Field Operations Manager Edge AI Solutions Homestead, PA Full-Time About Us Edge AI is a team of accomplished researchers, engineers, operations, and business development professionals who have been instrumental in changing the landscape of Pittsburgh robotics, with a proven global impact for over two decades. We have tackled some of the hardest problems facing industries including transportation, construction, municipal maintenance, and safety. Our most popular product is a sewer inspection robot that provides video footage and other instrumental data within sewer and storm pipelines. We are committed to providing highly reliable, industry-leading solutions that solve real problems, improve productivity and efficiency, and challenge the way we think about the future. We are looking for highly skilled and incredibly motivated individuals with a thirst to tackle the toughest challenges. About the Role Edge AI is seeking a Field Operations Manager to own the customer experience from the first demonstration through ongoing support — and to make sure the rest of the company delivers on it.
This is a hands-on role:
you will personally run demonstrations, train customers, and provide support, while leading a small team. Just as importantly, this role carries real authority across the company. Within Production and Customer Support, the Field Operations Manager sets priorities and directs work to best serve customers — juggling competing demands and making the calls needed to keep customers successful, even though those teams do not report to you directly. With Engineering, the relationship is close but different: you work hand in hand with them, bringing the customer perspective and feedback that helps Engineering decide which development paths to pursue. This authority is earned. A newer manager will begin by learning the product, the customers, and the organization, and will grow into full cross-departmental decision-making authority as they demonstrate the judgment to wield it well. We are looking for someone with the drive and aptitude to get there. This is an on-site position based in Homestead, PA, reporting directly to company leadership. Roughly 50% of your time will be spent traveling to customers and prospects; the remainder is on-site, where much of your cross-functional coordination takes place between trips.
