UAV Field Product Engineer | Lisbon/Caldas

Location: Lisbon and Caldas da Rainha when not travelling to customer sites

The Role

At TEKEVER, we build Europe's most capable maritime surveillance UAS. When our AR5 deploys to a coastguard, a naval operation, or a border agency, it needs engineers who can make it work on the ground, under pressure, in environments that do not forgive mistakes.

As a Field Product Engineer, you will be embedded directly with customer teams worldwide. This is a field-first role. You will spend up to half your time deployed at customer and partner sites, supporting live operations and flight tracks worldwide. The remaining time is based at our campus in Caldas da Rainha, working closely with the core engineering and product team.

What you'll do

• Develop and deliver customer-specific features and integrations on top of TEKEVER's baseline systems

• Work directly with customer engineering and operations teams on-site to translate operational needs into technical solutions

• Maintain system integrity while extending functionality for each deployment

• Be the feedback bridge between field operations and TEKEVER's core product development teams

• Travel regularly to customer sites around the world. This is a core part of the role, not an occasional add-on

What you bring

• 4+ years of hands-on engineering experience across at least two domains: electrical, electronics, network & systems, telecommunications or mechatronics

• Proven ability to pick up unfamiliar systems fast and build on top of them reliably

• Strong communication skills. You are comfortable working directly with customer teams in demanding, professional field environments

• A bias for getting things done: a working solution in the field beats a perfect one still in review

• Willingness to travel internationally on a regular basis

Nice to have

• Experience with unmanned systems, avionics, or complex embedded platforms

• Background in systems integration or field deployment in defence or regulated environments

• Familiarity with programs delivery including governmental

What we have to offer you

• A dynamic and collaborative working environment, with the opportunity to make a real impact
• A competitive salary package, aligned with your proven level of experience
• Meal allowance and health insurance for employees
• Shuttle transport service to the offices in Leiria, Caldas da Rainha and Ponte de Sor
• Bonus in line with company policy
• Access to the Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
