## About the role

You are the person who walks into an engineering firm or a factory and makes Adam real. You install it in their CAD environment, sit with their engineers, take their actual backlog, and don't leave until Adam is doing production work for them. Forward deployed means forward deployed: you work from the customer's office and shop floor more than from ours.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years of experience
- US citizen/visa only
- Full-time Engineering role
