## Description

Invisible AI puts computer vision on the factory floor. Our cameras and AI models watch every cycle on an assembly line, so manufacturers can see standard work, microstops, downtime and ergonomic risk as it happens, and act on it. We work with global automotive OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers and other manufacturers across North America, Mexico and Europe.

Our Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) turn customer commitments into working production lines and measurable results with our platform.

The role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you own customer implementations from kickoff to measurable results. You scope sites, install and configure our system on the line, lead acceptance testing with customer engineering teams, train their users, and support each account as it grows.

This is a hands-on technical role for an engineer with experience on the manufacturing floor. You will split your time between customer plants and remote work, serving as the customer's primary technical contact and working closely with our Engineering and Product teams.

What you'll do

 * Scope the site. Assess customer production lines, document station requirements, and develop camera layouts and deployment plans.
 * Prepare for deployment. Work with customer IT, cybersecurity, controls and facilities teams on network access, infrastructure and hardware installation.
 * Deploy on the floor. Install and commission hardware, validate camera coverage, integrate PLC signals, and configure our applications for each customer's processes.
 * Validate the data. Confirm data quality and lead acceptance testing with customer engineering teams.
 * Train and transition. Train customer users and administrators, deliver documentation, and lead go-live readiness.
 * Represent the customer. Triage issues on site and partner with Engineering and Product on fixes and product feedback.
 * Own communication. Manage project plans and customer updates, using AI tooling to work efficiently, and lead regular customer meetings.
