• Support the R&D team with equipment upgrades, software version updates, and onsite validation.

4. Technical Communication & Issue Resolution

• Serve as the technical interface between European customers/field teams and the China R&D team, accurately collecting, analyzing, and communicating field technical issues.
• Translate customer‑site issues into clear technical requirements, problem descriptions, and improvement recommendations.
• Collaborate with software, hardware, R&D, and product teams in China to follow technical issues through to closure.
• Conduct root cause analysis of recurring or systemic issues and recommend product or process improvements.

5. Technical Documentation & Compliance

• Perform technical activities in accordance with the company’s software development, quality management, and medical device‑related procedures.
• Prepare and maintain installation records, maintenance records, failure analysis reports, test reports, technical documentation, and customer service records.
• Support product upgrades, CAPA activities, complaint investigations, and other quality‑system‑related technical activities.

6. Customer Training & European Regional Support

• Provide equipment operation, basic maintenance, and troubleshooting training to customers, distributors, and internal teams as required.
