AMP Robotics is hiring a Field Service Technician reporting to the Manager of Field Services to focus on virtual and on-site assistance of our recycling partners as they work to keep AMP products operating at peak performance 24/7.  You will be tasked with creating and maintaining customer facing service documentation, coaching recycling partners via multiple communication paths on how to maintain and troubleshoot AMP equipment (phone, email, text, ticket systems), visiting recycling facilities to perform hardware/electrical maintenance, propagating software change information to customers, collecting customer feedback on the performance of AMP products, maintaining positive customer relationships, and proactively monitoring systems – seeing issues before they occur and looking for opportunities of customer engagement.

In a nutshell, you will be the first touch point for AMP customers who have questions about AMP products or require AMP service assistance.  This position can expect up to 60% travel and requires some on-call work in order to help customers install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair equipment. 

As our Field Service Technician, in the first few months you will work to:

  • Learn to use AMP’s cutting edge, proactive maintenance tools to diagnose system issues.

  • Field incoming service tickets as the first point of communication with AMP’s recycling partners, expertly triaging and prioritizing needs.
  • Meet with internal AMP resources - experts in the field of machine learning, software development, and recycling economics - gaining an understanding of AMP’s capabilities and how they align with customer needs.

In the longer term, you will:

  • Participate in both internal and external customer success conversations as the voice of advocacy for our customer.
  • Work with Customer Performance and Site Reliability Engineers to identify areas of high customer risk and create mitigation plans.
  • Close the engineering feedback loop by systematically reporting unique, high-frequency service requests, performance concerns, or hardware failures.
  • Guide the transition process from installation to service through seamless technical communication with internal teams and take-over-certificate review.
  • Consolidate and maintain AMP service documentation (including videos, podcasts, interpretive dances, etc.) into an internal and external knowledge base - becoming a super-librarian for a greener planet.
  • Train customers on how to perform common repair work, complete required maintenance, and self diagnose or resolve system issues.
  • Provide remote troubleshooting as well as onsite repairs at customer locations.
  • Complete trip reports and site visit summaries.
  • Track work hours via AMP systems to ensure accurate billable hours. 
  • Evaluate product concerns against specifications and warranty coverage.
  • Process customer warranty claims via Salesforce.com.
  • Train and mentor new members of the Service team.
