Operations Engineer — Field Systems & Utility Construction Technology

Austin, TX | Full-Time | Exempt | Onsite/Field-Based | Travel Required

Infravision is looking for an Operations Engineer to serve as a key link between engineering, R&D, and field operations. This role will support the design, modification, maintenance, and field integration of the mechanical, hydraulic, and ground-based systems that make drone-enabled powerline stringing possible.

This is a hands‑on engineering role for someone who enjoys solving real‑world technical problems, working closely with field teams, and turning concepts into practical, safe, and reliable equipment solutions. The Operations Engineer will support both product development and field execution, helping ensure Infravision’s technology performs in demanding utility construction environments.

The right candidate will bring mechanical engineering capability, strong technical curiosity, practical problem‑solving skills, and the ability to work in a fast‑moving environment where engineering decisions directly impact field productivity, safety, and customer success.

Infravision is a high‑growth, technology‑enabled services company specialising in aerial robotics and software solutions for the transmission industry, with a focus on increasing grid capacity and automating power line construction. Infravision’s mission is to deliver solutions that modernise and decarbonise the power grid and accelerate the world’s transition to renewable energy.

Trusted by some of the world’s largest electric utility companies, Infravision’s technologies and services are at the cutting edge of transmission and power grid modernisation. Infravision operates across Australia, the United States, and India, and continues to scale globally.
