About The Position

FALCATA is seeking a Field Service Engineer for its Product Solutions division, based in Huntsville, Alabama; Aurora, Colorado; Arlington, Virginia; or Bedminster, New Jersey. The role supports integration, testing, validation, and field deployment of FALCATA subsystems—including seekers, proximity sensors, and related technologies—onto larger customer and partner platforms. The engineer combines systems engineering knowledge with practical testing and troubleshooting across mechanical, electrical, software, and firmware interfaces. They collaborate with customers, external partners, and internal product engineering teams to resolve integration issues during field or lab testing, evaluate performance, capture product feedback, and inform future product capabilities. Travel of up to 40%, potentially for extended durations, may be 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 electronic systems for rocket/missile, radar/sensor system, communications, control systems, data acquisition, and signal processing markets. Its products range from board-level application-specific designs to complete turnkey radar and communication systems. FALCATA offers a stable work environment, competitive salary, and a comprehensive benefits package. Employment is contingent on successful completion of a background check, security investigation, and drug screening.
