About the Opportunity

Mendaera is looking for a Senior Technical Support Engineer to be the first point of contact for technical support across our customer accounts and clinical sales team. You will own frontline issue intake, triage, and resolution for systems in the field; partner with Engineering to drive serviceability into the product; and help build the service function itself - tooling, knowledge base, escalation paths, and metrics. Reports to the Sr. Director of Operations. On-site.

Salary Range: $105,000 - $145,000 (hourly position)

About You

We are looking for self-directed problem solvers with strong electromechanical and systems troubleshooting skills who are energized by being the person a customer or sales rep calls first, communicate calmly with clinical audiences under time pressure, translate messy field symptoms into failure data Engineering can act on, and would rather build a support process than inherit one.

Responsibilities:

Frontline technical support (customers & clinical sales team)

First point of contact for technical issues raised by customers and clinical sales representatives; own each case from intake through resolution or escalation
Remotely diagnose and resolve system issues with the robot, consumables, cart and software using phone, video, system logs, and error codes
Triage and prioritize with clear step-by-step guidance for non-engineering users, and log every interaction in the ticketing/CRM system with accurate symptom, root-cause, and resolution detail
Recognize potential product feedback/complaints and escalate to Quality/Regulatory within the timeframes required by company procedures
Perform on-site service visits when issues cannot be resolved remotely, and support the sales team during demos, evaluations, and installations

Serviceability & partnership with Engineering

Act as the voice of the field inside Engineering: analyze support case and field failure trends and translate them into prioritized serviceability and reliability improvements
Partner on design-for-serviceability reviews covering diagnostics, error codes and log content, modularity, field-replaceable units, and tool access
Define service requirements, acceptance criteria, and field-service test methods for new product introductions, and confirm documentation, tooling, and spare parts are ready before release
Support root-cause investigations, CAPA, and engineering change orders (ECOs) with field data and returned-unit analysis

Building out the service capability

Establish and mature core support infrastructure - ticket intake and triage workflow, escalation tiers, response and resolution targets, and coverage model
Build the technical knowledge base and maintain work instructions, service manuals, and troubleshooting guides under document control; deliver technical training for clinical sales, field personnel, and future support hires
Define and report service KPIs (first-contact resolution, time to resolution, escalation rate, top failure modes) and use them to drive improvement

Commercial Demo & service fleet support

Build, configure, and commercial demo units to functional and cosmetic standards, executing verification protocols and documenting results per quality requirements
Perform preventive maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting on units returned from the field, including decontamination and inspection per established safety procedures
Track fleet condition, configuration, and service history and maintain configuration control - verify units reflect current hardware, firmware, and software revisions and implement changes across the fleet
