TL;DR · Fielded Site Reliability Engineer

The Fielded Site Reliability Engineer joins the Imaging team to ensure the health and uptime of deployed camera and sensor systems. This role serves as the frontline for keeping fielded systems alive, requiring the candidate to triage, diagnose, and resolve issues across networking, calibration, and hardware boundaries. Day-to-day responsibilities include running point on support escalations, building runbooks to turn recurring fires into durable fixes, and providing signals for better observability. The position requires strong Linux fundamentals, networking troubleshooting skills, and experience with production support for deployed hardware. Preferred skills include Python, Bash, Nix, NixOS, and systemd service management. This role solves the technical challenge of maintaining reliable, real-time imaging systems in constrained field environments, ensuring mission success through systematic root cause analysis and proactive documentation.

What you'll do

  • Own the health and uptime of deployed imaging systems by triaging and resolving hardware, network, and calibration issues.
  • Act as the primary technical backstop for customer support escalations to resolve complex fielded system problems.
  • Create and maintain runbooks, diagnostics, and self-service tools to prevent recurring technical issues.
  • Reproduce and document software defects to hand off clean tickets to the Mission Software Engineering team.
  • Provide feedback to product teams to improve system observability, upgrade safety, and graceful failure modes.
  • Conduct remote troubleshooting sessions with non-technical field operators to resolve sensor and connectivity problems.
  • Travel up to 20% of the time to provide on-site field support and assist with deployment windows.

What we're looking for

  • 3+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, field/systems engineering, or production support of deployed hardware/software systems.
  • Strong Linux fundamentals including troubleshooting networking issues like IP, routing, and VPNs in constrained environments.
  • Demonstrated ability to diagnose and resolve issues across system boundaries including networking, services, and hardware interaction.
  • Ability to own a structured on-call rotation including scheduled after-hours and weekend coverage.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills to run remote troubleshooting sessions and document technical issues.
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance.
  • Experience supporting fielded or deployed systems rather than just development environments (preferred).
  • Experience with fielded hardware or sensor systems, including sensor calibration (preferred).
