  • Support live demos and evaluation periods in hospitals comparing robotic platforms
  • Prepare systems, attend procedures and provide technical reassurance to new users
  • Occasionally support national and regional congresses and workshops
• Collaboration and reporting
  • Work closely with clinical specialists, sales and engineering coordination to plan coverage
  • Provide structured feedback on product performance, user insights and recurring technical challenges
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of installation and service processes

Profile and requirements

• Native or fluent Spanish and a good level of English for manufacturer training and internal communication
