As a Field Engineer, you will take engineering ownership of customer deployments from preparation through installation and validation, working with complex onboard systems including touchscreens, passenger counters, routers and other transit technology.

You will work closely with customers and multidisciplinary teams including Project Management, Procurement & Production, Field Services, Software Engineering and Product. With significant autonomy, you will be responsible for solving technical challenges and ensuring systems are successfully deployed and operational.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Taking engineering ownership of deployments and providing high-quality technical service throughout the project lifecycle.
• Defining project scope, preparing work packages and testing equipment before installations.
• Conducting onsite vehicle surveys and coordinating technical approvals and installation activities.
• Managing installation teams and third-party subcontractors during field deployments.
• Installing and supporting complex onboard hardware systems and ensuring components are correctly integrated and operational.
• Performing quality assurance and validating completed installations against project requirements.
• Coordinating with external vendors to troubleshoot components and identify engineering solutions.
• Completing post-installation documentation, reports and material returns, and contributing to improvements in standard operating procedures.
• Supporting continuous improvement by redesigning system components, optimizing wiring and collaborating on system integration activities.
• This is a highly field-oriented position. Our customers operate transit systems at more than 50 locations nationwide, so approximately 50% travel is required.

For this position, you will need:

• Understanding of low-voltage systems and hands-on experience using tools to test and troubleshoot basic electrical systems on transit vehicles.
• Experience owning end-to-end projects involving the deployment of technical systems.
• Experience coordinating installation teams, including third-party subcontractors.
• Ability to prepare, understand and explain project deliverables, including Statements/Scopes of Work.
• Strong technical communication skills and experience working directly with customers, internal teams and external vendors.
• Ability to perform basic IT activities such as network and router configuration; training will be provided.
• A background in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field is desirable but not mandatory.
• Experience with 2D CAD will also be valued.

WHAT DO WE OFFER?

• Base salary up to $95,000 per year, according to proven experience.
• Bonus program of approximately 12% of salary.
• Health and dental benefits.
• Paid parental leave.
• 401(k) plan with company match.
• Fully remote working model, with occasional in-person offsites once or twice per year.

You will join a team where autonomy comes with responsibility and where your engineering work has a visible impact on real transportation systems and the people who rely on them every day.

We promote equal opportunities in recruitment and are committed to inclusion and diversity.
