Forward Deployed Engineer
TAR, San Francisco Bay Area
TAR has this job in 1 other place
The role
TAR builds its own construction robots to install solar power campuses faster than crews can by hand, and the first of those machines are in the field now. They run in dust, heat, and remote conditions where downtime stalls the whole build. As Forward Deployed Engineer, you are the first line of technical response for those robots in the field: you deploy them, get them running to spec, and diagnose whatever goes wrong across mechanical, electrical, and software or controls.
You take field failures from first symptom through root cause, resolving what you can on-site and feeding the systemic issues back to design and manufacturing engineering so the next machine is better. This is a hands-on generalist role based at our San Francisco robotics facility, with multi-week deployments at our West Texas site.
What you will do
- Deploy, set up, and commission TAR's robotic systems in the field, configuring and validating each one to spec before and during operation so it performs under real site conditions.
