Forward Deployed Engineer at well-funded industrial AI startup
We're building wearable AI that gives field technicians 'expert-level' powers through smart glasses and vision-language models. As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll take AI out of the lab and into the field, deploying real-time computer vision on edge hardware for multi-billion dollar infrastructure companies. If you're a hungry builder with 2+ years of FDE experience and a deep background in computer vision, this is your chance to join a well-funded startup already generating revenue and shipping products that solve massive industrial problems. Work directly with founders from NASA and MIT to shape the future of field services.
