Key job responsibilities
- Service Restoration: Deep-dive into and resolve technical issues via our in-house ticketing system. Utilize various data sources and logs to identify hardware or software faults within the Amazon Robotics environment, including addressing robotics performance issues, server issues affecting robot navigation, and robotic station malfunctions.
- Collaboration: Collaborate with on-site robotics technicians and engineers, guiding their troubleshooting efforts, and partner with software development engineers who create the code that powers the robots, ensuring seamless integration and functionality across all systems.
- High Severity Calls: When critical issues affecting the customer experience occur, you will be directly involved, participating in live troubleshooting sessions via conference bridge, coordinating resolution efforts, and escalating as needed. Utilizing various data sources such as logs, dashboards, and data dumps, you will identify problematic components within the robotics infrastructure and develop mitigation plans.
- Process Improvement and Automation: Contribute to the continual improvement of our processes and procedures, participate in internal projects, and help make things better for our team and, in turn, our customers.
About the team
We are Amazon’s premier Robotics problem solvers. We are a global team of robotic system specialists in the US and EU, looking to extend our 24/7 coverage by building our team in Australia. We provide remote technical support via tickets, phone, and chat mediums. We have a thorough internal training program and will provide onsite and remote mentors, as well as training at customer sites.
Please note that as part of this role you will be expected to work a 5-day work week, one day of which will be over the weekend to ensure critical 24-hour global support coverage.
