That's where you come in. •Direct impact: your fixes and field reports shape how OKSI's next systems get built — you'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the same engineers who designed the hardware and software you're supporting. •Ownership from day one: as the on-site technical authority, you make the calls that keep a deployment running, without layers of process to work through. •Variety: no two deployments look the same — one week it's an embedded software issue, the next it's a mechanical fix in the field, the next it's briefing a government program office. •Small-company visibility: at a small company, your work is seen and known — not buried in a large program's org chart. •Field Deployment & Support •Travel to customer sites, test ranges, and program locations to install, configure, operate, and maintain sensor, software, and autonomous platform systems •Conduct pre-deployment checks and prepare field kits, hardware, and software builds for mission readiness Qualifications: •Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related technical discipline •Minimum 4 years of combined software and mechanical engineering experience, including field service, test & evaluation, or military UAS/sensor system roles •Required proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, C++, C, or MATLAB) and CAD tools (SolidWorks, AutoCAD) •Solid functional working knowledge of Linux-based systems and command-line operations •Demonstrated capacity to obtain a Department of Defense Secret clearance •Willingness and ability to travel extensively (60–70%), including to austere field conditions •Prior experience as a field service engineer or test engineer •To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. •1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. •1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
