About the Role
As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), you will serve as a critical asset within our most strategic client engagements, working directly with client teams to unlock data, develop agile production solutions, and significantly reduce time-to-value from months to mere weeks. This is not a staffing role; it is a value-engineering position that is hands-on, deeply technical, rapid, and focused on demonstrating ROI in real-world operational settings.
In this position, you will be integrated full-time within one of our US sectors—Energy, Utilities, or Public Sector—collaborating on-site with operators, engineers, analysts, and executives to identify opportunities, manipulate data, validate value through rapid prototyping, and implement solutions that yield measurable financial and operational benefits.
Your contributions will directly influence commercial growth, platform development, and the reputation of Sand Technologies in complex, asset-intensive environments.
This role is ideally suited for a technically proficient engineer or scientist who excels in ambiguous situations, is passionate about solving tangible problems in the field, and possesses the communication skills and resilience necessary to build trust in demanding customer environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Integrate with clients to unlock data, map value streams, and create lightweight production-grade solutions.
- Conduct rapid analyses, prototyping, and iterative testing to deliver impactful results.
