Use SQL, operational data and system logs to investigate performance issues and identify opportunities for improved reliability and availability.
Work closely with Product and Engineering teams to investigate system performance and contribute to product and system improvements.
Feed customer and field insights back into the wider organisation and help standardise best practices across sites.
Support preventative maintenance, continuous improvement and the development of new performance monitoring and analytics capabilities.
Manage technical incidents and customer expectations, taking ownership of issues through to resolution and escalating where required.

Requirements:
Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills, ideally gained within automation, controls, maintenance, field service or industrial technology.
Experience working with automation and controls systems.
Strong analytical and data-driven problem-solving skills, with experience using KPIs, performance metrics and operational data.
Proven experience developing or implementing performance improvement plans.
Proficiency with SQL and the ability to investigate system performance using data.
Good Linux command-line proficiency and experience analysing system/application logs.
Understanding of WMS, WCS and WES systems and their interaction with automated equipment.

Strong data analysis and reporting capabilities.
Good mechanical aptitude and confidence undertaking hands-on technical work.
Experience with analytics, monitoring or performance-management tools would be advantageous.
A continuous improvement mindset, with a focus on measurable improvements in reliability, availability and performance.
Ability to work effectively with customers, suppliers and cross-functional technical teams.
Ability to participate in an on-call rotation.

Reasons why you should apply:
Join a global leader in warehouse automation and robotics, working on sophisticated systems used every day by major international customers.
