Following the close of a $200M Series B, valuing the company at $1.4 billion, we are expanding our teams and capabilities to deliver mission-critical systems to allied forces.\nOur work is guided by clear values: building technologies with real-world impact, pursuing excellence in everything we do, setting ambitious goals, and taking on the hardest technical challenges. We operate in a demanding environment where rigor, ownership, and execution are expected.\nAbout the Role\nAs Field Deployment Engineer, you are responsible for the end-to-end deployment, installation, commissioning, and sustainment of the company's technical systems at client sites. You own system functionality in the field from initial site survey through on-site acceptance - across both hardware and software. You are also the expert operator on-site: you develop deep mastery of the system, operate it proficiently in the field, and train client teams toward full autonomy.\nThis is an engineer-level role with a strong field and hardware lean - not a pure developer role, not a technician role. The dual hardware and software capability is essential. High travel and extended on-site campaigns are core to this position.\nResponsibilities\nSite Assessment: Evaluate customer sites ahead of deployment; identify prerequisites, constraints, and installation requirements.\n\nHardware Deployment: Install, assemble, connect, and bring up the system's physical components and equipment on site.\n\nSoftware Deployment: Install, configure, and parameterise the system's software for each operational context; comfortable on Linux.\n\nCommissioning: Bring the full system online and verify correct end-to-end functionality across hardware and software.\n\nIntegration Support: Support connection of the company's systems with the client's existing operational environment, working alongside integration engineers.\n\nTest & Acceptance: Conduct on-site testing and acceptance activities through to client sign-off.\n\nTroubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve hardware, software, and networking issues in the field; drive resolution and feed recurring findings back to engineering.\n\nSystem Expertise & Operation: Develop deep, hands-on mastery of the system; operate it proficiently in the field and serve as the on-site technical reference.\n\nTraining & Enablement: Train and coach client operators and maintainers on system use, operation, and maintenance; build toward their autonomy; contribute to training and maintenance documentation.\n\nMaintenance & Sustainment: Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on deployed systems; carry out diagnostics, repairs, and return-to-service procedures.\n\nCandidate Requirements\n2-5 years of hands-on field or technical experience - field operations, systems integration, test, or manufacturing.\n\nProven proficiency across both hardware and software deployment - comfortable assembling and connecting physical equipment and installing, configuring, and parameterising software. This dual capability is essential, not a nice-to-have.\n\nElectromechanical aptitude: hardware assembly, electrical hookup, ability to read technical diagrams and schematics.\n\nNetworking fundamentals: connectivity setup and diagnostics.\n\nComfortable on Linux; deploying, configuring, and debugging software in operational settings.\n\nSystems thinking: ability to reason across an integrated system of multiple subsystems, not a single component.\n\nAbility to master the system as an expert user and to teach it - strong communication and coaching skills, comfortable training client personnel.\n\nHands-on maintenance and repair experience: preventive checks, fault diagnosis, corrective action, and return-to-service.\n\nField temperament: autonomous in austere environments, procedurally rigorous, strong safety mindset in safety-critical operational settings.\n\nComfortable with a high travel rate and extended on-site campaigns - this is core to the role.\n\nProficiency in English is mandatory; additional languages relevant to the region of operations are a plus.\n\nNice to Have\nExperience with complex hardware-software integrated systems.\n\nExperience integrating systems with third-party operational environments.\n\nPrior experience training or instructing end-users (train-the-trainer).\n\nPrior experience in field-based deployments or high-stakes operational environments.\n\nWe look forward to hearing how you can help shape the future of autonomous defense systems at Harmattan AI.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4561,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Military Drones","Defense Manufacturing","Defense AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T10:21:51Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":14,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.381,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":136,"expected_fill_days":74,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/harmattan-ai-field-deployment-engineer-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/harmattan-ai-field-deployment-engineer-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T01:51:22Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2496,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":8839},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8839"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fharmattan-ai-field-deployment-engineer-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fharmattan-ai-field-deployment-engineer-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fharmattan-ai-field-deployment-engineer-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/harmattan-ai-field-deployment-engineer-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fharmattan-ai-field-deployment-engineer-2"}]}
