Field Configuration Engineer

Together, we will:

reliably bring autonomy systems online in production environments

reduce bring-up time through better tooling and automation

validate safety and degraded-mode behavior in real conditions

make configuration repeatable enough to scale beyond AIM engineers

close the gap between software design and field operation

We’ll debug failures late at night, refine workflows under pressure, and steadily turn fragile bring-up processes into robust systems.

Configure autonomy software, perception stacks, networking, and cloud services.

Perform calibration, alignment, and validation of sensors and localization.

Execute first autonomy runs and safety acceptance tests.

Diagnose system failures across compute, networking, sensors, hydraulics, perception, control models, GNSS, and cloud connectivity.

Perform structured root-cause analysis based on logs, system traces, packet captures, machine telemetry, and hardware inspection.

Develop or extend diagnostic tools, scripts, and test harnesses to triage issues faster.

Identify failure patterns and propose mitigations upstream (software, firmware, safety logic, hardware design).

Design and execute on-site test plans (functional, performance, environmental, regression) for autonomy behaviors, safety systems, control responses, and telemetry reliability.

Validate releases, patches, hardware revisions, and autonomy updates under real operational stress.

Maintain clear bug reports, defect triage, downtime logs, and structured feedback cycles into engineering.

Drive quality upstream - flagging architectural/testability gaps early and championing improvements.

Train on-site personnel on system operation and workflows.

Partner with software teams to improve configuration and tuning tools.

Identify gaps that block dealer- or customer-led configuration.

Create service documentation, deployment procedures, troubleshooting guides, and safety protocols.

Work with OEMs and dealers to enable them to install, maintain, and support systems.

Define and improve deployment playbooks that scale globally.

Act as the bridge between customers and AIM engineering - clear, honest, technically grounded communication.

Manage expectations around downtime, features, maintenance windows, and machine readiness.

Build trust through competence, transparency, and ownership.

Deep immersion on customer sites worldwide (US, Australia, Africa, Europe).

~40-70% travel depending on deployment cycles.

You bring systems thinking - connecting field issues to architectural insights.

You can turn ambiguous field failures into structured, repeatable engineering test cases.

You operate calmly under pressure and lead customers through complex issues.

You write clean code, clean documentation, and clean bug reports.

You thrive in the dirt, in the logs, and in the details.

You bridge the gap between engineering vision and field reality.

Solve a massive set of real-world problems that require scalable earth moving

Accomplish that via deploying and expanding cutting edge tech
