Strategic Field Application Engineer

As a Staff Field Application Engineer (FAE) on Boston Dynamics’ Strategic FAE team, you will be the technical lead for our most strategic enterprise accounts, scaling our robotic solutions from a first site to fleets across global, multi-site operations. This role pairs deep technical expertise with business and Go-To-Market strategy: you are the link between program-level governance and on-the-ground execution, making sure every deployment delivers measurable operational value and opens the door to account growth.

Working closely with Sales, Customer Success, Support, and Product R&D, you will turn what you learn in the field into the products and repeatable playbooks that let us scale.

Own the delivery strategy for scalable, multi-site robotics programs, from solution design, infrastructure, and network integration through global expansion planning.

Serve as the primary technical contact for strategic accounts, building consultative partnerships across customer business units and aligning Sales, Customer Success, Support, and R&D around the customer’s long-term business strategy.

Own program-level Statements of Work (SOWs) that define scope, deliverables, and ownership, along with repeatable integration strategy playbooks that meet industry and regulatory requirements.

Connect robot data and workflows to customer systems such as CMMS, asset management, and analytics pipelines, and lead diagnosis, resolution, and performance optimization across hardware, software, and networking during deployment.

Define adoption strategies that build customer ownership of their robot programs, and implement frameworks to measure operational value and fleet utilization.

Lead early product testing with strategic customers, and turn field data and feedback into clear requirements that shape the Boston Dynamics product roadmap.

Guide other FAEs and integration teams, using patterns in field data to drive continuous improvement of the global integration roadmap.

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, or a related technical field, or equivalent industry experience.

5+ years of professional experience with a Bachelor’s degree, or 3+ years with a Master’s degree, in fast-paced technology integration, robotics, or complex systems engineering environment.

Proven track record of overseeing high-complexity technical deployments and managing the intersection of hardware, software, and operational workflows.

Demonstrated ability to communicate complex technical concepts effectively to engineering teams, operators, and business stakeholders, ensuring alignment on project goals and impact.

We Value Operational Adaptability:
