Aevexaerospace The Junior Field Engineer supports readiness, integration, and technical performance of GARC systems in fleet environments, including overseas deployments. This role involves troubleshooting, configuration validation, technical documentation, and field operations in austere and maritime conditions.

Responsibilities

While not typically customer-facing, you may occasionally work directly with fleet stakeholders, operators, or supporting organizations during deployments, testing events, or training evolutions.
Essential Functions
Field Engineering Support: Provide engineering support for GARC systems to sustain fleet readiness, availability, and mission performance.
Integration & Testing: Support system integration, validation, and technical evaluations during harbor, shoreline, and on-water operations.
Troubleshooting & Diagnostics: Assist in identifying system anomalies, isolating root causes, and supporting corrective actions under engineering supervision.
Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs): Implement and verify approved ECPs, upgrades, and configuration changes while maintaining configuration control.
Operational Deployment: Deploy globally (up to 75%) to support fleet operations, exercises, technical assistance engagements, and fielding events.
Documentation & Reporting: Document technical observations, system behavior, and test results, coordinating findings with engineering, logistics, and operations teams.
Launch & Recovery Support: Assist with on-water launch, recovery, and mission-execution operations in dynamic maritime conditions.
Configuration & Asset Tracking: Maintain accurate records of system configurations, updates, components, and field modifications.
Perform other duties as required.
