Defense primes and government customers use it to modernize legacy systems, squeeze maximum performance out of real hardware, and get prototypes into production fast.As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you’ll take validated solutions and turn them into capabilities that work in the field. You’ll embed with customer teams in high-stakes, mission-critical environments and get hands-on with GPUs, FPGAs and edge systems: integrating, optimizing, debugging and operating real workloads on real hardware.Why you’ll love itReal impact: your work ships into systems that matter, not a backlogTotal ownership: high autonomy, and you own the outcome end to endHard problems: cutting-edge algorithms meet specialized hardwareClose to the customer: you’re the trusted technical partner on the ground, not a ticket queueEarly and ambitious: join a small, elite team at a pivotal stage, with real influence on how the company growsRequirements: Exp. in Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or Applied Algo DevelopmentStrong programming ability in either Python or C++Hands-on exp. with one or more of the following: GPU programming, FPGA development, embedded systems, or edge compute environmentsTrack record optimizing and deploying software on specialized or constrained hardwareProven working directly with customers / external stakeholdersExp. delivering software or systems in defense, aerospace, or other mission-critical environmentsEligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearanceFor more info, apply or get in touch today!
