  • Identify systemic design, reliability, maintainability, and software issues; translate field evidence into actionable engineering requirements and influence corrective-action priorities and product decisions.
  • Partner with design engineering, software engineering, manufacturing, quality, applications, and service teams to reproduce complex issues, lead technical reviews, validate corrective actions, and drive implementation of service guidance.
  • Develop advanced troubleshooting methodologies, diagnostic tools, service procedures, knowledge articles, work instructions, and training materials that improve support effectiveness and consistency.
  • Establish and model effective handling and diagnostic practices for precision components, samples, cables, probes, and vacuum hardware in accordance with safety, electrostatic discharge, cleanliness, and contamination-control requirements.
