Field Optimization

Tune autonomy behaviors for specific tasks and environments.

Analyze performance metrics, failure modes, and edge cases.

Validate ConOps, safety assumptions, and degraded-mode behavior against real site conditions.

Identify patterns in autonomy behavior and failure.

Translate field insights into actionable inputs for AI and planning teams.

Validate improvements under real operating conditions.

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.

Write production-grade code when needed - scripts, integrations, custom workflows, or quick fixes to unblock deployments.

Build customer workflow integrations (data APIs, cloud ingestion, operator UI tweaks, etc.).

Partner with autonomy, software, and hardware teams to validate features in the field and influence product direction.

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.
