Forward Deployed Engineer

What We Do Gecko Robotics is helping the world’s most important organizations ensure the availability, reliability, and sustainability of critical infrastructure. Gecko's complete and connected solutions combine wall‑climbing robots, industry‑leading sensors, and an AI‑powered data platform to provide customers with a unique window into the current and future health of their physical assets. This enables real‑time decision‑making to increase the efficiency and safety of operations, promote mission readiness, and protect the environment and civilization from the effects of infrastructure failure. Role at a Glance Our Forward Deployed Engineers are not support engineers; they’re builders. They build our business within the context of a single customer at a time, seeking out valuable problems that hold our customers back. The problems we work on are multi‑domain, affecting cash flow, production, safety, and the environment. A Forward Deployed Engineer does not stop at finding problems but goes on to create solutions, prove their value, and own the process from start to finish. By solving a specific version of the problem for a specific customer, they also help to navigate Gecko’s platform—tools that scale across customers.
