Field Service Representative (FSR) Industry: Defense robotics / autonomous ground systems Company:  Venture-backed defense robotics company building autonomous ground vehicle platforms for U.S. and allied customers. East Coast HQ (Clarksburg, Maryland), with additional test ranges in the Mountain West (Idaho) and Appalachia. Location:  Clarksburg, Maryland HQ strongly preferred. Idaho and Appalachian test sites also workable. Remote considered for the right person, with the understanding that ramp will pull you to HQ and the hardware frequently. Compensation:  $90,000–$120,000 base, plus equity for every employee. Year-end bonuses are typically paid in equity rather than cash. Additional hazard pay applies for deployments to high-risk zones. Travel:  ~75% today, with the goal of reducing it as the team scales. About the Client A venture-backed robotics company building autonomous ground vehicle systems for defense customers. What we sell is a fully integrated system — autonomy software, operator-control software, comms and networking, and mission payloads, riding on hardware we design and build. Programs are moving out of the lab and into operator hands fast, and our customers are unusually willing to adopt new capability the moment it ships. That's exactly where this role lives. About the Role Field Service Representatives are the hands that keep our systems running in the field. You deploy with integrated robotic ground systems, keep them mission-ready, train the operators who use them, and are the steady, trusted presence customers rely on when they're out on the range or forward deployed. You know how to turn a wrench and read a screen — vehicle repair and maintenance is a real part of the day, and so is working through a networking or comms hiccup, logging into a system to pull logs, and walking an operator through a new capability. This is a maintainer-first field role. You are not expected to be a software or embedded engineer — that's our Forward Deployed Engineer seat. You are expected to be genuinely technical, mechanically strong, coachable on our systems, and the kind of person units in the field want around. Responsibilities Deploy with integrated robotic ground systems to customer test sites, training centers, and forward operating locations. Perform hands-on vehicle repair, maintenance, and system upgrades in the field — often in conditions the manuals don't cover, because the manuals may not exist yet. Troubleshoot the practical stuff: swap components, trace a cable, work through networking and comms issues, log into a system and pull logs, and get the customer back up and running. Train and support customer operators on the system and on new capabilities as they ship. Feed clean information back to the engineering team — what broke, what you saw, what the customer needs — so problems get fixed once, not over and over. Build trust with the units you support. Half of this job is being the person customers want on site when conditions are bad and the mission still has to happen. Where You'll Go Stateside training and test sites: Fort Drum, Fort Bragg, Fort Polk, NTC / Fort Irwin, 29 Palms, Camp Lejeune, White Sands, Aberdeen, Grayling (MI), among others. Forward deployed: active overseas program supporting an allied partner in Eastern Europe with system upgrades, repairs, and field maintenance. This is currently the highest-priority deployment need. Personnel operate behind the front, not on it. Where You'll Be Based Clarksburg, Maryland is the engineering and hardware center of gravity and the strong preference — it's where the vehicles are built and where ramp happens fastest. Idaho (test range) and the Appalachian test site are also workable. Remote is possible for the right person, with the understanding that home time gets eaten by HQ visits during ramp.
