Field Service Representative

Marathon Targets designs, manufactures, and operates autonomous robotic target systems to provide the most realistic live fire training in the world. The targets address a fundamental training gap: the first time shooters fire live ammunition at a realistic moving target is in a firefight.

The role involves operating and maintaining the robotic targets in support of training.

Primary tasks include:

• Setup in preparation for training:
  • Discussing training with instructors, translating trainers’ intent into software scenarios which the robots can execute.
  • Moving targets to the training location.
  • Range setup: setting up communications equipment, surveying the range, clearing robot running areas of large debris.
• Operation of the robots during training:
  • Running the targets and monitoring their state through the robot-control software.
  • Adapting the targets’ behaviour on-the-spot according to progress of trainees and real-time directions from instructors.
• Post-training activities:
• Target maintenance and charging.
• Reporting on training activities and target usage.
• Liaising with Marathon head office to facilitate improvements based on actual usage.
• Other:
  • Educating military personnel on the targets’ capabilities and limitations.

Prior Experience

This role does not require any specific technical expertise, however a technical mindset and the ability to troubleshoot is essential.

We will provide training in the particulars of operation/maintenance of the system.

Desired Skills

The following skills/attributes are desirable:

• Prior service within the US DoD.
• Confidence operating computers.
• A high mechanical aptitude and some basic experience with electrical debugging.
• Ability to work in the field and a willingness to get hands dirty. Must be physically able to move around on large training ranges for long durations.
• Excellent inter-personal skills.
• High motivation — a go getter!
• Ability to work effectively without supervision.
• Ability to deal with uncertainty and changing plans.
• A willingness to occasionally work long hours and at night.
• Holder of a valid driver’s license.
• Ability to travel interstate.

Training

The chosen candidate will undergo hands-on training alongside a Marathon Field Service Representative. Once the candidate is deemed competent, they will begin to run operations independently.

Terms

The positions will be full time.

We are a growing company which is changing the way people train. We are looking for someone with enthusiasm and initiative to be part of the team.
