• Strong technical aptitude and ability to work efficiently with engineering and product teams
• Experience supporting complex hardware, software, or tech products
• Strong operational skills with the ability to turn recurring problems into structured processes
• Experience working in an international environment
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English (additional languages are a plus)
• Located in Europe and willing to travel regularly for customer, field site, and team syncs (up to 30–40% travel, adhering to standard economy travel policies)

Strong Assets

• Familiarity with robotic total stations, GNSS, or other surveying equipment
• Understanding of CAD/BIM workflows and tools such as Revit or AutoCAD

• Establish baseline service and performance metrics
• Clarify interfaces with engineering, product, and customer success
