The Role

We’re looking for a Field Service Engineer (IP / Networking) to join our team in Whiteley, Hampshire.

This is a customer-facing, hands-on role for someone who enjoys working with complex technical systems and wants to be involved across the full lifecycle from pre-sales support and demonstrations through to delivery and ongoing customer support.

You’ll split your time between working on-site with customers and supporting activities in the office, including system setup, troubleshooting, and technical support. Travel is a key part of the role, typically up to two weeks per month across the UK, Europe, and occasionally further afield.

You’ll be responsible for:

· Providing pre- and post-sales technical support to customers and internal teams

· Supporting system design and configuration across IP networking, RF, and video technologies

· Delivering product demonstrations, installations, and customer training

· Troubleshooting and resolving technical issues remotely and on-site

· Configuring and supporting IP-based systems (e.g. VLANs, multicast/unicast, RTSP)

· Supporting integration of wireless and communication systems into wider networks

· Producing technical documentation and contributing to continuous product improvement

· Working closely with Sales, Engineering, and Product teams to deliver tailored solutions

What We’re Looking For

Essential:

· Experience working with IP networking and network-based systems

· Understanding of networking fundamentals (e.g. VLANs, routing, multicast/unicast)

· Strong problem-solving skills with a structured approach to troubleshooting

· Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to a range of audiences

· Customer-facing mindset with strong interpersonal skills

· Willingness to travel regularly (UK, Europe, and occasionally worldwide)

Desirable:

· Experience in a field service, technical support, or pre-sales engineering role

· Background in defence, security, telecommunications, or similar environments

· Familiarity with RF or wireless communication systems

· Experience with video streaming/encoding technologies (e.g. H.264 / HEVC)

· Experience using network troubleshooting tools (e.g. Wireshark)

We’re open to candidates from a range of backgrounds, including those leaving the armed forces, as well as individuals with commercial experience in a similar role.

Why Join DTC

· Work with cutting-edge communication technology used in critical environments

· Be part of a collaborative, customer-focused engineering team

· Opportunity to work across a wide range of technologies and real-world applications

· International exposure through travel and customer engagement

· Ongoing development and training, including support to build RF domain knowledge

· Flexible working and competitive benefits
