About the role
About Cerrion
At Cerrion, we are building the future of AI-enabled manufacturing. Headquartered in Zurich and backed by Y Combinator and top Silicon Valley investors, we deploy video AI Agents that see what is happening on production floors, spot problems automatically, and intervene in real time to keep production running smoothly at global scale. Our technology is live in factories across 15+ countries, helping leading manufacturers in glass, beverage, food, CPG, building materials, and wood cut downtime by up to 50%. We are at an inflection point and scaling fast.
Role Summary
We are hiring a Field Deployment Engineer to own the physical installation and technical setup of Cerrion systems at customer factories across Europe. You will take over once a deal is closed, plan and drive the installation with the customer, and ensure all hardware is correctly installed and integrated so the project can be handed over to Customer Success for proof-of-value execution. In the near term you will execute installations yourself. As Cerrion scales, you will grow into managing subcontractors and field teams, owning the full installation lifecycle end-to-end.
This is an individual contributor role with high ownership, significant customer exposure, and at least 50% travel , primarily across DACH. This role is not a desk job. If you are most comfortable on a factory floor or in a server room rather than in a meeting room, this is the right environment for you.
What a Typical Deployment Looks Like
Cerrion deployments combine a server and a network of up to 80 IP cameras per plan. Optional components include connectivity modules such as SIM routers or Starlink, loudspeakers, and PLC interfaces with production machines.
Deployments typically involve:
-
Pre-installation: Remote planning with the customer: aligning on timelines, site access, IT requirements, cable routes, mounting constraints, and responsibilities. In-person site surveys may be beneficial to improve the accuracy of installation planning.
