About Us:
Havoc is a leader in all-domain collaborative autonomy. Its software-defined hardware approach powers military and commercial-grade autonomous systems across sea, air, and land to sense, decide, and act together in complex and contested environments. Havoc connects assets, enabling them to share information, adapt in real time, and continue operating even when communications are disrupted or denied. Havoc optimizes mission performance and minimizes human risk.
Havoc was founded in 2024 and headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island. Learn more at Havoc: All-Domain Collaborative Autonomy .
About the Role
As a Field Software Engineer, you'll bridge the gap between engineering and operations, deploying HavocAI's autonomous systems where they matter most.
This is not a traditional field support role. You will be an engineer embedded with our customers—deploying software, integrating systems, solving technical problems in real time, and writing code to keep missions moving.
You'll work alongside autonomy engineers, software developers, hardware engineers, operators, and government customers to ensure HavocAI systems perform reliably during testing, demonstrations, and operational deployments.
Success in this role requires someone who enjoys building as much as troubleshooting. You'll be expected to understand the software deeply enough to modify it in the field, rapidly implement fixes when needed, and know when to engage the broader engineering team.
If you enjoy seeing your code leave the lab and operate on autonomous vehicles in challenging environments, you'll fit right in.
What You'll Do
-
Deploy, configure, and operate HavocAI autonomous systems during customer demonstrations, exercises, and operational events.
-
Travel to customer sites to support field testing, integrations, and mission deployments.
-
Develop and modify software directly in the field to solve mission-critical problems.
-
Integrate HavocAI systems with customer platforms, communications systems, sensors, and partner technologies.
-
Diagnose and resolve software, networking, hardware interface, and system integration issues under real operational conditions.
-
Analyze logs, telemetry, and system performance to identify root causes and validate fixes.
-
Collaborate closely with software, autonomy, hardware, product, and program teams to improve system reliability.
