Hardware Deployment Manager

• Ensure all hardware is installed according to RAD standards, verifying correct placement, coverage, orientation, secure mounting, physical safety, power, cabling, network connectivity, and environmental suitability.
• Validate device labeling, IDs, and configuration details, and perform final quality checks before considering an installation complete.
• Confirm devices are powered on, network-connected, and correctly identified in RAD systems before handoff.
• Provide complete handoff documentation to the software team, including device IDs, locations, site photos, network details, and any known constraints or open items.
• Explicitly notify the software team when hardware is ready for configuration - a deployment isn’t “complete” until the software team confirms readiness.

Rapid Issue Resolution

• Treat every hardware issue as urgent once identified: create a ticket immediately, assign clear ownership, and track it actively to resolution.
• Coordinate quickly with technicians, vendors, and internal teams to resolve issues.
• Validate performance after resolution - not just “fixed on paper.”

Technician Network Management

• Build and maintain a trusted network of local technicians in each deployment region.
• Ensure technicians are trained on RAD standards, can execute installs correctly the first time, and respond quickly and professionally when issues arise.
• Actively manage technician performance - retraining when possible, replacing when necessary - and prioritize reliability and consistency over lowest cost.

Project Management Across Deployments

• Track all active and upcoming deployments, along with issue tracking, in a centralized system.
• Clearly define scope, timelines, dependencies, and owners for each project.
• Coordinate schedules across multiple clients, sites, and technicians, and proactively identify conflicts, risks, and capacity constraints.

Client Communication

• Set clear client expectations around installation and service timelines, site readiness requirements, and what will happen during install or service visits.
• Communicate proactively about delays, changes, or issues discovered on-site, along with next steps and resolution plans.
• Confirm completion and readiness with the client before closing out a deployment.

• Strong mechanical aptitude and hands-on experience with physical hardware deployment
• Experience coordinating field technicians or vendors, ideally across multiple regions
• Comfort with project management across multiple overlapping deployments
• A proactive communicator who follows up without being asked and keeps clients informed
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to stay on top of details under load
• Electrical engineering knowledge is a plus, but not required
