Job description

Help us take autonomous vehicles from engineering development to real-world operation.

At Kybera, we're building the software infrastructure that enables autonomous vehicles to operate safely and reliably in complex industrial environments, starting with ports and logistics.

We're looking for a Field Engineer to join our team in Belfast, working hands-on with autonomous vehicles and acting as an important link between our customers and Kybera's engineering teams.

This is a practical, customer-facing engineering role for someone who enjoys complex systems, solving problems in the field and seeing technology operate in the real world.

What you'll be doing

• Support the testing, integration, validation and commissioning of autonomous vehicles.
• Work with customer and port stakeholders during on-site testing and deployment.
• Prepare vehicles, sensors, computing equipment and test environments for engineering trials.
• Diagnose mechanical, electrical, software and system-level issues and communicate findings back to our engineering teams.
• Support the installation, configuration and calibration of vehicle systems and sensors.
• Run structured test programmes and produce clear test results and technical documentation.
• Act as a trusted technical point of contact for customers on site.
• Maintain high standards of operational safety throughout testing and deployment.
• Feed learning from the field back into our engineering and product teams to help improve our technology and future deployments.

We'd love to hear from you if you have...

• A STEM degree, or equivalent practical engineering experience.
• 2+ years' experience in industrial engineering, automotive, robotics, automation or a similar technical environment.
• Experience testing, commissioning or deploying technology on customer sites.
• Strong practical problem-solving and fault-finding skills.
• A good understanding of how mechanical, electrical and software systems interact.
• A hands-on, self-driven approach and confidence working independently.
• Strong communication skills and a customer-focused mindset.
• A willingness to travel as our deployments expand.

Experience with autonomous vehicles, robotics, ADAS, systems integration, industrial vehicles, port automation, CAN bus, PLCs, Linux or electrical fault finding would be a bonus.

Don't worry if you don't tick every box.

We're interested in people with strong engineering fundamentals, curiosity and the right hands-on mindset, even if your experience comes from a different industry.

Why Kybera?

You’ll work directly with autonomous vehicles in real industrial environments and alongside engineers spanning robotics, software, mechanical, electrical and systems engineering.

We're a small, fast-moving team, so you'll have genuine ownership from day one and a direct influence on how we test, deploy and improve our technology.

The role will initially be based primarily in Belfast, with opportunities to support UK and international deployments as Kybera grows.

If you want to work close to the technology, solve problems where they actually happen and help bring industrial autonomy into everyday operation, we'd love to hear from you.
