POSITION OVERVIEW
If you love hands-on technical work and get restless behind a desk, this role is built for you. As a Field Service Technician, you'll spend much of your time on the road, with travel up to 70% of the time. You will regularly spend up to 2 weeks at a time on the road. You'll work in new places and with new customers, and every installation is a little different. You'll be the face of Routeware to our customers, and you'll see the impact of your work on the trucks and fleets that keep communities running.

We're looking for someone motivated, energetic, customer-focused, and eager to grow. You have an aptitude for computer hardware and technology, some mechanical skills, and strong troubleshooting instincts. You're a hard worker with an eye for detail and outstanding communication skills. Travel is where this role gets its variety. You'll sharpen your skills across a wide range of vehicles, sites, and customer environments, and you'll build a network of customer and teammate relationships that a single-location job can't offer.

POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES

• Install computer and hardware components on large commercial trucks, at customer sites across the country.
• Solve installation challenges on the spot and earn customers' trust with timely, professional service.
• Support our technical Support Team with your real-world field experience.
• Help prepare customer shipments, including light in-house component assembly, hardware configuration, unit burn-in, data logging, and packing and shipping.
• Process return material authorizations (RMAs).
• Keep work organized and documented, both internally and externally (paperwork and record keeping).
• Repair units, hardware and software, and work directly with development engineers to communicate any issues or bugs you find.
• Other duties as assigned.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Knowledge of basic tools, principles, and procedures for installing computer systems in heavy-duty vehicles (preferred).
• A solid track record of high-quality electronics installations.
• Personal motivation, initiative, and flexibility. Flexibility helps when your work takes you to a new location.
• Experience troubleshooting computer hardware and software.
• A proven ability to work well with a team.
• Experience communicating effectively with many different stakeholders, including peers, other departments, and external customers.

IDEALLY, YOU ALSO HAVE

• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills.
• Tech savvy.
• Creative problem-solving skills.
• The ability to learn quickly, multi-task, and manage your time efficiently, whether you are at home base or on the road.
• Experience with CRM software, ideally Salesforce.
• Experience with Microsoft and Google Office Suites.
• A willingness to roll up your sleeves and work hands-on with team members.
• The highest standards of accuracy and precision, and strong organization.

BENEFITS

• Comprehensive benefits (medical with HSA option, vision, dental, and life insurance)
• Paid parental leave
• Medical and Dependent FSA
• 401K match
• Unlimited PTO
