About The Position

Wavetronix, a global leader in radar-based vehicle detection technologies, is seeking a Field Systems/Networking Technician to support engineering development, testing, and validation of connected roadway systems. These systems include roadside and cabinet-based technologies such as radar sensors, cameras, communication devices, power supplies, and surge protection equipment. The role focuses on maintaining and supporting internal test sites and development infrastructure where these systems are installed, configured, and evaluated in real-world environments. As part of the engineering team, the primary focus is enabling product development through reliable field systems used to design, validate, and improve new products. The ideal candidate will possess strong technical troubleshooting skills, be comfortable working independently in both field and office environments, and be capable of managing physical systems, networking, and device configuration. This individual will collaborate closely with engineering and product teams across multiple projects to prioritize and execute field-related work, ensuring system reliability and effectiveness for development and testing. The role involves weekly travel within the region to clients and intersections, with onsite work required in the Springville office when not traveling. Successful candidates will demonstrate a strong, methodical troubleshooting mindset, comfort working alone and making decisions in the field, ability to transition between hands-on physical work and technical configuration, ownership of systems, clear communication with engineering teams, high standards of organization and documentation, and a willingness to learn new systems and technologies.
