Job description
About Aalyria:
Aalyria is a leading technology company that supplies laser communications technology and temporospatial software-defined networking platforms to the aerospace industry. With technology acquired from Google, Aalyria is at the forefront of innovation in satellite and airborne mesh networks, as well as cislunar and deep-space communications. We are revolutionizing the orchestration and management of planetary mesh networks using any radio or optical spectrum, any orbit, and any hardware across land, sea, air, and space.
Role Overview:
As a Field Engineer at Aalyria, you'll be the critical link between our Spacetime technology and the customers who depend on it for mission success. You'll deploy to the field to install, configure, troubleshoot, and integrate Spacetime-orchestrated SATCOM systems for customers who need them to work flawlessly, in real-world conditions, under real-world pressure.
We're looking for engineers who bring genuine range. The strongest Spacetime Field Engineers move comfortably across electronics, software, RF, mechanisms, cabling, and networking. That breadth is what lets you operate independently across the full spectrum of SATCOM deployments, from terrestrial ground stations to airborne, shipborne, and satellite terminals.
Key Responsibilities:
Required Qualifications:
Preferred Qualifications:
What We Offer:
ITAR/EAR Requirements:
This position involves access to export-controlled information. To comply with U.S. government export regulations, applicants must meet one of the following criteria:
