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 contribute to how Harmattan deploys and sustains its ground systems in the field, across multiple sites and contracts. You combine hands-on deployment work - installation, commissioning, troubleshooting - with the documentation, methodology, and training materials that make our deployment approach repeatable beyond any single location. You also support the enablement of local deployment teams and interface with our engineering teams on the requirements, fixes, and updates that come out of the field.\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 deployment sites ahead of installation; 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\nDeployment Strategy & Documentation: Contribute to deployment methodology, documentation, and playbooks designed to be used across sites, not just where they were written.\n\nLocal Team Enablement: Support the creation and growth of local deployment teams - building training materials and providing hands-on support.\n\nEngineering Interface: Interface with engineering teams on product requirements coming from deployments, and on debugging and updates.\n\nTroubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve hardware, software, and networking issues in the field; feed recurring findings back to engineering.\n\nCandidate Requirements\n2-5 years of hands-on field or technical experience - field operations, systems integration, test, or manufacturing - with complex, integrated hardware/software systems.\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\nSystems thinking: ability to reason across an integrated system of multiple subsystems, not a single component.\n\nAbility to master a system as an expert user and to teach it - strong communication and coaching skills, comfortable training and enabling teams.\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\nExposure to documenting or standardizing a deployment process for use beyond a single site.\n\nExperience working across multiple sites or geographies.\n\nPrior experience training or instructing end-users (train-the-trainer).\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":4110,"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":47,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.777,"p_room":0.6,"age_days":68,"expected_fill_days":89,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:late","crowd:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/harmattan-ai-field-deployment-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/harmattan-ai-field-deployment-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T15:04:38Z","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":23800,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"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"},{"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"},{"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"},{"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\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fharmattan-ai-field-deployment-engineer"}]}
