Counter-UAS Subject Matter Expert/Field Engineer

The Opportunity

NexTech Solutions is hiring a Counter-UAS Subject Matter Expert and Field Engineer to serve as the technical lead for our C-UAS portfolio with customers in the field. This is a hands-on, forward-deployed role. You will support test and evaluation events, run demonstrations, lead system fielding and operator training, and own the day-to-day customer relationship.

This position bridges engineering, operations, and customer success. The right candidate understands the C-UAS kill chain, detect, track, identify, and defeat, and is comfortable troubleshooting a sensor stack at a range, walking a customer through system capabilities, and training operators who are new to the system. You will be the person our customers call first.
