operations, commissioning, or systems engineering). • Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting experience with complex electromechanical systems and custom control logic integrated into operational equipment • Proficiency with CAD software for reviewing and modifying 2D and 3D models • Ability to identify system, sub-system, and component requirements based on performance needs and to size and select commercially available components (e.g., generators, pumps, air compressors) accordingly • Experience in modifying off-the-shelf components for integration into custom systems. • Experience setting up and running controlled experiments to define and measure key performance benchmarks. • Proven ability to identify and implement process improvements to enhance equipment performance and operational efficiency. • Ability to develop basic project forecasts (material costs, testing plans, timelines) and assess ROI for design and operational decisions. • Experience managing vendor relationships and coordinating with machine shops or fabrication partners. • Capability to adapt, operate, and act calmly and decisively in an ambiguous environment • Ability to clearly articulate technical issues and solutions to the business within and beyond the engineering team • Ability to engage with customers and contractors confidently • Attention and desire to champion process and get the details right • Ability to operate self-driving vehicles on public roads, which is a safety-sensitive function that requires a valid drivers’ license in good standing, a driving record that meets regulatory and internal standards for safety, and passing drug and alcohol testing
