We are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Field Technician to support the deployment of AI-powered computer vision systems in healthcare and industrial environments. In this role, you will work closely under the guidance of a Senior AI Field Engineer and with customers to help with system performance, site surveys, camera layout planning, low-voltage infrastructure mapping, data collection, and hands-on field work.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone early in their technical career who wants exposure to real-world AI applications, system deployments, and the physical infrastructure behind modern vision-based solutions.

Responsibilities:

  • Maintain organized records of installed hardware and deployment metadata
  • Support low-voltage planning (e.g., cable paths, camera mount locations)
  • Handle light troubleshooting and escalate technical issues to the senior engineer
  • Participate in travel to customer sites as needed to assist with deployments

Preferred:

  • Understanding of low-voltage systems and installation requirements
  • Familiarity with tools like Milestone, Genetec, Blue Iris, or similar VMS platforms
  • Basic scripting or automation skills to support layout configuration or documentation (e.g., Python, bash)

Requirements

  • 1–2 years of hands-on experience in a technical support, field service, IT, or installer-type role (or relevant coursework)
  • Comfortable with tools such as Lucidchart, Google Sheets, or Visio
  • Basic understanding of networked systems (IP cameras, switches, etc.)
  • Strong organizational skills and a methodical approach to data collection and reporting
  • Willingness to travel and work onsite in clinical or industrial environments
  • Curious, proactive, and eager to learn from senior engineers and real-world deployments
  • Experience with site survey tools, cable routing diagrams, or facility blueprints
  • Exposure to AI, computer vision, or edge computing concepts
