Discover it for yourself: About the role Forward Deployed Engineering exists to close the gap between world-class sensor technology and mission success in the field.
As Forward Deployed Engineering Manager, you will build and lead a global team of engineers who embed directly with customers — on vehicles, on vessels, on ranges and in integration labs — to design, integrate, validate and ship navigation solutions into complex defence and commercial platforms.




This is a player-coach leadership role for a deeply technical operator.
You will co-own the technical dimension of the customer journey from qualification through to fielded capability, and you will be accountable for the commercial outcomes that flow from it: win rate, time-to-integration and product-customer fit.
The role is a core pillar of the Growth organisation, reporting directly to the Chief Growth Officer.
You will lead the organisational machinery — processes, tools, and playbooks — that enable our regional GTM teams to succeed.
You will work in close partnership with regional leaders (Americas, EMEA, APAC) to ensure FDE activity is forecastable and directed at the priorities which drive growth for their business.
Roles hold a formal seat in product roadmap governance Champion product-customer fit as a measurable discipline, not a slogan — instrument it, report on it, improve it Partner with R
