PRIMARY PURPOSE OF JOB AND CONTRIBUTION TO ORGANIZATION:

We are seeking a highly motivated and technically skilled Field Service & Product Support Technician to support a growing installed base of advanced automation and material handling solutions throughout the United States. This is not a traditional field service role. While the position includes equipment installation, commissioning, troubleshooting, and customer support, it also plays an important role in supporting emerging technologies that incorporate software-driven functionality, system configuration, and customer application development. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable working with mechanical and electrical systems, software-based platforms, production environments, and customer-facing demonstrations. This individual will serve as a key liaison between customers, service, sales, and our international product development teams to ensure successful deployment and long-term support of innovative automation solutions. Because this position will also support our demonstration facility in Hiram, GA, candidates with manufacturing, operations, or production experience are strongly encouraged to apply.

• Serve as a subject matter resource for software-enabled product functionality.

Product Support & Product Champion Responsibilities

• Act as the primary service-side product champion for assigned technologies.
• Develop a deep understanding of product capabilities, applications, limitations, and best practices.
• Collaborate with headquarters and R&D teams to support new product introductions, enhancements, and field implementation strategies.
• Gather customer requirements, application feedback, and market insights to support ongoing product development.
