About the Role
We are hiring a hands-on, customer-savvy Field Engineer to be the ambassador of our technology in the field. This role is the critical link between our Caron Engineering solutions (TMAC, DTect-IT, ToolConnect, and more) and OnTakt software, and the customers who rely on them. You will own the end-to-end integration process — every installation functional, documented, and aligned to the customer's specifications. When you're not on the road, you're in our own shop, helping implement, maintain, and troubleshoot the same manufacturing technologies internally. This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports.

- Create detailed backups of ladder logic, system configurations, wiring diagrams, and programs
- Compile photos and notes from the installation

- Respond to customer inquiries and issues promptly and effectively
- Document and track customer support activities in Jira
- Maintain accurate records of support interactions for troubleshooting and quality improvement
- Assist in the implementation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of manufacturing technologies used within our own facility
- Provide internal training sessions and documentation for staff utilizing these systems
- Identify and recommend improvements to enhance the effectiveness of internal manufacturing technologies
- Keep an eye on the Support Channel
- Identify and work toward improving our preparation and execution processes and environment
