About The Position

As the Deployment Support Technician, you will partner closely with Project Management, Systems Engineering, and Operations teams to deliver exceptional outcomes for end-users, channel partners, and OTTO. You play a critical role in supporting system deployments, go-live activities, post-deployment optimization, and long-term operational stability for complex AMR solutions. You will work directly within customer production environments, performing troubleshooting, system validation, issue resolution, and user support to ensure reliable and efficient operation of deployed systems. Your success requires a strong technical aptitude, a customer-first mindset, and the flexibility to support varying shifts, extended hours, nights, and weekends when customer operations demand it. We offer a unique opportunity to become a trusted advisor to some of OTTO's most strategic customers, working alongside industry-leading manufacturing and automation organizations. Your primary objective will be to create customer confidence by maximizing system uptime, resolving technical challenges, and helping customers realize the full value of their automation investment.

You are expected to regularly engage at customer facilities for deployments, go-lives, troubleshooting, and operational support activities. Travel to customer locations is considered part of the role, while routine support within your local area is expected as needed to meet customer and business requirements.
