• Serve as the primary on-site representative and technical lead during deployments and customer go-lives.
• Coordinate deployment activities, communicate project status, and work closely with engineering and support teams to resolve issues.
• Troubleshoot system, hardware, software, and networking problems in the field.
• Document, track, and elevate issues while ensuring timely resolution.
• Verify system performance and support customer acceptance testing (SAT) and training.
• Perform preventative maintenance, upgrades, and ongoing customer support.
• Travel extensively to customer sites nationwide (75–100% travel).

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Supply Chain, or a related technical field.
• Experience working with industrial robots, automation systems, or related technologies.
• Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic skills across mechanical, electrical, software, and networking systems.
• Comfortable working in Linux environments.
• Excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving abilities.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, customer-facing environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with warehouse or factory automation systems.
• Exposure to PLCs, CAD software, robot programming, or controls engineering.
• Familiarity with Python, REST APIs, or technical documentation.
• Hands-on experience with FANUC, Yaskawa, or similar articulated robotic platforms.
