Job Description:
As a Field Integration Specialist, you'll be part of the Field Integration and Test team. Your main duties are site surveys and field installation: checking deployment locations and installing systems in the field. You'll also handle technical readiness, troubleshooting, sustainment and integration support for deployed systems. You'll work alongside Field Integration Engineers, who lead integration efforts, and Air Vehicle Operators, who run missions. You carry out the technical work on each deployment and keep it going day to day. 

Your main goal is high fleet readiness and uptime for the current deployment. 

 

What you'll do:

Primary duties 

  • Site surveys: Assess deployment locations before installation. Check site conditions, infrastructure, power, communications, and physical and environmental limits. Record your findings to support integration planning. 

  • Field installation: Install, set up and configure systems at customer sites. Make sure each installation meets technical and operational requirements before handover. 

Additional responsibilities 

  • System configuration and validation: Configure and validate deployed systems, including new capabilities before they go into operational use. 

  • Field troubleshooting: Be the main troubleshooter in the field. Diagnose and fix hardware, software and subsystem issues quickly to keep operations moving. 

  • Maintenance and sustainment: Own parts readiness, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, and fleet sustainment. 

  • Field modifications: Carry out approved changes to fielded hardware and systems. 

  • Configuration management: Keep accurate configuration records for all deployed assets. 

  • Technical decisions: Make field-level technical decisions, with input from the Field Integration Engineer. 

  • Integration support: Support integration planning and help with execution tasks. Contribute to long-term fixes and root cause analysis by collecting field data and reporting findings. 

  • Customer support and training: Give customers technical support and hands-on training on system setup, operation and upkeep. 

  • Cross-team coordination: Work closely with engineering, operations, logistics and customer teams to fix issues and keep deployments ready.
