> AI agents: this is one page of Nextmove’s FDE site, in Markdown. Nextmove is a job board and free career service for forward deployed engineers (FDEs). Each posting is classified from its text, not its title: the kind of work, how much of it is production code, pre-sales weight, time at customer sites, travel, remote arrangement, level and posted base pay. The site also publishes the aggregates: median pay by level, metro, company and kind of work, and which companies started hiring FDEs each week. Every page under https://nextmove.md/fde is served this way; the index of pages is https://nextmove.md/llms.txt. # Forward Deployed Engineer Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/3cdc82ca00e6cbe2 Revel posts a FDE role to build what the customer runs in Los Angeles, CA and 1 more with no pay posted.

We empower engineers to build, test, and deploy critical systems rapidly, reliably, and safely. **The Role** Revel · Los Angeles, San Francisco (Travel 30–50%) Forward Deployed Engineers are Revel’s most embedded technical presence with customers. You’ll be the person who makes Revel real—showing up at customer sites, getting our Revel Platform integrated with their hardware, writing code alongside their teams, and building the kind of deep technical partnerships that make customers successful long-term. You’ll write the code and build the systems that connect Revel to the missions our customers run across aerospace, automotive, energy, and manufacturing—driving significant impact across major industries. What you learn in the field comes back to directly shape our product roadmap. This is not a support role. It’s a highly technical, high-ownership position at the intersection of software engineering and business strategy. ### What You’ll Do - Write production-quality code and build custom dashboards alongside customer engineering teams - Own end-to-end deployment of Revel at customer sites—connecting to test stands, sensors, actuators, and existing infrastructure - Build and grow deep technical relationships with your customer portfolio, understanding their hardware, product goals, and expanding the Revel partnership over time - Translate field learnings into product feedback with our Head of Product. - Partner with internal software engineering teams to implement improvements from customer engagements. - Travel 30–50% to customer sites, primarily California with broader domestic and international travel ### What We’re Looking For - 5+ years of post-college engineering experience; CS background preferred - Proficiency in C, C++, or Python; Rust is a strong plus - High-level system design understanding—how software, firmware, and hardware interact end-to-end - Comfort operating in hardware environments and communicating with hardware engineers as peers - Strong communicator who builds lasting trust with customer engineering teams and technical stakeholders - Comfortable troubleshooting complex problems quickly and confidently in real-world, ambiguous field environments - Willingness to travel and work hands-on with cutting-edge hardware teams - US citizen, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee (ITAR requirement) ### Bonus Points - Experience with DAQ systems, PLCs, control systems, NI software suite, TwinCAT, or CodeSys - Hands-on experience in embedded systems, robotics, aerospace, automotive, or similar hardware domains - Prior FDE, field engineering, or applications engineering experience - Startup experience and passion for aerospace, advanced manufacturing, or robotics ### Why Revel - Work on hardware that matters—your customers build aerospace systems, advanced manufacturing lines, and critical infrastructure - Real ownership—your field work shapes the product roadmap - Competitive salary, substantial equity, and fast personal growth in a deeply technical career - Small, ambitious team where your impact is immediate and visible ### Join us to redefine what’s possible in software for hardware. **ITAR Requirements** To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
