Senior Field Engineer (m/f/d)

• The Senior Field Engineer leads field validation and product-maturity activities for marine robotic systems, including multi-vehicle operations across USVs, AUVs, ROVs, and supporting platforms.
• Operating within a development-to-deployment validation framework, this role ensures that both internally developed systems and commercial platforms are rigorously tested, verified, and validated in real operational environments before being approved for deployment.
• The focus is on structured validation, risk management, system readiness approval, and technical leadership rather than direct piloting of vehicles.

• Plan and coordinate complex field validation campaigns aligned with project timelines and product-maturity objectives.
• Lead offshore and nearshore validation of single-platform and multi-platform systems, maintaining Health, Safety, and Environmental compliance as the top priority.
• Approve system readiness for sea trials and operational validation activities.
• Conduct structured product-verification tasks, including performance benchmarking, stress testing, and failure-mode identification.
• Oversee safe and controlled mobilization and demobilization processes.
• Perform operational risk assessments and implement mitigation strategies for field activities.
• Serve as the technical escalation authority during validation campaigns and make mission-critical decisions, including mission abort when required.
• Coordinate with engineering, project management, and HSE teams to ensure reliable execution of validation objectives.
• Interface with manufacturers of commercial systems to ensure compliance with design intent and operational limitations.
• Produce structured technical reports, including root-cause analyses, lessons learned, and actionable feedback for development teams.
• Contribute to the development of validation frameworks, acceptance criteria, checklists, and product-readiness standards.

• Minimum 5 years of experience in marine robotics, unmanned systems, offshore platforms, or advanced marine operations.
• Experience managing complex or multi-platform validation campaigns.

• Strong system-level understanding of marine robotic and vessel-integrated systems.
• Proven experience in system validation, commissioning, and product verification.
• Deep knowledge of marine navigation, communication, control, and power systems.
• Strong troubleshooting capability across mechanical, electrical, networking, and software domains.
• Ability to define test methodologies, validation workflows, and acceptance criteria.
• Working knowledge of ROS or robotic system
