• Provide on-site and remote technical support to end customers, diagnosing and resolving mechanical, electrical, and software issues.
• Perform system checks, preventative maintenance, and repairs as needed.
• Conduct operator and maintenance training for customer personnel as part of service engagements.
• Carry out FAT and SAT processes at customer and integrator sites.

Pre-Sales & Application Support

• Work alongside the sales team as a technical resource during customer visits, needs assessments, and solution reviews.
