Responsibilities:

• Perform advanced diagnostics and repairs of robots, addressing complex mechanical, electrical, and software issues both at customer locations and in the workshop.
• Execute remanufacturing and refurbishment of robotic assemblies, ensuring components are restored to optimal performance.
• Provide support to service technicians in the field, offering guidance on difficult technical issues and performing escalation repairs as needed.
• Collaborate with the service engineering team to provide feedback on recurring issues and recommend design improvements for better serviceability.
• Communicate effectively with customers, explaining technical repairs and maintenance in a clear and understandable manner, while ensuring a high level of customer satisfaction.
• Document all service activities, including complex repairs, parts usage, and remanufacturing procedures, ensuring clear and detailed records for future reference.
• Contribute to the development of service documentation, repair manuals, and troubleshooting guides.
• Maintain tools and equipment in the workshop, ensuring they are calibrated, well-maintained, and ready for use on advanced repair tasks.
  

Requirements

Must-Haves:

• Extensive hands-on experience in mechanical, electrical, or electronic repair work, particularly in a robotics or technical environment.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, with the ability to diagnose and fix advanced technical issues.
• Proficiency in using diagnostic tools, repair equipment, and software applications to support complex repairs and assembly remanufacturing.
• Ability to manage time effectively, prioritize tasks, and work independently on advanced technical repairs.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to both customers and colleagues.
• Willingness to travel occasionally for on-site escalated repairs.
• A valid driving license.
• Willingness to work shifts.
