As a Tier 2 Technical Support Engineer, you will be at the intersection of cutting-edge hardware and enterprise software, delivering advanced support to our customers and empowering our Tier 1 support team.

You will own complex cases from initial escalation through complete resolution, travel to customer sites to implement and train on our asset management and inspection software solutions, and serve as a trusted technical advisor to some of our most valued customers. Beyond direct customer engagement, this role sits at a unique crossroads within the organization. You will work closely with Product Management, Sales, and R&D teams — bringing real-world field insights back into the business, informing product development, and partnering with sales to ensure customers are set up for success from day one.

What You’ll Bring We’re looking for a seasoned professional who combines technical depth with strong interpersonal skills and a customer-first mindset. Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field; equivalent professional experience in lieu of degree will be considered. 5 or more years of experience in a technical support or field support engineering role, preferably within an industrial or instrumentation-focused environment. Demonstrated experience supporting hardware products and enterprise software solutions in customer-facing settings. Proven ability to independently troubleshoot complex hardware and software issues, with excellent diagnostic reasoning and problem-solving skills. Experience with software implementation, configuration, and end-user training in industrial or enterprise environments. Strong verbal and written communication skills in English; ability to convey complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Who We Are — Our Team & Culture Our global Technical Support team is made up of highly qualified, passionate individuals who are deeply committed to customer success. We’re a collaborative group that takes quality seriously and holds ourselves to a high standard — but we also genuinely enjoy the work and each other.

We believe the best support comes from people who are curious, engaged, and care about doing things right. You’ll join a team that values your expertise, invests in your development, and trusts you to bring your best every day.
