 * Prior role blending sales engineering or customer success with hands-on coding

## Description

The Forward Deployed Engineer sits at the intersection of engineering and client success - embedded directly with customers to implement, customize, and scale the product in their environment. This isn't a back-office engineering role: the FDE owns the outcome of deployment, from technical integration through adoption, and is often the primary technical voice the client interacts with post-sale.
What You'll Own:
Deployment & Integration

 * Lead technical onboarding and implementation for new clients, configuring the product to fit their workflows, data, and systems
 * Build custom integrations, scripts, or lightweight tools to bridge gaps between the core product and each client's existing stack
 * Translate ambiguous client requirements into a scoped technical plan and execute it independently

Client-Facing Technical Ownership

 * Serve as the primary technical point of contact for assigned accounts during and after rollout
 * Run technical discovery calls and debug issues live with client stakeholders
 * Communicate solutions in terms non-technical audiences can act on
 * Identify recurring friction points across clients and feed them back to product and engineering as structured input

Iteration & Scale

 * Monitor deployed solutions for reliability and performance, fixing or flagging issues before the client notices
 * Document deployment patterns and reusable components so future rollouts move faster
 * Balance delivery speed against long-term durability of deployed solutions, Seeking a motivated sales engineer/product manager with expertise in mobile hydraulic/valve applications to support a growing business unit! This Jobot Job is hosted by: Dan Ashe…
