Senior Technical Support Engineer

Job description

We are looking for self-directed problem solvers with strong electromechanical and systems troubleshooting skills who are energized by being the person a customer or sales rep calls first, communicate calmly with clinical audiences under time pressure, translate messy field symptoms into failure data Engineering can act on, and would rather build a support process than inherit one.

Mendaera is developing technology that will enable all healthcare providers to do more for their patients. Our platform combines real-time imaging, robotics, and artificial intelligence to make precise and consistent intervention more accessible.

  • Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex systems to the component or subassembly level using diagnostic tools and test equipment
  • Comfortable at the Linux command line - filesystem navigation, parsing system and application logs, diagnostic utilities, service and process management, and SSH/SCP
  • Ability to read technical drawings appropriate to your background: electrical schematics, wiring and block diagrams, and/or mechanical drawings, assembly views, and GD&T
  • Ability to work within a controlled quality system - released work instructions, good documentation practices, and calibrated test equipment - in a fast-paced startup environment
