We are now seeking a Field Deployment Engineer to join our team and help deliver this transformative technology.
Join Archangel Imaging and help transform machines into teammates.
At Archangel Imaging, we’re combining AI and robotics to protect our service personnel, critical infrastructure, and first responders in large, remote areas.
We’re pushing the boundaries of technology by creating systems that don’t just assist but become teammates in the field.
Our groundbreaking UXV navigation co-pilot system is designed to operate autonomously in some of the world's most challenging environments, even where GPS and navigation signals are unavailable. With applications in both civil and military use cases, our mission is to redefine how humans and machines collaborate.
About the Role
As a Field Deployment Engineer, you will be on the front lines of deploying, integrating, and supporting our AI-driven systems in the real world. Your work will ensure that our cutting-edge technology performs seamlessly for our customers in demanding environments.
You’ll balance hands-on product testing during the development phase with external-facing support responsibilities as our systems are deployed globally.
What you’ll do
- First responder: Provide on-site and remote support as the first responder for product installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance to ensure optimal customer satisfaction and seamless operations. Regardless of whether the issue falls within your area of expertise, you take the lead in addressing it and collaborate with the appropriate experts such as product development team to ensure it is resolved effectively.
- Hardware support: Support the assembly, integration, and testing of products both in-lab and in-field to maintain quality standards
- Documentation: Contribute to the creation, review, and maintenance of high-quality documentation, including Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), user manuals, training material, records of field activities, technical issues, and solutions to improve support processes and knowledge-sharing
- Engineering support: Contribute to creative problem solving to ensure seamless execution, optimise the success of deployed products, and enable integration across a diverse range of customer platforms, workflows, and technology stacks.
What you bring
Must haves:
- A degree in Electrical /Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
- Proficiency in Linux troubleshooting, including command line and scripting experience.
- At least 1 year of experience in a support/field/product engineering role, particularly in industries like aerospace, defence, or high-quality assurance sectors.
- Ability to travel 25-50%, both within the UK and internationally.
- A valid UK driving license and the ability to obtain relevant security clearances.
Desirable:
- Hands-on experience with UAVs/drones, including flight controllers, sensors, and payload integration.
- Background in aerospace, defence, or service industries (RAF, Navy, Army).
- Familiarity with AI/ML-based navigation technology, flight simulation software, or camera systems.
- Programming knowledge in Python and C++
- Experience with standard troubleshooting tools and diagnostic equipment.
What to expect in your day-to-day
- Provide first line on-site, or remote troubleshooting for products currently deployed with customers.
- Collaborate with engineers, flight trials teams, and customer success teams to prepare and deploy products for demonstrations and in-field testing.
- Solve real-world challenges in partnership with customers and contribute directly to mission-critical projects.
- Support product performance in environments where no GPS or standard navigation signals are available.

What We Do
Archangel Imaging deploys smart machines alongside people to protect valuable assets and at-risk staff in remote or challenging places. Remote operations are difficult. Whether you are operating drone patrols over marine reserves or monitoring static energy infrastructure, your ability to succeed depends on the supporting infrastructure used to coordinate any response. Today’s machines are still mostly tools, not team mates. Our smart devices can be retrofitted to other machines to make them smarter and more resilient in a changing environment, independent from any infrastructure. Our Argonaut™ AI cameras watch for poachers in Africa, oil thieves in South America or potential suicides on the European railways. Our GENIE™ navigation units enable any drone to independently navigate and complete missions without GPS signals. We use the Cerebella™ mission management platform to gather best-in-class machines from an ever-increasing catalogue of partners and to integrate them into a human-centred workflow. Cerebella™ allows humans, AI, satellite analytics, robots, drones and IoT sensors to work together as part of a combined team in complex missions. These hybrid teams can respond faster and more effectively to safety or security threats over large remote areas. Whether it’s cables being stolen, oil being tapped or elephants poached for ivory, we provide the ability for the security team to know before these incidents about to happen and immediately intervene or follow up.
