  • Integrate and test new product features to ensure they're demo-ready, partnering closely with the Engineering teams.
  • Customize demos to highlight customer-specific use cases, working alongside the Sales and Product teams.
  • Support demo logistics, including setup, teardown, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
  • Create and maintain documentation on demo setups, feature configurations, and demo scripts.
  • Gather feedback during and after demos to inform product roadmap decisions and improve demo effectiveness.
  • Act as a technical expert during customer interactions, helping explain complex functionality in simple, clear terms.

Who You Are

  • Bachelor's degree in Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field-or equivalent experience.

  • Comfort working directly with mechanical systems, sensors, and robotic programming frameworks.
  • Strong communication skills-you enjoy translating technical concepts for non-technical audiences.
  • A builder's mindset-you love tinkering, iterating, and solving new technical puzzles.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment with evolving priorities.
  • Experience with demo environments, prototyping, or customer-facing engineering roles is a plus.
  • Familiarity with ROS, PLCs, Python, C++, industrial robotics is a bonus.
