## Description

Fortress Safety is looking for a hands-on Application & Technical Support Engineer to support our engineered machine-safety and interlocking products across pre- and post-sales. This is a physical-product engineering role, not IT / SaaS - you'll solve real machinery challenges for customers, not troubleshoot IT systems. It's an excellent step for an engineer looking to grow toward Sales, Product Management or technical leadership.
What you'll be doing
Provide expert application and troubleshooting support for our machine-safety interlocking products, by phone, email and on-site.
Manage daily customer enquiries via the technical-support inbox and phone line, meeting agreed KPIs.
Diagnose complex product and application issues to identify root causes and effective fixes.
Partner with the Sales team to help customers specify and integrate safety solutions using automation-system knowledge.
Travel to customer sites to troubleshoot and resolve issues in the field.
Support webinars, trade shows and training sessions to drive product adoption.
Capture customer feedback and feed real-world insight into product development.
Build technical depth in emerging technologies including IO-Link Safety and electrical devices such as Remlive.
