About Us
Specter is creating a software-defined "control plane" for the physical world. We are starting with protecting American businesses by granting them ubiquitous perception over their physical assets.

To do so, we are creating a connected hardware-software ecosystem on top of multi-modal wireless mesh sensing technology. This allows us to drive down the cost and time of deploying sensors by 10x. Our platform will ultimately become the perception engine for a company's physical footprint, enabling real-time perimeter visibility and autonomous operations management.

Our co-founders Xerxes and Philip are passionate about empowering our partners in the fast approaching world of physical AI and robotics. We are a small, fast growing team who hail from Anduril, Tesla, Uber, and the U.S. Special Forces.

The Role
Specter is hiring tough, adaptable field engineers who can bridge hands-on installation with technical troubleshooting. You'll make sure our systems go in clean, power up on the first try, and stay online-whether that's running conduit, aligning antennas, commissioning radios, or documenting installs for regulators.

This role is for doers: people who like working outside, solving problems under pressure, and leaving behind work that's built to last. If you've worked in the military, trades, or other high-consequence environments-and you want to bring that mindset into the frontier of technology-this is the place.

Responsibilities
- Install and commission Specter systems in the field: power, radios, antennas, and enclosures
- Run clean electrical and network installs: conduit, grounding, labeling, weatherproofing.
- Troubleshoot end-to-end connectivity (power, network, RF) and deliver back crisp handover reports.
- Work with local authorities, utilities, and inspectors to secure permits and pass inspections.
- Maintain accurate as-builts, documentation, and checklists; help refine playbooks so every install gets faster and better.
- Support pilots and field testing; provide feedback to engineering teams on hardware, software, and process improvements.
- Be ready for long days, remote work sites, and hard, physical work.

Desired Extras
- 3+ years of hands-on experience in one or more of: electrical work, telecom deployments, small cell/private LTE/5G, data center or industrial power systems, or equivalent high-stakes fieldwork.
- Strong mechanical and electrical instincts; able to safely wire, mount, and power systems.
- Familiarity with radios, antennas, or networking gear (LTE/5G/CBRS a plus).
- Comfort working at heights, with lifts, and around heavy equipment.
- Clean safety record; disciplined with lockout/tagout, PPE, and RF safety.
- Strong communication skills-clear, professional, and direct with teammates, vendors, and regulators.
- Valid driver's license; comfortable traveling and working off-hours when sites require.

What We Offer
-A chance to build mission-critical systems at the intersection of hardware, software, and operations.
-Work that blends field toughness with technical challenge.
-A small, elite team where your impact is direct and visible.
-Competitive compensation and benefits.
