TurbineOne is seeking a Field Engineering Manager to lead the Field Engineering function and shape how the company deploys, scales, and supports its Frontline Perception System (FPS) in diverse operational environments. This is a player-coach leadership role where you will manage a talented team of Field Engineers while remaining technically engaged in integration architecture, tooling development, and on-site deployment execution.
You will report directly to the Senior Director, Engineering Operations and work closely with Engineering, Product, Security, and Mission Operations teams. Unlike traditional SaaS organizations, TurbineOne delivers mission-critical AI software into customer-owned environments ranging from enterprise cloud infrastructure to tactical edge systems supporting U.S. national security missions.
Key responsibilities include: managing and mentoring a high-performing team of Field Engineers; defining and standardizing deployment workflows and integration playbooks; providing technical leadership on field integration strategy and tooling (Python, Go, Bash); overseeing provisioning and configuration of FPS deployments within customer-owned tactical edge systems; ensuring secure software delivery into communications-contested environments; partnering across Engineering, Product, Security, and Mission Operations; and driving mission readiness through personnel training, certifications, and operational readiness tracking.
You will develop standard operating procedures, establish metrics and dashboards for deployment readiness and operational performance, and conduct post-deployment reviews to capture lessons learned. The role requires balancing engineering velocity with operational reliability, cybersecurity, and government compliance. Periodic travel to customer sites, TurbineOne facilities, demonstrations, and operational events is required.
