From Flow Engineering's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Flow Engineering is an AI-native requirements platform for modern engineering organizations, enabling hardware teams to collaborate with AI agents to design, validate, and evolve complex systems with speed and rigor.
Flow is seeking a Head of Forward Deployed Engineering to lead the team that turns signed customers into deeply embedded, growing accounts. Our customers are systems and engineering leaders at aerospace, defense, automotive, and hardware companies, and the value they get from Flow depends on how well it connects to their existing tools and how quickly their teams adopt AI-driven workflows. You will own that outcome.
This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and revenue. Sales engineers own the technical win before a deal closes. You and your team own everything after: integrating Flow into each customer's engineering stack, building AI workflows around their real processes, driving usage across teams, and expanding accounts into new programs, sites, and business units.
7+ years in forward deployed engineering, solutions engineering, software engineering, or a technical customer-facing role, with 2+ years leading a team.
Strong technical foundation: you can build integrations, reason about APIs and data models, and understand how software fits into a complex engineering stack.
Hands-on experience building with LLMs or deploying AI-driven workflows in production for customers.
A track record of driving adoption and expanding accounts, not just delivering projects.
Comfortable operating across a customer organization, from individual engineers up to VPs and program leads.
Able to build a function from an early stage, balancing hands-on execution with setting structure for a growing team.
Comfortable in a fast-moving environment where the product, the customer base, and the team are all scaling quickly.
Nice to have
Familiarity with requirements, systems engineering, PLM, or ALM tooling (Jama, DOORS, etc.)
Background in or working with defense, aerospace, or regulated hardware environments.
Experience with security and compliance requirements common in these industries (ITAR, CMMC, on-prem or restricted deployments).
