Deployed Engineer

This is not a traditional desk-based software role. The ideal candidate is comfortable traveling to customer sites, working hands-on in lab or integration environments, and solving technical issues directly alongside customers.

As the first role of its kind at Apex, this person will help define what deployed engineering looks like for the company. Over time, they will help build the processes, documentation, escalation paths, and operating model needed to scale customer deployments across Apex’s growing product portfolio.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering, electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related technical field
• Strong software engineering background, with experience building, debugging, integrating, or supporting software-enabled technical products
• Experience troubleshooting complex technical systems in lab, integration, production, field, or customer environments
• Ability to support software compatibility across flight software, ground software, test tools, and customer integration environments
• Experience with Linux, Python, C/C++, networking, test automation, APIs, or similar technical tools
• Ability to read, interpret, and support implementation of software Interface Control Documents, system diagrams, test procedures, and other technical documentation
• Strong customer-facing communication skills, with the ability to explain technical issues clearly to both engineering and non-engineering audiences
• Comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where the path is not fully defined
• Willingness and ability to travel to customer sites as needed

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with aerospace, spacecraft, satellites, avionics, ground systems, EGSE, or mission operations
• Experience supporting customer operation of virtual flatsats, bus emulators, EGSE test racks, or similar lab-based engineering systems
• Experience supporting hardware/software integration, system test, or field deployment of technical products
• Prior experience in a field applications engineering, solutions engineering, deployed engineering, systems engineering, or customer-facing technical role
• Familiarity with spacecraft bus architectures, flight software, ground software, telemetry, command and control systems, or electrical ground support equipment
• Experience resolving customer technical questions by coordinating clarifications with internal software, systems, avionics, or product engineering teams
• Experience tracking changes, clarifications, and updates needed to software-related customer documentation
• Interest in helping define and grow a new technical function from the ground up
