Beyond resolving cases, you will help strengthen the broader support organization by improving troubleshooting practices, sharing technical knowledge, supporting training, and influencing service documentation and processes.

What will you do?

• Serve as an advanced technical resource for mission-critical liquid cooling systems.
• Take ownership of complex technical issues and escalations requiring deeper troubleshooting and product knowledge.
• Support customers, Core Technical Support, and Field Service personnel with advanced diagnostics and issue resolution.
• Analyze alarms, operating data, electrical schematics, system performance, case history, and technical documentation to identify root causes and corrective actions.

• Participate in occasional customer site or company facility visits for product exposure, training, technical observation, or complex issue support when appropriate.
• Participate in a 24/7/365 on-call rotation to provide advanced after-hours technical support when scheduled.

• Advanced troubleshooting skills and a methodical approach to complex problems.
• The ability to look beyond an alarm or symptom and work toward the underlying root cause.
• Strong knowledge of electrical and electro-mechanical systems, including single-phase and three-phase power.
• The ability to confidently read and interpret electrical schematics, technical drawings, sequences of operation, and technical specifications.
• Familiarity with pumps, heat exchangers, controls, sensors, valves, actuators, and fluid systems.
• The ability to troubleshoot remotely by asking the right technical questions and turning field information into an effective troubleshooting path.
• Strong technical judgment, including when to involve Engineering, Quality, or other specialized resources.
• Strong written, email, and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to customers and technicians with different experience levels.
• Strong documentation and case-management habits, with the ability to work extensively in a Case Management/CRM system, manage multiple priorities, and maintain ownership through resolution.
• The ability to work independently in a remote environment while collaborating closely across technical teams.
• Availability to participate in a 24/7/365 on-call rotation, including nights, weekends, and holidays when scheduled.
