• Knowledge Sharing: Serve as the internal hardware expert, gathering technical insights and sharing knowledge to elevate the overall competency of the Customer Support team.
• Technical Writing: Author and maintain comprehensive, easy-to-understand technical articles for both our customer-facing knowledge base and internal documentation.
• Service & Parts Logistics: Process and enter customer spare parts orders into the system, track them to ensure timely resolutions, and oversee the progress of drone repairs and maintenance performed at HQ.

Your profile:

• 3–5 years in a technical support, field technician, or related troubleshooting role.
• Degree in Electronics, Automation, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a closely related technical field.
• You must be able to understand how different systems interact together, from hardware to software to post processing. Understanding of UAV operations and computer systems are a strong asset.
