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.

Safety & Compliance

• Safety is a core responsibility of this role. The successful candidate will actively promote safe work practices while supporting customers, operating demonstration equipment, and performing field service activities. This includes following company and customer safety requirements, identifying and mitigating potential hazards, supporting safe equipment operation, and serving as a positive safety role model in both customer facilities and the Hiram demonstration center.
