• Experience working with industrial machinery, automation, processing equipment, material handling, or other equipment‑based technical environments.
• Experience interacting directly with customers in a technical capacity, whether through service, applications, sales, engineering, technical support, or a similar role.
• Strong analytical and structured problem‑solving skills, with the ability to understand a technical challenge and recommend an appropriate solution.
• Confidence communicating technical information and explaining solutions clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Ability to interpret operational data and equipment performance information.
• Professional working proficiency in Spanish and English.
• Ability and willingness to travel up to 30% across the EMEA region to work directly with customers and support demonstrations, field trials, and application projects.
