The Field Engineer will be required to assess each location and provide unique system configurations/solutions to ensure operability.

The individual will be highly compensated with an annual compensation meeting the salary test for the Administrative exemption.

Troubleshoots technical problems and issues, determines technical solution in accordance with product and customer specifications, and recommends actions to company or customer representatives for coordinative product solution.

Given the indefiniteness of this requirement, actual CONUS requirements are not fully defined at this time.
