What You’ll Do

• Own and solve complex Tier 3 escalations involving industrial communication protocols such as RS‑485 and Modbus (RTU/TCP), Profibus etc.
• Help with the design, implement, and support communication flows between PLCs, SCADA systems, sensors, and gateways
• Integrate industrial communication layers into higher‑level automation and monitoring system
• Work side‑by‑side with Service Technicians, Support Engineers, Project Managers, and domain experts
• Be the voice of the customer, turning real‑world issues into actionable feedback for product and engineering teams
• Take ownership of SLA commitments and help ensure we consistently exceed customer expectations
• Create clear documentation, playbooks, and internal tooling to help the entire support organization scale
• Mentor Tier 1 and Tier 2 engineers and raise the technical bar across the team
