Overview

We're looking for a pRFID/Hardware Network Engineer who is ready to roll up their sleeves and solve problems with our clients. This role is part deployment lead, part systems engineer, and part problem-solver. You'll travel to customer sites, assess operational needs, help define RFID system configurations, and run demos and pilot events for LMI clients. U.S. citizenship is required for this position. You must be eligible for a Secret clearance. Active Secret or Top Secret clearance preferred.

You'll be the technical point of contact on the ground - setting up readers, testing tag placement, troubleshooting signal issues, and feeding insights back to the product and platform teams.

LMI is a consultancy dedicated to powering a future-ready, high-performing government, drawing from expertise in digital and analytic solutions, logistics, and management advisory services. We deliver integrated capabilities that incorporate emerging technologies and are tailored to customers' unique mission needs, backed by objective research and data analysis. Founded in 1961 to help the Department of Defense resolve complex logistics management challenges, LMI continues to enable growth and transformation, enhance operational readiness and resiliency, and ensure mission success for federal civilian and defense agencies.

Who We Are

We build and deploy RFID solutions that help the Department of Defense track assets, streamline logistics, and operate at mission speed. Whether it's a warehouse, motor pool, or flight line - our tech brings real-time visibility to real-world operations. We're a no-bench, get-after-it kind of company where initiative is rewarded, and innovation is our default setting. If you're ready to dive in, take ownership, and ship real value, keep reading.

Responsibilities

What You'll Do

Travel to client sites to assess, configure, and validate RFID solutions.
• Recommend hardware (e.g., fixed readers, handhelds, antennas) and system configurations based on facility layout and operational workflows.
• Set up and participate in pilot events, demos, and field tests alongside clients and stakeholders.
• Use tools to test RF signal strength, tag readability, and system performance in real-world conditions.
• Troubleshoot hardware, connectivity, interference, and network issues on site.
• Document deployment plans, hardware configs, and lessons learned to scale repeatable solutions.
• Collaborate closely with our engineering, product, and mission delivery teams to turn field feedback into system improvements.

Qualifications

• 3-5+ years of experience deploying or supporting RFID solutions in operational environments.
• Solid understanding of RF, IoT, or sensor-based systems.
• Comfortable configuring readers, antennas, and tags in the field.
• Familiarity with Zebra, Impinj, or similar enterprise RFID systems.
• Experience reading signal diagnostics and optimizing tag/read locations.
• Strong communication skills and professionalism with military and government clients.
• Willingness to travel ~25-35%, often to government facilities.
