Forward Deployed Engineer — Strategic Solutions, Integration

Verdigris Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) sit at the point where the platform meets the customer's electrical environment, and own turning that intersection into working technical outcomes — from first technical conversation through deployment, commissioning, and long-term account success.
