Mobile Mission Engineer

Somewear’s software platform and satellite-powered hardware enable commercial and government teams to maintain situational awareness during high-pressure operations — in any environment. Somewear serves a wide range of customers including helicopter paramedics, backcountry explorers, firefighters, and operators within the US Department of Defense. Our purpose is to build best-in-class solutions that keep people in touch, informed, and safe anywhere in the world.

We're looking for a Mobile Mission Engineer to join the Somewear team! This is a unique role that is truly one of one.

You will help develop a platform that saves lives!

As a Somewear engineer, you’ll be working with and learning about a wide range of technology including our custom hardware, satellite tech, mesh networking, Bluetooth, sensors, 3rd party integrations and cloud services. Expect lots of interesting challenges.

Join us to make an impact

"Recently, the United States Air National Guard 131st Rescue Squadron successfully employed Somewear’s unique ATAK integration to coordinate and monitor a civilian rescue operation 1,200 miles off the U.S. Pacific coast. The consistent communications and situational awareness across rescue personnel, medical personnel, aircrafts, and the operations center led to an efficient rescue mission that took half of the expected time to complete."
