Job description

The Problem

As Flock rapidly expands our Drone as a First Responder solutions, establishing robust, reliable physical infrastructure on the ground is essential to powering aerial operations. Scaling nationwide deployments requires technical specialists who can execute complex field installations, configure custom hardware, and troubleshoot network connectivity under real-world site conditions. You will own physical site assessments, install specialized drone docks and hardware, and ensure our DFR infrastructure is built to last.

What You'll Own

• Execute nationwide on-site installations, routine maintenance, and field support for DFR hardware, drone docks, and supporting infrastructure.
• Conduct comprehensive physical site assessments to verify electrical power availability, structural mounting locations, network connectivity, and site access constraints.
• Diagnose and resolve complex hardware, software, and local network connectivity issues encountered during field deployments.
• Complete detailed installation documentation, service records, site photographs, and technical field logs for cross-functional operations teams.
• Partner directly with public safety customers and internal deployment teams to guide site readiness and ensure safe, compliant installations.

What This Role is Not

• This isn't a drone pilot or flight operations role, your focus is strictly on physical infrastructure deployment, hardware installation, and field service rather than flying aircraft.
• This is not a desk-bound or local office job, you'll be traveling up to 100% across the country to support customer sites nationwide.
• This isn't a casual administrative position, you will work hands-on outdoors, on rooftops, and at elevated heights using ladders and lifts while moving heavy equipment.

What You Bring

• Technical experience in field service environments such as low-voltage installations, telecommunications, surveillance technology, or physical infrastructure deployment.
• Hands-on proficiency with basic networking, electrical systems, mechanical assembly, and troubleshooting across MacOS, Windows, or Android environments.
• Practical capability to work outdoors in variable weather conditions, navigate elevated heights, and safely lift or transport equipment weighing up to 75 lbs.
• Possession of a valid driver's license, acceptable identification for air travel, and the ability to manage nationwide travel logistics independently.
• An FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, or willingness to obtain certification within 45 days of hire.
• An associate or bachelor's degree, or experience in customer-facing technical support in public safety environments, is a plus.

Compensation

In this role, you'll receive a starting salary between $60,000 and $80,000 as well as Flock Stock Options. Base salary is determined by job-related experience, education/training, as well as market indicators.

Why Flock

Every community deserves to be safe. Flock builds the technology that makes that real: last year we supported over 1 million criminal investigations and helped locate more than 10,000 missing people. We're 1,700 people building the impossible with over $1B in funding, and the expectations are high on purpose. If you want a role where the stakes are real and the pace matches, this is it.

Some problems get solved faster in the same room, so we prioritize candidates in Atlanta and Boston. Hub-based roles mean real in-person time with your coworkers. Remote roles exist, and when a posting is open to remote work, it says so.
