R&D Field Test Technician

Help us collect the real-world data that drives our next generation of radar systems.

MatrixSpace develops AI-enabled radar and sensing systems that help people understand what's happening in the world around them. By combining advanced radar, edge computing, and AI, we deliver situational awareness in environments where traditional sensing solutions struggle.

We're looking for a hands-on technician to help test and operate radar systems in real-world environments. You'll spend time in the field running tests, collecting data, operating drones and radar systems, troubleshooting issues, and helping engineering teams improve next-generation sensing products.

If you're naturally curious, enjoy working with technology, and don't mind getting outside to make things happen, we'd love to talk.

What You'll Do

• Plan and execute field tests for radar and sensing systems
• Deploy and operate radar systems, drones, networking equipment, and supporting infrastructure
• Collect, organize, and document test data for engineering teams
• Troubleshoot hardware, software, networking, and configuration issues in real time
• Work closely with engineering teams to identify problems and improve system performance
• Set up, maintain, and transport test equipment and field gear
• Travel to test locations and support outdoor operations

You Might Be a Great Fit If...

• You enjoy working hands-on with technology
• You're naturally curious and like understanding how things work
• You've spent time tinkering—whether that's building PCs, configuring networks, flying drones, working on cars, or personal electronics projects
• You can prioritize effectively when multiple tasks need attention at the same time
• You enjoy solving problems without always having a detailed playbook
• You don't mind spending time outdoors, including in challenging field conditions
• You take ownership of your work and follow through on details

What We're Looking For

Required

• 1–3 years of experience in a technical, testing, operations, engineering support, or similar hands-on role
• Experience working with technical equipment, electronic systems, or sensor platforms
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in dynamic environments
• Strong organizational and documentation skills
• Ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team
• Willingness to travel and work outdoors in varying conditions
• Ability to lift and move test equipment as needed

Bonus Points

• Experience conducting field testing, data collection, or test operations
• Experience operating drones or unmanned systems
• FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate (or willingness to obtain one after joining)
• Experience with RF systems, radar systems, or wireless communications equipment
• Familiarity with Linux, scripting, or Python
• Experience with networking concepts, IP configuration, routers, Starlink, or satellite communications equipment
• Military electronics, telecommunications, aerospace, or defense experience
• Amateur radio license or other technical certifications

At MatrixSpace, field testing is where our products meet reality. The data you collect and the problems you solve directly influence the systems our engineering teams build. If you enjoy working with advanced technology, solving real-world challenges, and spending time in the field, we'd love to hear from you.
