We're seeking a Technical Support Engineer I who thrives on solving complex, hands-on technical challenges. This contact center position focuses on system-level problem-solving, applying mechanical, electrical expertise to diagnose issues, and requires basic networking experience to resolve issues within IPA's automated healthcare technology — distinct from traditional IT support or engineering roles. The ideal candidate is an investigator at heart: analytical, mechanically curious, and relentless about uncovering true root causes — more than just patching symptoms. Comfortable working in a contact center environment. They bring a solid foundation in electromechanical systems pairing technical expertise with calm, confident communication that reassures customers in critical moments. What You'll Do
- Perform remote diagnostics on electromechanical, PLC-controlled, and motor-driven systems used in hospital environments.
- Analyze failures in motors, sensors, actuators, relays, and control systems, and utilize single-board computers (e.g., Raspberry Pi) for diagnostics and data capture using schematics, wiring diagrams, and PLC logic.
- Guide field technicians and hospital staff through systematic troubleshooting and electrical or connectivity testing procedures.
- Execute/document root cause analysis for recurring or complex equipment failures under guidance.
- Work cross-functionally with peers and internal teams to ensure effective communication and resolution of customer issues.
- Document findings and create troubleshooting guides, and knowledgebase articles in CRM systems to prevent repeat issues and improve service workflows.
- Serve as the primary technical contact for hospitals and service partners, providing calm, expert guidance during critical situations.
- Participate in an on-call rotation (including evenings and weekends) to ensure 24/7 system reliability and customer support. What You Bring
- Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Industrial Technology (or equivalent technical experience).
- 2-4 years of experience troubleshooting industrial, electromechanical, or automation systems.
- Exposure to Raspberry Pi or embedded Linux for diagnostics preferred.
- Hands-on experience with motors, motor controllers, sensors, relays, control circuits, and system networking connectivity.
- Familiarity with PLC systems and ability to interpret ladder logic preferred.
- Experience working in a customer-facing or contact center environment providing technical or product support.
- Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and mechanical drawings, and proficiency using diagnostic tools such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, and continuity testers.
- Understanding of basic networking concepts related to equipment communication (IP addressing, connectivity troubleshooting, device configuration).
- Str.
