Field Systems Engineer

About the Role

As a Field Systems Engineer (FSE), you will be the key person who will translate Svaya s robots and platform capabilities into tangible automation solutions in manufacturing and beyond. You will drive seamless integration and operationalize our robotics platform at key customers sites in coordination with Svaya s product and engineering teams. This is a multi-disciplinary role, and you will be adept working across hardware, perception, simulation, coding, testing and data. In this hybrid role, you will be the ultimate go-to person bridging the gap between customer deployments and Svaya development and engineering teams using your first-hand field experience and the vantage view of deployments, you will give constructive feedback to make our products and the platform reliable, robust and scalable. The ideal candidate will have background in robotics and have the willingness to learn and explore with a solutions mindset.

Your Work

• Gain deep understanding of customers tasks, workflows, process and systems to inform and evolve tangible automation solutions that will drive key customer value metrics

• Work closely with sales, product and engineering teams to translate and operationalize Svaya robots and platform capabilities into practical in-situ automation solutions

• Embed Svaya robotics platform at key customer sites with scalable reference implementations to enable wider adoption of our robots across customers environments

• Train and empower customer s internal teams to successfully execute automation projects around Svaya s products and platform with no external dependence

• Analyze and derive metrics from deployments and provide constructive feedback to product teams to guide future technical directions for product development
