Role Responsibilities

• Deployment & Integration: Work directly with customers as well as internal teams to install, configure, and integrate Perceptyne's robotic systems into client’s environment and ensure smooth operation.
• Technical Support & Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve technical issues, both remotely and on‑site, minimizing downtime and optimizing performance.
• Customer Collaboration: Partner with clients to understand their operational needs and provide guidance on best practices for system utilization.
• Validation & Testing: Conduct system validation campaigns, software updates, and performance evaluations to ensure optimal functionality.
• Product Improvement: Provide feedback to internal engineering teams based on real‑world deployments, contributing to product enhancements.
• Documentation & Training: Develop technical documentation, troubleshooting guides, and user manuals while conducting customer training sessions.
• Cross‑Functional Coordination: Work closely with the engineering, product management, and customer success teams to ensure smooth execution of customer projects.

Skills and Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Robotics, Electrical Engineering (including Electronics, Communications or Instrumentation), Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Strong understanding of robotics systems, kinematics, dynamics, and motion planning.
• Experience in integrating and deploying robotic or embedded systems in real‑world environments at client locations.
• Hands‑on proficiency with Python, C/C++, and ROS (Robot Operating System).
• Excellent problem‑solving skills with the ability to work independently in a fast‑paced, customer‑facing role.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills to interact effectively with clients and internal teams.
• Willingness to travel up to 30-50% domestically and internationally.
• A proactive attitude with a strong sense of ownership and accountability
• Influencing and aligning cross functional teams towards specific goals
