About the role
Our Field Deployment Engineers are responsible for the physical foundation of autonomy.
This role is rooted in automechanical systems expertise - wiring, harnessing, power, mounts, and safety-critical integration on heavy equipment. If the machine isn’t installed correctly, nothing else matters. You ensure AIM systems are installed safely, robustly, and repeatably on real machines in real environments - setting the baseline for everything that follows.
About you
You are hands-on, methodical, and comfortable working where heavy equipment, wiring, and real-world constraints collide. You thrive in physical systems and take pride in doing the hard work correctly the first time.
You are equally comfortable:
•
routing and terminating wiring harnesses on large machines
•
installing compute, sensors, power systems, and mounts in harsh environments
•
validating safety circuits, E-Stops, and lockout/tagout procedures
•
diagnosing install-time issues caused by vibration, heat, dust, or strain
•
working outdoors, on-site, in tough conditions
You care deeply about safety, robustness, and serviceability - because in the field, install quality determines reliability.
About us together
Together, we will:
•
install autonomy systems on heavy equipment safely and repeatably
•
turn complex installs into standardized, scalable procedures
•
harden hardware integration against real-world abuse
•
enable dealers and partners to perform installs independently
•
build the physical backbone that allows autonomy to scale globally
We’ll work in mud, heat, dust, and noise. We’ll iterate on hardware designs and procedures until installs are boring - because boring installs are safe installs.
Responsibilities
Machine Installation & Hardware Integration
•
Lead physical installation of AIM hardware on heavy equipment (compute, sensors, wiring, power).
•
Execute mechanical and electrical integration following standardized install procedures.
•
Perform initial power-on, safety validation, and hardware acceptance checks.
Safety & Robustness
•
Validate E-Stops, lockout/tagout, and safety-critical wiring.
•
Identify install-related failure modes (vibration, dust, heat, strain relief).
•
Propose improvements to mounts, harnessing, enclosures, and service access.
Documentation & Dealer Enablement
•
Create and maintain install guides, wiring diagrams, and checklists.
•
Define install acceptance criteria and handoff standards.
•
Train and enable dealers to perform installs safely and independently.
Customer Relationship & Trust Building
•
Act as the bridge between customers and AIM engineering - clear, honest, technically grounded communication.
•
Manage expectations around downtime, features, maintenance windows, and machine readiness.
•
Build trust through competence, transparency, and ownership.
Travel
•
Deep immersion on customer sites worldwide
•
~40–70% travel depending on deployment cycles.
Qualifications
Basic qualifications
•
5+ years experience in auto mechanics, heavy equipment installation, field service, or similar.
•
Hands-on experience with wiring, harnessing, sensors, power systems, and safety circuits.
•
Comfort working on large machines in demanding field environments.
•
Strong safety mindset and attention to detail.
•
Ability to work autonomously under ambiguous, high-pressure conditions.
•
Willingness to travel internationally and domestically, often on short notice.
Preferred Qualifications
•
Experience deploying robotics, autonomous systems, heavy equipment, or industrial automation.
•
Experience with safety-critical systems, emergency stops, lockout/tagout, or functional safety frameworks.
•
Familiarity with hydraulics, GNSS systems, perception stacks, or motion control systems.
•
Experience developing service manuals, install guides, or field engineering playbooks.
•
OEM or dealer network experience (e.g., Komatsu, Caterpillar, Volvo).
How you’ll stand out
•
You can turn ambiguous field failures into structured, repeatable engineering test cases.
•
You operate calmly under pressure and lead customers through complex issues.
•
You write clean documentation, and clean bug reports.
•
You thrive in the dirt, in the logs, and in the details.
•
You bridge the gap between engineering vision and field reality.
Why AIM?
Joining AIM, You Will
•
Solve a massive set of real-world problems that require scalable earth moving
•
Accomplish that via deploying and expanding cutting edge tech
•
Run your workstreams with the largest degree of autonomy
•
Have an opportunity for rapid growth and a large voice on the direction of the company
•
Receive company funded medical, dental, vision, 401k, life insurance, gourmet food & perks
•
Experience a strong onsite collaboration (AIM offices, labs and proving grounds on the east side of the Greater Seattle area)
•
Have an opportunity to travel to unique sites around the world (Americas, Australia, Africa & more)
