## Description

Planmeca is seeking a Technical Support Specialist who is just as comfortable navigating a circuit board with a multimeter as they are navigating Windows network settings.

You will primarily support customers and field technicians over the phone, guiding them through complex hardware repairs and network configurations. Additionally, you will spend hands-on time in our training and repair lab, doing QA and fixing returned units.

Our team operates on a rotational basis. You will alternate between dedicated troubleshooting shifts and our first-impression intake queue, where you will focus on rapid response, accurate case documentation, and initial triage before escalating or resolving the issue. We treat every team member as a full troubleshooter, meaning you need the technical depth to handle whatever comes your way., * Remote Hardware Diagnostics: Guide customers and technicians over the phone through step-by-step electromechanical troubleshooting, including using a multimeter to check voltages and diagnosing faulty physical components.

 * Software & Network Support: Troubleshoot software and connectivity issues across both Windows and Mac operating systems, including configuring IP addresses, resolving network communication errors, and managing basic NTFS folder permissions.
 * Hands-on Repair: Spend designated time working directly with hardware to QA, test, and repair returned units. This includes opening devices, diagnosing issues, and safely removing or replacing boards, motors, and other internal components.
 * Intake & Triage: Rotate through our initial intake queue to ensure fast answer times, create detailed case notes, and accurately route issues.
 * Clear Communication: Translate complex hardware and software diagnostic steps into easy-to-follow instructions for users with varying levels of technical expertise.
