To thrive as a Developer at a startup, you need strong coding abilities, familiarity with agile development methodologies, and a solid understanding of software engineering principles, often evidenced by a degree in computer science or related field. Experience with modern programming languages, cloud platforms, version control systems like Git, and sometimes full-stack or DevOps tools is highly valued.

Developers at startups often handle a wider range of responsibilities, from designing system architecture to fixing urgent bugs, due to smaller team sizes and limited resources. The work environment tends to be fast-paced and dynamic, with priorities and product goals that can rapidly change in response to user feedback or market needs. This means developers must be adaptable, self-driven, and comfortable with ambiguity, frequently multitasking and picking up new technologies as needed. However, this also creates significant opportunities for professional growth, hands-on experience with various technologies, and a direct impact on the product and company’s success.

What is a Developer Startup job?

A Developer Startup job typically involves building and scaling software products for early-stage companies. Developers in startups often work across multiple areas, including frontend, backend, and infrastructure, due to smaller team sizes. They need to adapt quickly, solve complex problems, and collaborate closely with founders and other team members. The role may also involve rapid prototyping, optimizing code for scalability, and integrating new technologies as the business evolves. It's a dynamic position that requires flexibility, creativity, and a strong problem-solving mindset.

Job description

Description:

The Field Engineer is a highly technical, field-based role responsible for supporting the installation, commissioning, startup, testing, and operational performance of industrial standby and prime power generation systems.


This role plays a critical part in ensuring generator systems, paralleling switchgear, automatic transfer switches (ATS), and control systems are installed, commissioned, and operating safely, reliably, and in accordance with design specifications.

Generator Commissioning & Startup:

  • Develop and execute pre-functional and functional startup checklists.
  • Lead commissioning of:
  • Diesel and natural gas generator systems
  • Paralleling switchgear
  • Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS)
  • Load banks and associated controls
  • Document commissioning results and provide turnover packages.

Troubleshooting & Technical Support:

  • Diagnose and resolve complex electrical, mechanical, and control-related issues during startup and post-installation.
  • Support Field Service Technicians with advanced troubleshooting.
  • Analyze generator performance data to identify reliability concerns.
  • Assist in root cause analysis of system failures.

Controls & Integration:

  • Support configuration and testing of:
  • Generator controllers
  • Paralleling logic and synchronization systems
  • Remote monitoring systems
  • Ensure proper integration of generators into facility electrical infrastructure.

Customer Interface & Training:

  • Serve as the technical lead during startup and commissioning.
  • Provide customer training on system operation, emergency procedures, and maintenance requirements.
  • Deliver clear commissioning documentation and test reports.
  • Ensure smooth transition from installation to service support.

Qualifications:

  • Equivalent field experience considered.
  • Experience in industrial generator systems, power distribution, or mission-critical backup power environments.
  • Strong knowledge of:
  • Diesel and natural gas generator systems
  • Paralleling switchgear
  • ATS systems
  • Load bank testing
  • Engine controls and protection systems
  • Working knowledge of NEC, NFPA 110, OSHA standards.
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot complex power systems in live environments.
  • Strong communication and leadership skills in field settings.
  • Valid driver’s license required.

Minimum of seven (7) or more years of experience in industrial generator service, commissioning, troubleshooting, repair, and overhaul.

Required experience includes:

· Diesel and natural gas generator systems

· Paralleling switchgear and synchronization

· Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS)

· Load bank testing and performance validation

· Engine and generator control systems

Experience performing system startups, commissioning activities, and advanced troubleshooting in mission-critical environments (e.g., hospitals, data centers, utilities, industrial facilities) strongly preferred.

Previous experience leading commissioning efforts, mentoring technicians, or serving as a technical escalation resource is a plus.


Travel & Working Conditions:

  • Significant travel within Kinsley’s service territory
  • Work performed in hospitals, data centers, industrial facilities, utilities, and construction environments.
  • Exposure to energized electrical systems, mechanical equipment, and outdoor conditions.
  • Ability to lift up to 100 lbs and work in physically demanding environments.
