The ideal candidate possesses an exceptionally deep and practical understanding of complex public safety drone operations, solution architecture, a genuine passion for innovative problem-solving, and superior communication and interpersonal skills.

Responsibilities

Solution Design & Needs Assessment

• Consult with public safety customers to conduct detailed needs assessments, meticulously designing tailored Drone As First Responder (DFR) solutions.

• Define system architecture, hardware requirements, and integration strategies after thoroughly reviewing the customer's current infrastructure, networks, and operational goals.

• Architect end-to-end data workflows ensuring that live video streams, telemetry, and captured evidence comply with Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) security standards and local agency retention policies.

End-to-End DFR Deployment & Infrastructure Engineering

• Lead the full lifecycle, end-to-end deployment of critical DFR and tactical drone programs, mapping out all deployment and integration details to ensure a successful system launch.

• Conduct physical site readiness and infrastructure engineering assessments, including evaluating optimal rooftop placements, automated docking stations ("drone-in-a-box" technology), power delivery, weatherproofing, and local structural or zoning compliance.

• Ensure successful system launch and full operational status, taking ultimate responsibility for closing the CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) operational steps following physical installation and customer training.

CAD / RMS & Legacy Systems Integration

• Design and implement technical integrations between the CAPE software platform and agency Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Records Management Systems (RMS).

• Configure automated dispatch triggers that allow drones to autonomously launch and navigate to incident coordinates immediately upon a 911 call being logged in the CAD system.

Regulatory Advisory & FAA Compliance Support

• Act as a technical consultant to public safety agencies navigating the regulatory landscape required for advanced DFR operations.

• Assist clients in defining the technical safety cases required to secure complex FAA waivers, specifically Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) and Tactical BVLOS (TBVLOS) clearances.

• Ensure deployment architectures adequately support required airspace awareness systems (e.g., Radar, ADS-B receivers, and UTM frameworks) to maintain strict FAA compliance.

Advanced Technical Support & Optimization

• Serve as the premier technical expert for post-deployment customer support, providing high-level technical guidance, diagnosing complex issues, and collaborating to resolve operational issues promptly.

• Perform comprehensive technical troubleshooting of network configurations (e.g., cellular modem/routers, APN profiles, VPNs, and priority/preemption networks like FirstNet), PC/OS updates, and drone hardware/uplink connections.

Remote & Onsite support

• Provide expert onsite support (50-75% travel required) for deployment, optimization, and troubleshooting.

• Provide remote support where appropriate.

Sales Enablement & Product Demonstrations

• Actively support the sales team by participating in client meetings, industry events, and conducting detailed, live product demonstrations of the CAPE suite for prospects and partners.

• Manage pre-sale consultations, prepare technical presentations, coordinate complex demo logistics (equipment, power, connectivity), and secure necessary site-specific flight permissions and documentation.

Training Consultation & SME Input

• Serve as the internal Subject Matter Expert (SME), consulting directly with the internal Training Team to provide necessary technical and operational input for developing comprehensive training methodologies.

Requirements

• Proven experience in solution architecture, systems integration, or technical deployment engineering within the UAS/drone industry or public safety sector.

• Deep familiarity with IP networking, cellular data routing (LTE/5G), cloud computing, software integrations (APIs), and public safety CAD/RMS systems.

• Strong understanding of current DFR market trends, competitive ecosystems, and advanced drone hardware docking technologies. Ability and willingness to travel 50-75% of the time.

• Bachelor's degree required (preferably in Computer Science, Engineering, Aviation, or a related technical field). Master's degree preferred.
