Your mission
We are seeking a Field Support Engineer who possesses the "Return-to-Service" mentality found in elite manufacturing company field representatives. You will be the technical cornerstone of our Austin operations.
This role requires a rare duality: You must have the urgency and resourcefulness to fix a machine when parts and time are scarce, but the discipline and clarity to document that fix so our engineering team in Germany can learn from it. You are not just a repair technician; you are a forensic investigator.

This role requires a rare duality: You must have the urgency and resourcefulness to fix a machine when parts and time are scarce, but the discipline and clarity to document that fix so our engineering team in Germany can learn from it. You are not just a repair technician; you are a forensic investigator.
Key responsibilities:
- Rapid Triage & Resolution: Execute high-pressure diagnostics on complex electromechanical and IT systems. Your goal is immediate operational continuity. You don’t panic; you figure it out.
- Forensic Documentation (The Feedback Loop): This is as critical as the repair itself. You must translate chaotic, real-world failure modes into structured, high-fidelity engineering reports. You are the eyes and ears for the Hamburg R&D team; if you don't document the "why" and "how" of a failure, we cannot improve the machine.
- The "MacGyver" Factor: When standard procedures fail, you use engineering first principles to improvise safe, effective solutions to keep production moving while long-term fixes are developed.
- Global Interface: Act as the primary technical bridge between Austin operations and German engineering. You will lead technical alignment meetings and must be able to explain complex physical phenomena clearly to remote teams.
- Preventative Instincts: Maintain high situational awareness of the fleet. Like a flight engineer, you anticipate failures before they happen through rigorous observation and proactive maintenance.
