Swarm Aero, Oxnard
Our software runs in real military operations, and someone has to be there when it does.
We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to work on site with military operators in Oxnard, California. You will be the technical link between the operators and our engineering team. On most operating days, you will work inside a secure operations center, keeping our C2 software running and fixing problems as they happen.
You will support our customer through workups, deployments, and major exercises. You will make sure our software works with the systems around it, and every issue you capture in the field will go straight back to our product and engineering teams.
This role starts with on-site support and grows into a full forward deployed engineering role. As you learn the system, you will take on more of the engineering work, including building integrations and contributing code.
This role is open to multiple experience levels. We will match the level and pay to your experience.
