Forward Deployed Engineer
Hardware Track
Revel · Los Angeles, San Francisco, London (Travel: 30–50%)
About Revel
At Revel, we are revolutionizing the way the world’s most critical hardware is controlled—across aerospace, automotive, energy, and manufacturing sectors. Our next-generation software stack combines:
- An intuitive command/control interface
- A specialized programming language tailored for hardware control
- A high-performance runtime environment
We empower engineers to build, test, and deploy critical systems rapidly, reliably, and safely.
The Role
Forward Deployed Engineers are Revel’s most embedded technical presence with customers. You’ll be the person who makes Revel real by:
- Showcasing our software at customer sites
- Writing code alongside their teams in real-world environments
- Building deep technical partnerships to drive long-term success
This is not a support role—it’s a high-ownership position blending software engineering and business strategy at the intersection of mission-critical hardware.
What You’ll Do
- Own end-to-end deployment of Revel at customer sites (integrating with test stands, sensors, actuators, and existing infrastructure)
- Build and grow deep technical relationships with customer engineering teams by:
- Understanding their hardware requirements
- Expanding the Revel partnership over time
- Delivering hands-on training with RevelCode, dashboard development, and technical support
- Translate field learnings into direct product feedback for Revel’s Head of Product
- Travel 30–50% (primarily California, with broader domestic/International assignments)
