Remote Field Engineer information

What is a remote field engineer?

A Remote Field Engineer is a technical professional who provides engineering support, troubleshooting, and maintenance for equipment or systems, often from a remote location rather than on-site. They use digital tools and communication technologies to diagnose issues, guide repairs, and ensure the smooth operation of machinery or infrastructure. Remote Field Engineers can work in various industries, such as telecommunications, energy, or IT, and may occasionally travel to client sites if necessary. Their role helps minimize downtime and supports clients or teams in locations where specialized technical expertise is needed but not always physically present.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote field engineer?

To thrive as a Remote Field Engineer, you need a solid background in engineering principles, troubleshooting, and system installation, often supported by a relevant engineering degree or certification. Familiarity with remote diagnostic tools, field service management software, and industry-specific equipment is typically required. Strong problem-solving skills, effective communication, and self-motivation are essential soft skills for working independently and supporting clients from a distance. These abilities are crucial for delivering timely technical solutions, maintaining customer satisfaction, and ensuring operational efficiency in remote environments.

How does a remote field engineer effectively coordinate with on-site teams and clients while working off-site?

As a Remote Field Engineer, clear communication is essential since you are not physically present on the job site. Most companies rely on video conferencing, project management tools, and real-time reporting platforms to keep remote engineers in the loop. You'll often schedule regular check-ins with on-site teams, review digital documentation, and provide technical guidance remotely. Building strong relationships with both on-site staff and clients helps ensure issues are addressed quickly and projects stay on track. Being proactive and responsive to messages or calls is key to maintaining trust and efficiency in this remote collaboration model.

Are you ready to launch your career with one of the world's most innovative companies? KEYENCE is looking for driven, adaptable engineers to join our Field Application Engineer Team. Whether you're a recent graduate or early in your career, this is your opportunity to grow with a global leader in automation and technology.

What You'll Do

As a Field Application Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of solving complex technical challenges and shaping the future of American manufacturing. This is a field-based position with most of your time on-site with customers and sales teams.

  • Solve complex customer challenges through creative configurations of our technical products
  • Install and program our products using hand tools or programming languages.
  • Provide on-call, on-site and remote technical support, training, and troubleshooting
  • Travel extensively (60-100%) across your assigned region-by car or plane-to deliver hands-on solutions
  • Conduct product testing and create detailed proposal reports to aid our sales team.
  • Work in dynamic environments-manufacturing floors, labs, and more-with occasional lifting (up to 60 lbs.) and off-hours support

Location Flexibility

Choose up to two preferred office locations when you apply-we'll do our best to place you where you want to be. You'll work within a regional territory, not nationwide.

What We Offer

  • Base Salary: $53,940 - $80,760 (based on location)
  • Performance Bonus Target: $24,000 annually (performance-based), paid quarterly
  • World-Class Training: Paid, hands-on training and on-the-job mentorship
  • Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401K match, ~4 weeks PTO in first full year
  • Career Growth: Promote-from-within culture with base and bonus increases

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree (or Associate's and 4+ years military experience)
  • Strong work ethic and a passion for solving challenging problems
  • Flexibility to adapt your schedule and support customers and salespeople
  • Willingness to travel (60-100%), including overnight
  • Valid driver's license and personal vehicle
  • Ability to lift and transport demo equipment (35-85 lbs.) into customer sites

Why KEYENCE?

  • Recognized by Forbes as one of the World's Most Innovative Companies
  • A global leader in factory automation and quality assurance solutions
  • Operating profit of over 40% for 25 consecutive years
  • A culture that invests in your success from day one
