About the Job 

This is an exceptional opportunity to play a hands-on technical role at the center of next-generation unmanned systems development. As a Sales Engineer, you will guide leading drones and robotics OEMs through successful integration of Doodle Labs radios from initial technical evaluation through field testing and deployment. 

You will own customer-facing engineering engagements, solve complex RF and networking challenges, and ensure that customer platforms achieve reliable, high-performance communications in operational environments. Reporting into Sales Engineering leadership, this role sits at the intersection of customer success, field engineering, technical problem-solving, and mission execution. 

What You’ll Do 

1. Win and Accelerate Design-In Success 

• Manage 10–15 active customer integrations and guide them through structured technical milestones with a target of ≥90% technical win rate. 

2. Ensure Successful Field Validation 

• Support UAV/UGV/USV deployments through disciplined field testing, execution, and rapid troubleshooting — achieving ≥95% on-time test milestones. 

3. Resolve Complex RF & Networking Integration Challenges 

• Diagnose and solve issues across RF propagation, antenna system performance, link budgets, EMI/EMC, system power, TCP/IP connectivity, and mesh networking. Capture learnings to strengthen future integrations. 

4. Maintain Operational Discipline Through CRM Visibility 

• Drive ≥90% accuracy in HubSpot through real-time updates, status documentation, action tracking, and forecasting — enabling clear cross-functional alignment. 

5. Build Customer Confidence Through Onsite Engagement 

• Travel up to 50% to lead technical workshops, demos, validation events, and mission-relevant field activities that build customer trust, reference ability, and long-term adoption. 

What Success Looks Like 

In the First 6 Months: 

• Clear ownership of 10–15 active integrations with structured technical plans. 
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot RF, networking, and system-level issues in the field.

• Repeat deployments and expanded adoption across customer fleets. 
• Proven reliability supporting UAV, UGV, and maritime field validations. 
• Recognized by customers and internal teams as a trusted technical advisor. 

Who You Are 

• 3–7+ years in a customer-facing technical role (Sales Engineering, Field Apps, Integration, Solutions Engineering). 
• Strong hands-on understanding of RF propagation, antennas, interference mitigation, and wireless networking. 
• Experience integrating radios into UAV/autonomy platforms (command-and-control, telemetry, high-throughput data links). 
• Skilled communicator who thrives in field environments solving real-world engineering challenges. 
• Motivated by ownership and high accountability — your work directly influences customer success and program outcomes. 

Nice to Have 

• Familiarity with mesh networking concepts (mobile MANET routing, distributed networks). 
• TCP/IP configuration and troubleshooting experience. 
• Background supporting DoD programs, defense primes, or DIU prototypes. 
• Experience with autonomy OEMs (industrial drones, logistics AMRs, maritime robotics). 

Additional Details 

• Location: Remote U.S. role with frequent customer travel 
• Travel: Up to 50% 
• Eligibility: U.S. Person status may be required depending on customer programs
