Field System Engineer (USA)

Field Systems Engineer

Are you looking to work at the intersection of mechanical, electrical, software, and robotics engineering, and do you like making complex systems operational and reliable in the field?

This is the opportunity for multi-disciplinary engineers to become an important link between development and execution: you make sure our technology and platforms are integrated end-to-end, assuring that there is a system that excels in the real-life critical operations at our global customers!

You make the difference

As a Field Systems Engineer, you will contribute to the successful deployment, commissioning, and long-term reliability of our current and next-generation automatic coupling systems for charging electric vehicles at customer sites worldwide.

This role sits at the intersection of mechanical systems, electrical controls, robotics programming, connectivity, and on-site process flows. You'll be the one connecting all of those pieces, ensuring the end-to-end system performs at a high level. You are the definitive, hands-on expert responsible for ensuring our system components function as designed and interact with the customer’s or third-party components according to the customer’s needs.

You will be based near the site of one of our strategic customers and collaborating with them to make the system work. At the same time, you’ll work together with our development engineers specializing in software, hardware, robotics, and integration.

• Execute the final integration and commissioning of complex automated industrial systems

• Field test software and hardware

• Serve as the multidisciplinary troubleshooter, capable of diagnosing faults,  And developing and testing solutions to issues encountered

• Train, and transfer system knowledge to customer operational and maintenance teams.

• Translate complex field problems or other relevant data into clear reports for Development and Product Management,

Your contribution

In this job, you will:

• Execute all stages of commissioning, on-site acceptance testing, and system handover to the client.

• Perform root cause analysis for all end-to-end system failures, whether they originate from kinematics errors, sensor/vision malfunctions, connectivity issues, or program logic.

• Work on robot programming adjustments (path optimization, I/O setup) and deploy control system updates.

• Collaborate closely with internal Development (Hardware and Software) engineers to provide actionable feedback for improving product serviceability.

• Develop and maintain a high level of operational readiness by being quick to pick up basic principles and new technologies introduced into our systems.
