Product & Systems Engineer (Entry-Level)

Job description:

About the Role

Deploy Surveillance is seeking a versatile, entry-level Product & Systems Engineer to support the technical lifecycle and continuous improvement of our mobile security trailer fleet. This role is designed for a proactive, recent graduate who thrives on a balance of systems design, hands-on hardware integration, and real-world problem-solving. Reporting directly to the Technical Program Manager (TPM), you will play a pivotal role in ensuring our mobile units—powered by sophisticated solar and battery ecosystems—remain operational, reliable, and cutting-edge. This is an exceptional opportunity to gain hands-on, end- to-end product lifecycle experience while bridging the gap between product engineering and field deployment.

Key Responsibilities

• System Integration: Assemble, configure, and optimize advanced power management systems under the guidance of the TPM, including solar charge controllers, battery balancers, and distribution plates.
• Testing & Innovation: Actively test new trailer features, prototype hardware upgrades, and validate system performance to drive iterative product improvements.
• Hardware & Network Deployment: Install and configure high-end IP network cameras, specialized audio systems, emergency strobe lighting, and cellular gateways.
• Troubleshooting & Diagnostics: Perform rapid root-cause analysis and resolve complex electrical and hardware failures on active trailers in the shop and in the field.
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Collaborate closely with the TPM to track project milestones, document technical specs, update bill of materials (BOM), and translate field data into design improvements.
• Field Support & Travel: Provide hands-on technical support where it’s needed most. This position requires occasional travel to field sites to diagnose issues, perform upgrades, or assist with critical deployments.

Qualifications & Technical Skills

• Education: Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline is required. Recent graduates with strong project experience are highly encouraged to apply.
• Applied Technical Aptitude: Demonstrated experience with hands-on projects (e.g., electronics repair, automotive electrical, robotics, or senior capstone projects). Proficiency with power tools and diagnostic equipment is prefered.
• Systems Logic: Foundational understanding of DC power systems, solar charging profiles, and the ability to read electrical schematics are highly desirable.
• Testing & Validation: Experience executing systematic testing, root-cause analysis, and validation protocols on hardware, electrical, and mechanical systems.
• Communication & Adaptability: Strong verbal and written communication skills to provide clear updates to the TPM. Ability to pivot smoothly between a workshop fabrication environment and field-side troubleshooting.

Our Culture & Professional Values

At Deploy Surveillance, we hire for character as much as for technical skill. We are looking for a teammate who aligns with the following:

• Work Ethic & Integrity: You take pride in the quality of your work and operate with total transparency and professional ethics.
• The "Tinkerer" Mindset: You are naturally curious, enjoy the process of taking things apart to understand how they work, and possess a passion for engineering.
• Reliability: Our clients depend on our product for safety. We need an engineer who is dependable, meticulous, and detail-oriented in their troubleshooting.
• Community Minded: We value a positive, supportive work environment where everyone is willing to "pitch in" to get the job done.

What We Offer

• Competitive entry-level salary and benefits package (Medical, Dental, Vision).
• Direct mentorship from an experienced Technical Program Manager and Senior Engineers.
• A career progression path within product management, hardware engineering, or systems deployment.
• Hands-on experience with state-of-the-art surveillance, renewable energy, and IoT technology.
