Job description

Your Week as a Software Service Engineer

No two weeks are the same as a Software Service Engineer at LAN. One week you are supporting customers remotely from the office, while the next you are travelling to a customer site to perform a software upgrade or resolve a complex system issue.

Your week often starts by reviewing incoming service requests. A customer in France may have a question about a software modification, while a system in the United States has experienced a malfunction. You log in remotely, analyse the situation, and ensure the production line is back up and running as quickly as possible. As the first point of contact for software-related issues, customers know they can always rely on you.

In addition, you work on software upgrades and enhancements for existing LAN installations. You develop and test software modifications, coordinate with Engineering colleagues, and ensure changes are implemented smoothly without causing unnecessary downtime for the customer.

Throughout the week, you deliver training sessions to operators, maintenance technicians, and service partners. You help users get the most out of our systems and ensure they can work independently and efficiently with the software.

A significant part of your working week is spent at customer sites. You inspect installations, implement software optimisations, and support local service partners in carrying out their work. When things do not go according to plan, you respond quickly, make decisions, and find the right solution. At the same time, you identify opportunities to further improve installations. You discuss recommendations with customers and share your findings with the Service and Engineering teams.

No two weeks are the same. One week you are focused on remote support and software improvements from the office, while the next you are travelling to customer sites anywhere in the world to optimise installations. It is this combination of technology, freedom, travel, and customer interaction that makes the role so rewarding and challenging.
