Rockwell Automation

Deployment Support Technician - Robotics

In short

This field-based technician role supports deployment, go-live, and ongoing operational support of complex AMR (autonomous mobile robot) systems for Rockwell Automation's OTTO customers in the US and Canada. The company is a large global industrial automation technology provider. Responsibilities span on-site commissioning, troubleshooting, preventative maintenance, customer training, and fleet management, requiring frequent travel (60-70%) and flexibility for nights/weekends. A high school diploma, US work authorization, and a valid driver's license are required, with an associate's degree and 1-3+ years of automation/field-service experience preferred.

About the Role
As the Deployment Support Technician, you will partner closely with Project Management, Systems Engineering, and Operations teams to deliver exceptional outcomes for end-users, channel partners, and OTTO. You play a critical role in supporting system deployments, go-live activities, post-deployment optimization, and long-term operational stability for complex AMR solutions. You will work directly within customer production environments, performing troubleshooting, system validation, issue resolution, and user support to ensure reliable and efficient operation of deployed systems. Your success requires a strong technical aptitude, a customer-first mindset, and the flexibility to support varying shifts, extended hours, nights, and weekends when customer operations demand it.
You offer a unique opportunity to become a trusted advisor to some of OTTO's most strategic customers, working alongside industry-leading manufacturing and automation organizations. Your primary objective will be to create customer confidence by maximizing system uptime, resolving technical challenges, and helping customers realize the full value of their automation investment. While this is a remote-based position, you will be intentionally located near key customer and strategic deployment sites to enable rapid on-site support when needed. You are expected to regularly engage at customer facilities for deployments, go-lives, troubleshooting, and operational support activities. Travel to customer locations is considered part of the role, while routine support within your local area is expected as needed to meet customer and business requirements. You will report to Lead, Systems Engineering.
