Embedded deployment

Forward Deployed Engineer

An engineer deployed on-site with you, working on your real data. Not a report delivered remotely.

Where the term comes from

Popularised by Palantir, now rising fast across AI. The engineer works embedded, in direct contact with the business.

Two models

FDE or a traditional engagement?

Traditional

FDE

On-site, real data, a system that actually works.
