Forward Deployed Engineer

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 a 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. You work alongside our on-site crew of assemblers, machinists, and a welder, so a fix you sketch in the morning can be built and back on the robot the same day. This is a hands-on generalist role based full-time at our test site in West Texas.
