About Aigent Energy

AGent is building the leading software platform to optimize distributed generation resources — turning energy liabilities into reliable, monetizable assets. We bring AI to the aggregation, orchestration, and monetization of distributed generation in wholesale and retail power markets, delivering meaningful reliability, economic, and sustainability benefits to commercial, institutional, and industrial energy users, utilities, and grid operators.

We move fast, think big, and operate with a lean, high-trust team. Every hire matters here.

About the role

AGent has an immediate opening for a world-class Senior Field Engineer who is passionate about hardware, energy markets, and what customers need to succeed. You are intellectually curious, detail-oriented, and solution-focused. You are someone who thrives in a fast-paced, customer-centric technical environment where no two projects look exactly alike.

The objective of this role is to ensure every generator we onboard is set up with the correct hardware and software to become a reliable, revenue-generating asset. You will serve as the project manager for all hardware onboarding and upgrade projects. You will work across AGent's internal teams, customers, third-party contractors, and utilities to ensure strong communication among all stakeholders and on-time project completion.

This is primarily a project management and technical oversight role, but you should be comfortable getting hands-on with installations when the situation calls for it. More importantly, this is a ground-floor opportunity: you will help build the protocols, systems and contractor network to help the team scale field operations faster every year.

Responsibilities

• Own relationships with critical utility members and build the trusted contractor network AGent relies on in the field

Hardware Operations & Alerting

• Ensure customer generators remain connected, maintained, and healthy after onboarding. Our objective is to have a portfolio of reliable assets that perform when markets call
• Build an alert system with the engineering team to proactively surface hardware or connectivity issues before they affect performance
• Support the hardware alerting protocol including repair cases, troubleshooting workflows, and resolution tracking

Cross-Functional Partnership & Scaling
