Role Description
We're looking for a Technical Support Specialist who's genuinely excited about robotics and driven by the satisfaction of solving hard problems for customers. This is a customer-facing role at the intersection of hardware, software, and real-world industrial operations — which means no two days look alike. You'll be the first line of defense when customers run into trouble deploying or operating their Standard Bots robots.
- Provide technical support to customers via phone, email, video calls, and ticketing systems — diagnosing and resolving issues with Standard Bots robots
- Guide customers through troubleshooting processes, configuration adjustments, and best practices for robot deployment and operation
- Collaborate with engineering, product, and field service teams to escalate complex issues and ensure timely resolution
- Document technical issues, solutions, and customer interactions in our CRM system (HubSpot or similar)
- Create and maintain knowledge base articles, FAQs, and troubleshooting guides to improve customer self-service
- Identify patterns in support requests and surface actionable feedback to product and engineering teams for continuous improvement
- Own ticket management processes and proactively recommend improvements where inefficiencies exist
- Meet or exceed support KPIs including response time, resolution time, and customer satisfaction
Qualifications
- Hold an Associate degree or higher in engineering, computer science, robotics, mechatronics, or a related technical field
- Have 2–4 years of experience in technical support, field service, or a related role in robotics, automation, or technology
- Have proven troubleshooting skills with mechanical, electrical, or software systems
- Bring a strong understanding of industrial automation concepts, manufacturing processes, or robotics fundamentals
- Can explain complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences — in writing and in conversation
- Approach every customer interaction with patience, empathy, and a genuine desire to help
- Are highly organized and able to manage multiple open support tickets simultaneously without dropping the ball
- Are self-motivated and resourceful — you find ways to learn what you don't know rather than waiting to be taught
- Are comfortable with ambiguity and can adapt quickly in a startup environment where priorities shift
- Are willing to travel occasionally (up to 25%) for training, customer support visits, or team events
Requirements
- Bonus points if you have experience with collaborative robots (cobots) or industrial robot programming
- Are familiar with machine vision, sensors, or end effectors
- Have a working understanding of networking, protocols, and device connectivity
Nice to have
- Know your way around Python, C++, ROS, or similar languages and have experience with Linux/Ubuntu operating systems
Benefits
- The salary range for this role is $80,000 to $120,000, depending on experience
- We are open to a variety of seniority levels for this role and will build compensation packages that are commensurate with seniority and skill level
- Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots
- All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options
- We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees
