About the position

As a Solutions Engineer at Auterion Government Solutions, you will work across our full technology stack selling it, implementing it in new systems, and further developing it for our government customers. You will work directly with our engineering, program management, and sales teams, as well as directly with our government customers. One day you will be doing a Skynode integration on a new robotic system, another day you will be using your understanding of government customer requirements to develop and test a new feature alongside the core engineering teams, and yet another day you will be the face of the company as you lead a technical demo of our products. In your engineering role you will also focus on driving a coherent system architecture across the government and enterprise sides of the business.

• Assist with customer demos when they are technically complex or involve new technologies.
• Work closely with sales, engineering, and program management to structure and execute engineering work on robotics related projects and support with government customer communication when needed.
