Field Service Engineer
Full-time | On-site (Brooklyn, NY) | $100,000-$120,000 DOE
The Role
We’re looking for a Field Service Engineer to join our team, working out of our Brooklyn, NY office.
As our first hire in this function, you’ll play a key role in deploying Caladan 250 systems, training customers, and making sure our users have a great experience from day one. You’ll spend your first few months in our Brooklyn lab learning the product inside and out — running systems, understanding every module, and building confidence with the workflows our customers rely on. Over time, you’ll support installations worldwide, perform preventive maintenance, troubleshoot hardware and process issues, and help establish best practices for how Caladan systems are used in real bioprocess environments.
Expect a dynamic, startup-style environment where priorities shift quickly and the work spans hands-on technical service, customer training, and shaping how our field service function grows.
