About The Job

As part of the Counter Intrusion product operations team, your mission is to do whatever it takes to maintain the health of our deployed Counter Intrusion technology. You will be responsible for identifying, triaging, escalating, and managing resolution of all incidents across our deployed fleet of systems. You should have an aptitude for debugging and an appetite for real‑time response, rapid resolution, and root‑causing complex issues on electromechanical systems.

• Proven ability to master a technical system and support it in operational environments. Must demonstrate an innate drive to take ownership and be self‑sufficient across the depth and breadth of the technical system.

• Confident with navigating ambiguity and crafting new ways of doing things.
• Excellent written, visual, and verbal communication skills.
• Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. security clearance; holding clearances in the past a plus.

Preferred Qualifications
