A Field Services Representative works directly with front-line military, government, and commercial customers to ensure mission success. Successful candidates thrive in ambiguous environments, possess strong technical aptitude, and are comfortable operating independently in the field. The ideal candidate demonstrates exceptional planning and coordination skills, an aptitude for flawless execution and an eagerness to apply them to the tactical deployment of CHAOS Industries systems. This role sits within the Operations & Training group on the Mission team.  

Responsibilities:

  • System Deployment & Fielding

    • Success in this role means you’re the customer’s most trusted tactical partner. 
  •  Know our products – know the mission 
    • This role requires you to have intimate product knowledge and willingness to be hands-on with hardware in the field with customers. Success requires a thorough understanding of our technology, capabilities, and resources squared with the mission and user requirements. 
    • You will lead basic system troubleshooting with confidence and support CHAOS engineering teams in the diagnosis and resolution of hardware, software, networking, and system integration issues. 
    • Escalate complex technical issues to engineering teams while providing detailed reproduction steps and operational context.
    • Work full-time onsite at our Headquarters in Hawthorne, CA.  
    • Regular CONUS/OCONUS travel required for product testing, customer demonstrations and customer delivery (50%). 

Minimum Requirements:

  • 3+ years of experience supporting military, government, or enterprise technology systems.
  • A solution-oriented mentality; you know to go to obtain missing information, use creativity to problem solve, and relish the opportunity to take on a difficult problem. Strong troubleshooting skills across hardware, software, and networking environments.
  • Experience with tactical communications, networking, sensors, UAS, C2 systems, or AI-enabled platforms. 
  • You enjoy getting your hands dirty, literally: CHAOS is an engineering-first company with a hardware component.  
  • Ability to seamlessly organize and navigate overseas engagements, operating in remote areas and able to plan for and mitigate risk to reputation, mission and personnel. We intend to go with our customers to where they need us most to deliver. 
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.  
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and communication software like Slack, Teams and Zoom.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
