VITALNET Field Engineer
Builds and holds the VITALNET sensing mesh — the nervous system that hears the whole population.
Role Summary
The VITALNET Field Engineer builds the network PANOPTICON listens through — the distributed sensing mesh of implant telemetry, ward sensors, corridor masts, and relay nodes that streams the population's signal back to PANACEA. The role deploys and services field nodes, holds mesh coverage and latency, and keeps the Synaptic Data Fabric whole across facilities and open corridors. Coverage is the mission's eyes; a partition is a blind spot, and blind spots do not last a shift.
Key Responsibilities
- Deploy, service, and calibrate VITALNET field nodes — biometric, implant-telemetry, behavioural-audio, dose-uptake, and compliance sensors.
- Hold mesh coverage, hop latency, and node power across facilities and distribution corridors, closing partitions fast.
- Maintain corridor relay masts and the roving mesh-relay fleet with the Vector engineers.
- Diagnose sensor drift, clock skew, and fabric faults feeding PANACEA, escalating coverage gaps to the analytics desk.
- Stage and certify new coverage build-outs for coverage-expansion contracts.
- Keep the node, coverage, and calibration log audit-clean.
Required Qualifications
- Field network, RF, or instrumentation-engineering experience.
- Working knowledge of mesh networks, sensors, and power systems.
- Disciplined calibration and coverage hygiene.
- Comfort with field deployment across sites.
Preferred Qualifications
- IoT or sensor-network background at scale.
- Edge-compute and streaming-telemetry experience.
- Familiarity with the Synaptic Data Fabric pipeline.
