Field Engineer (m/f/d)

Field Engineer – Marine Robotics Systems Role Overview

This role is centered on system validation, structured reporting, and technical feedback rather than direct piloting or operation of the vehicles.

Role Purpose

To support the transition of marine robotic platforms from development into reliable, operational products through disciplined field testing, verification, and documentation.

• Plan and execute field validation activities in line with project schedules and product maturity requirements.
• Perform structured performance checks and system readiness assessments prior to deployment.
• Ensure safe and compliant mobilization and demobilization procedures.
• Conduct risk assessments and support mitigation planning for assigned operations.
• Validate both internally developed and commercial systems against defined acceptance criteria.
• Coordinate with engineering and cross‑functional teams to ensure consistent execution of validation tasks.
• Work closely with project management and HSE teams to maintain compliance with safety standards.
• Diagnose system‑level issues and contribute to root‑cause investigations.
• Maintain comprehensive documentation, including validation logs, test reports, checklists, and review records.
• Provide clear, structured feedback to development teams to enhance system robustness.
• Support the improvement of validation procedures, workflows, and standard operating processes.
