  • Identify recurring issues and partner with engineering teams to reduce repeat incidents and improve system stability.
  • Support system, software, and network updates, including validation activities to help ensure successful deployment with minimal operational impact.
  • Analyze system and incident data to identify trends, support troubleshooting, and improve visibility into system performance.
  • Develop and maintain dashboards, reports, runbooks, technical documentation, and training materials.
  • Create scripts, tools, or process improvements that help streamline triage, incident response, reporting, and support workflows.
  • Incorporate customer and site feedback to help identify product, process, and operational improvement opportunities.
  • Share knowledge with team members and support onboarding through documentation, training, and peer collaboration.
  • Participate in a 10x7 operational support model, including an on-call rotation for escalations and critical issues.
  • Work on-site in MA to support system troubleshooting, cross-functional collaboration, and operational readiness.

What You’ll Need

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
  • Minimum 2+ years of experience in technical support, NOC operations, systems engineering, site reliability, or a similar operational support environment.
  • Strong technical troubleshooting, problem-solving, and analytical skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Experience supporting production systems, including incident response, escalation management, root cause analysis, and operational documentation.
  • Familiarity with automation, controls, or material handling systems, including PLCs, VFDs, motion control, or servo tuning; Allen-Bradley ControlLogix experience preferred.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to document issues, resolutions, runbooks, and technical processes.
  • Willingness to participate in a 10x7 operational support model (Wednesday through Saturday), including an on-call rotation for escalations and critical issues.
  • Ability to work a hybrid schedule, with two days per week on-site at our Wilmington headquarters and two days remote.

Our Environment
