Field Engineer

Role Overview We are looking for a hands‑on Field Engineer to own the technical success of our data collection hardware in the wild. You will be responsible for testing wearable devices, ensuring hardware / software reliability in diverse environments, and driving the iterative design of our Standard Operating Procedures. You will be the link between our technical team and our field operations – running lab & field testing, capturing feedback, identifying issues, analysing the root cause and ultimately helping design a more resilient system. Key Responsibilities Hardware & Software Field Testing Stress Testing – Put multiple wearable devices through their paces in different conditions (speed, temperature, humidity, dust, lighting, etc). On‑Site Debugging – Troubleshoot data capture, connectivity, ergonomics, battery life, and software crashes in real‑time to minimise downtime. Feedback & Product Iteration UX / Ergonomics Feedback – Collect detailed feedback from human demonstrators regarding wearable weight, comfort, interference, and heat dissipation during long shifts. Technical Reporting – Create structured testing reports to help teams prioritise key fixes and feature requests. Feature Validation – Act as the first user for new software features or hardware modifications before they are rolled out to the broader operator fleet. SOP Design & Optimisation Process Engineering – Work with the operational team to design the most efficient way to charge, sync, and deploy multiple wearables simultaneously. Data Quality Control – Monitor and analyse incoming data streams for quality issues and share feedback & insights with the technical team to help resolve these. Training – Build technical training manuals and train non‑technical operators on how to handle and maintain the hardware. Requirements Technical Background – Degree in Mechanical, Electronics, Mechatronics, or Software Engineering (or equivalent hands‑on experience). Hardware Literacy – Comfortable working with hardware devices; ideally experience with embedded systems (Linux/Android), cameras, or IMU sensors. Field Grit – Enjoy being out of the office; comfortable working in factories, farms, or busy urban centres where conditions aren't perfect. Analytical Mindset – Can analyse a failing data pipeline and systematically isolate whether the issue is hardware, software, or human error. Communication – Excellent English communication skills (written and verbal) to document technical issues for a global engineering team. Experience – 2+ years in field engineering, hardware testing, or robotics operations; experience with wearable tech & vision systems a major plus. Offer Details Commitment Required – 20 hours per week minimum. Field Ops Role – Regular travel required. #J-18808-Ljbffr Avance Consulting
