Field Engineer

Field Engineer

Role Overview:

As a Field Engineer & Installation Specialist, you are the boots-on-the-ground expert responsible for the physical deployment and mechanical integrity of our technology. This is a hardware-first role. You will bridge the gap between high-tech sensing equipment and the rugged reality of the processing plant and feedlot. You understand that in agriculture, “downtime” during harvest or processing peaks is not an option. You are responsible for ensuring our tools are mounted, calibrated, and maintained to survive harsh industrial environments. This role would suit someone with prior integration / installation of plant machines and equipment, or someone with a bachelors/ diploma in production, mechanical mechatronic engineering who is looking to gain real world experience integrating world leading technology into demanding environments

Key Responsibilities

Heavy Hardware Installation & Commissioning

• Lead the physical installation of probes, cameras, and sensing hardware into active processing lines and outdoor livestock environments, with strict time periods for installation.
• Perform mechanical mounting, run cabling (conduit, CAT6, low voltage power), and structural integration of our equipment into existing infrastructure.
• Ensure all physical cable runs and enclosures meet food safety and industrial compliance standards.
• Make judgment calls based on technical understand of our systems and plant infrastructure to modify installations to be suitable given site specific requirements

Industrial Maintenance & Rapid Response

• Own the “Red Meat Timeline”: Provide urgent hardware repairs during plant shifts to ensure production never halts.
• Perform deep-dive mechanical troubleshooting—replacing sensors, repairing physical housing, and managing electrical components (24VDC).
• Develop a deep understanding of how our products work and how the various subsystems interact

 Plant System Hardware Integration

• Collaborate with plant maintenance and engineering teams to integrate hardware with physical plant assets (Scales, PPLC enclosures, Hook tracking systems).
• Identify and communicate AC power requirements to facility electricians to ensure the site is ready for hardware deployment.

On-Site Operator Training

• Translate complex hardware procedures into “plain English” for plant maintenance teams and personnel
• Maintain a safe working environment at all times
• Train staff on the physical care, cleaning, and daily calibration of the equipment to ensure data longevity.

Key Skills & Technical Knowledge

• Hardware Specialist: High proficiency with hand/power tools, multi-meters, and industrial mounting hardware.
• Electrical Fundamentals: Hands-on experience running and terminating DC power. Ability to specify the AC power needs for our systems when working alongside plant electrical teams.
• Production Industry Mindset: You are comfortable working around livestock and in high-speed processing environments.
• Broad Spectrum Knowledge: You don’t just “fix a part”; you understand how the mechanical failure of a sensor impacts the entire data chain and the client’s bottom line.
• Technical: Able to read and understand technical documentation, PCB schematics, wiring diagrams, technical drawings, and installation documentation.

*Candidates must be eligible to work in the US as well as meet the qualifications listed above in order to be considered for the Field Engineer job.
