• Support deployments across multiple production lines, stations, and plants.

Technical Support & Problem Resolution

• Investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve technical issues in customer environments, including edge devices, gateways, cloud platforms, and AI models.
• Analyze logs, workflows, network paths, and configurations to identify root causes.
• Escalate critical issues to R&D with clear documentation and reproduction steps.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Work with Product Management and Engineering to validate new features, provide customer feedback, and test pre‑release builds.
• Contribute to internal knowledge bases, best-practice guides, and implementation playbooks.
• Enable partners, system integrators, and customer engineering teams through training and documentation.

Travel & Availability

• Travel approximately 40–60% or more, as needed, for customer implementations, proofs of concept, troubleshooting, and production support.
• Provide occasional after-hours or weekend support during critical cutovers or production events.

Requirements & Qualifications
