The posting

As a Field Application Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in delivering Boston Dynamics robotic solutions to our customers, ensuring their seamless integration and operational success. As the Pre & Post Technical Specialist, you will deliver professional-level technical expertise and support across the customer lifecycle. This role balances pre-sales engagement—including solution design, demonstrations, and technical validation—with post-sales implementation, configuration, and support activities. Working independently within defined guidelines, the specialist applies in-depth knowledge to resolve a range of moderately complex technical challenges while ensuring customer satisfaction and successful adoption of company solutions.

Furthermore, you will implement scalable solutions that cater to both individual integrations and the growth of customer accounts, while also managing network infrastructure and configuration for robust system connectivity. Your expertise will also be crucial in monitoring system performance, resolving technical issues through advanced troubleshooting, and providing comprehensive customer training and support. Additionally, you will lead technical projects that enhance integration efficiency, standardize processes, and drive continuous improvement, while also supporting the early-stage testing and integration of new Boston Dynamics products. You will proactively gather, systematize, and convey customer feedback to internal teams, champion product enhancements, and steer customer-focused solutions, closely working with product and engineering teams. Throughout your work, you will ensure adherence to industry standards and regulations, develop SOWs and customer success documentation, and deliver comprehensive customer training.
