• Conduct preventative maintenance audits, minor repairs, retrofits, and recalls on deployed AMRs.

• Deliver training to customer personnel on system operations, maintenance, and best practices.

• Coordinate with Technical Support, Field Services, and Systems Engineering team members to resolve customer issues and convey field feedback.

• Manage AMR fleet status, help track repairs, and support documentation updates.
