About Aalyria:

Aalyria is a leading technology company that supplies laser communications technology and temporospatial software-defined networking platforms to the aerospace industry. With technology acquired from Google, Aalyria is at the forefront of innovation in satellite and airborne mesh networks, as well as cislunar and deep-space communications. We are revolutionizing the orchestration and management of planetary mesh networks using any radio or optical spectrum, any orbit, and any hardware across land, sea, air, and space.

Role Overview:

As a Field Engineer at Aalyria, you'll be the critical link between our Spacetime technology and the customers who depend on it for mission success. You'll deploy to the field to install, configure, troubleshoot, and integrate Spacetime-orchestrated SATCOM systems for customers who need them to work flawlessly, in real-world conditions, under real-world pressure.

We're looking for engineers who bring genuine range. The strongest Spacetime Field Engineers move comfortably across electronics, software, RF, mechanisms, cabling, and networking. That breadth is what lets you operate independently across the full spectrum of SATCOM deployments, from terrestrial ground stations to airborne, shipborne, and satellite terminals.

Key Responsibilities:

Deploy to customer sites, test ranges, and demo locations to set up, configure, and operate Spacetime-orchestrated SATCOM systems
Lead site surveys, installation, configuration, and commissioning for terrestrial, airborne, shipborne, and satellite communications deployments
Perform hands-on mechanical assembly and integration across a variety of antenna hardware and mechanisms
Set up and configure SATCOM terminals, and integrate them into a customer's existing network environment
Troubleshoot complex issues spanning RF/transceiver behavior, mechanical mounts, and network integration, often in time-sensitive field environments, using engineering-level debug interfaces
Monitor systems during demos and test events; track, download, and interpret performance data in real time
Perform basic Linux system administration: installing packages, updating software, identifying missing dependencies, and conducting first-level debugging
Support equipment teardown, data collection, and post-event field reporting to inform internal teams of deployment conditions, performance, and lessons learned
Collaborate with R&D, Solutions Architects, and Mission Engineers to translate field feedback into product improvements and ensure successful customer onboarding
Deliver technical training and documentation (setup guides, maintenance procedures) to customer engineering teams as needed
Support pre-sales engineering through technical demonstrations and proof-of-concept deployments

Required Qualifications:

Willingness to travel domestically and internationally for field deployments (up to 50%), sometimes on short notice
Comfort working hands-on with a variety of mechanical hardware and mechanisms
Working familiarity with RF communications and transceiver fundamentals
Familiarity with networking protocols (Ethernet, TCP/IP, IPv4/IPv6) sufficient to integrate a terminal into a customer's network
Ability to quickly learn and navigate engineering-level and debug user interfaces
Comfort with Linux and able to install packages, update software, identify missing dependencies, and perform basic troubleshooting
Strong communication skills, able to explain technical concepts to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
A proactive, independent problem-solving mindset, comfortable in diverse and sometimes challenging field environments

Preferred Qualifications:

Direct hands-on experience setting up and configuring SATCOM terminals (GEO bent-pipe through fully regenerative systems, including Starlink-class systems)
Hands-on experience with point-to-point or point-to-multipoint RF wireless systems
Proficiency with RF test and measurement equipment (spectrum analyzers, signal generators, power meters)
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Software Engineering, Electrical/Communications Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline
Active U.S. Secret security clearance, or ability to obtain one
Experience in aerospace, defense, satellite communications, or telecom domains

What We Offer:

Innovative Environment: Work at a cutting-edge company shaping the future of aerospace communications.
Impactful Work: Directly contribute to critical national security programs and initiatives.
Growth Opportunities: Expand your career with opportunities for professional development and advancement.
Inclusive Culture: Be part of a collaborative, supportive, and inclusive workplace where your contributions matter.
Flexibility: Flexible working arrangements including hybrid remote/in-office schedules.
Compensation and Equity: Competitive salary, comprehensive benefits (401(k), dental, vision, health, life insurance), paid time off, and equity options.
