As a Senior Robotics Integration Engineer at Vention...

• Integrate and commission robot applications using our key partner technologies (Fanuc, Universal Robots, ABB), including programming, safety configuration, and troubleshooting.
• Support advanced escalations by owning and resolving complex support cases, ensuring fast turnaround and clear communication.
• Participate in client discussions with Sales and Customer Success Managers to identify the best-fit solutions and deployment strategies.
• Execute user acceptance testing (UAT) for new hardware and software releases to ensure readiness and functionality before rollout.
• Maintain and improve technical documentation, including user manuals, troubleshooting guides, and technical FAQs, to enable self-service and reduce repetitive tickets.
• Manage and contribute to the support system (Zendesk) by owning incoming tickets, prioritizing effectively, and improving internal workflows.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and QA by sharing field insights, contributing to feature feedback, and identifying areas for improvement.
• Mentor and guide junior Integration Specialists, helping them grow in communication, ownership, and technical depth.
