About The Position

FALCATA is seeking a Field Service Engineer for its Product Solutions division. The role is based in Huntsville, Alabama; Aurora, Colorado; Arlington, Virginia; or Bedminster, New Jersey. The engineer supports integration, testing, validation, and field deployment of FALCATA subsystems—including seekers, proximity sensors, and related technologies—onto larger customer and partner platforms. The position combines systems engineering knowledge with practical testing and troubleshooting across mechanical, electrical, software, and firmware interfaces. The engineer collaborates with customers, external partners, and internal product engineering teams to resolve integration issues in field or laboratory testing, evaluate system performance, capture product feedback, and improve product capabilities. Travel of up to 40%, potentially for extended durations, is required to customer, partner, government, laboratory, and test locations. FALCATA’s Product Solutions division provides products and services in radar, communication systems, sensors, antennas, and other electronics systems for the rocket/missile, radar/sensor system, communications, control systems, data acquisition, and signal processing markets. The company develops products from board-level, application-specific designs to complete turnkey radar and communication systems, and has a state-of-the-art hardware capability serving government and industry customers.

Responsibilities

Learn and apply FALCATA product hardware and software operations, including theory of operation, product usage, and troubleshooting methods.
Support integration and testing of FALCATA subsystems, such as seekers and proximity sensors, on larger customer or partner platforms during field testing, demonstrations, validation events, and acceptance activities.
Provide hands-on technical support across mechanical, electrical, software, and firmware interfaces to facilitate successful subsystem integration.
Troubleshoot, diagnose, and resolve integration issues in real time in coordination with internal engineering teams, customers, and external partners.
Develop, execute, and refine integration test plans, procedures, performance evaluations, and supporting documentation.
Evaluate customer and test data during integration events using FALCATA product evaluation tools to assess and demonstrate product performance.
Write detailed reports on product behavior, test observations, anomalies, system configurations, and reproduction steps to support factory troubleshooting and root-cause analysis.
Communicate customer needs, operational feedback, product usage observations, technical issues, and capability gaps to product engineering teams.
Complete integration, testing, validation, and acceptance activities on schedule and in accordance with program requirements and customer expectations.
Communicate integration status, technical issues, risks, and recommended actions to internal stakeholders, program management, and leadership.
Collaborate with engineering, product, and program management teams to capture lessons learned and improve integration processes, test methods, tools, and documentation.
Travel up to 40%, potentially for extended durations, to support customer, partner, laboratory, government, and field test events.
