Field Engineer

We’re building the UK's next generation engineering powerhouse, providing critical technology that strengthens national security and resilience. 

We specialise in turning advances in sensing, AI, and communications into operational capability for the edge, where connectivity may be degraded or denied. Our work focuses on accelerating the deployment of technology, improving decision-making for frontline teams, and protecting people and critical assets in demanding environments.
 
Headquartered in Bristol, Rowden employs around 200 people and operates over 20,000 square feet of engineering and manufacturing facilities. We have a growing international footprint and are one of Europe’s fastest-growing engineering businesses.
 
About the opportunity 

As a Field Engineer, you’ll play a crucial role in this mission. You’ll work directly with system users, configuring systems for deployment, providing training, testing new features, troubleshooting, and feeding back insights to our engineering teams. In short, you’ll help us build systems people actually want to use.  
 

Your responsibilities will include configuring, deploying, and supporting systems across C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) and Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) capabilities. You’ll work closely with Systems Engineers, Software Engineers, Infrastructure Engineers, Integration Engineers and Product Owners to test and deploy novel systems on both UK and overseas exercises.
 
This is a customer-facing role, so you will be representing the values and standards of Rowden. The role will involve domestic travel and occasional international deployments for periods of 4-6 weeks, up to twice a year. To recognise the impact of this travel, additional compensation will be provided.
 
Candidates must be eligible for SC clearance.
