FORWARD DEPLOYED ENGINEER (f/m/d)

Founded in 2025, Omnisent is a Munich-based defense technology company developing fully autonomous, Counter-UAS system. We are a small, high-output team from Cambridge, Imperial College, MIT, and BCG united by a mission to redefine modern airspace security.

We are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to own the technical relationship with our customers on the ground – embedding directly with defense and government customers to integrate, adapt, and evolve OmniDome in real operational environments.

• Own the technical relationship with customers in the field, acting as the primary engineering point of contact on-site
• Integrate OmniDome with customer systems and infrastructure, incl. C2 platforms, and existing sensors
• Rapidly build and adapt software tools and configurations to solve customer-specific problems in the field
• Translate operational feedback and requirements from the field directly into product and engineering priorities
• Debug and resolve technical issues on-site, working directly with hardware, software, and ML teams back at HQ
• Travel to customer sites, including active operational environments, to support deployments and integrations
• Continuously improve OmniDome based on firsthand exposure to real-world deployment conditions

• Strong software engineering background – comfortable writing and debugging production-quality code
• Experience working directly with customers in a technical capacity (integration, solutions engineering, or similar)
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity, in the field, without a rigid playbook
• Strong communication skills – able to translate between customer needs and internal engineering priorities
• Willingness to travel extensively, including to demanding or contested environments
• EU work authorization

Bonus:

• Experience as a Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, or similar customer-facing technical role
• Background in defense, government, or other high-stakes operational environments
• Experience integrating software with hardware or sensor systems in the field

• Competitive Compensation: Highly competitive cash comp, along with virtual stock options, that reflect your experience and the value you bring
• Accelerated Learning & Growth: Join a fast-paced environment where you'll take on real responsibility, overcome meaningful challenges, and grow alongside a driven team
• Make a Real Impact: Play a key role in shaping Omnisent's journey and contribute directly to the success of the company

In your cover letter, we'd love to hear about your personal interests, what drives you, why this role feels like the right fit, and most importantly, why Omnisent.
