Draft clear scopes of work, timelines, and success metrics for proofs-of-concept through production roll-outs.
Code side-by-side with customer engineers, deploying on their cloud or on-prem environments to ensure successful adoption.
Partner closely with Sales and Customer Success on the same accounts to guarantee seamless experiences and measurable outcomes.
Relay frontline insights to Research, Product, and Engineering; your learnings shape our roadmap.
Document best practices, contribute to internal libraries, and mentor future FDEs so the function scales efficiently.

Requirements

5+ years of professional experience with modern full-stack technologies (TypeScript/Node.js, React, Python)
3+ years of professional experience in Robotics or Autonomous systems
Experience in customer-facing engineering roles, ideally with robotics or autonomy exposure.
Proven history of rapid prototyping and iterative delivery with external stakeholders.
Solid grasp of network and cloud architecture (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and database-backed REST APIs.
Comfortable building across the stack — from data pipelines and APIs to the interfaces engineers use every day
Comfortable owning problems end-to-end, learning what’s missing, and communicating technical details to any audience.
Willingness to travel extensively and work on-site with customers when required.
