Reveal Technology is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer to work directly with military, security, and commercial end users solving complex operational challenges through innovative hardware and software solutions. You will rapidly prototype, integrate, and deploy emerging technologies while bridging the gap between frontline user needs and Reveal's engineering teams.
Key responsibilities include:
- Deploy and embed with commercial, military, and security end users to identify operational challenges and deliver tailored hardware/software solutions
- Rapidly prototype low Technology Readiness Level (TRL) platforms that can mature into Reveal product offerings
- Act as a frontline engineer and technologist, bringing back validated user feedback and performance data to inform internal roadmaps
- Collaborate with Reveal engineering teams remotely to transition fielded prototypes into scalable, productized capabilities
- Serve as a field-facing authority on Reveal's technologies, including Farsight, and bridge user needs with technical development
- Lead field integration of Reveal products with adjacent systems (e.g., ATAK, Lattice, Palantir), and articulate combined operational value
- Manage technical deployments in austere and high-pressure environments, including edge compute, networking, and Unmanned Aerial Systems setup and sustainment
- Provide technical mentorship and leadership in multi-disciplinary project teams spanning government and commercial partners
Reveal, founded in 2019, is a dynamic startup revolutionizing field operations by delivering software tools and intelligence to operators in remote, disconnected, and extreme environments. The company serves defense, security, and public safety missions where time is compressed, information is contested, and precision matters. Flagship products include Farsight (3D processing and mission planning) and Identifi (secure identity verification), with recent 2026 expansions including Chronos and Anomaly 6.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 5+ years' experience in defense or dual-use innovation, ideally in forward-deployed or special operations contexts
- Demonstrated experience leading R&D projects that fuse autonomy, data engineering, cloud computing, and operational hardware
- Exceptional self-starter with deep familiarity in Python, Go, C++, and systems-level programming for edge hardware
- Experience designing, consuming, and integrating with RESTful and gRPC APIs, with ability to interface Reveal products into third-party platforms such as ATAK, Lattice, and Palantir through custom adapters and plugins
- Operational understanding of the defense mission space, including employment of systems like ATAK, Palantir, Lattice, and Reveal Farsight
- Proven experience delivering secure, tactical software/hardware systems in sensitive or constrained environments
- Strong communicator able to advocate for user needs, translate technical concepts, and build consensus across stakeholders
- Comfortable navigating sensitive environments with limited oversight; UK DV or US TS/SCI clearance (or equivalent) preferred
- Familiarity with UAS systems, ML ops, cloud/edge hybrid compute, and high-trust technology deployment practices
- Willingness to travel up to 20% globally, including to field and conflict-adjacent locations
