Job Description: We are seeking an engaging, technically fluent Technical Customer Experience Presenter to support a mobile technology experience showcasing modern manufacturing, automation, robotics, industrial AI, and manufacturing data solutions. This person will serve as the primary storyteller and customer-facing presenter during mobile experience center visits, industry events, and customer engagements across the United States. Think of this person as an expert trade-show booth tour guide rather than a traditional salesperson or keynote speaker. They need to quickly connect with plant managers, engineers, technical leaders, and account teams while translating complex technology into an approachable, connected story. The role does not require someone to be a hands-on automation engineer, developer, or robotics expert. Instead, the ideal candidate has enough technical aptitude to understand and confidently discuss automation, robotics, AI, manufacturing operations, and data, while knowing when to transition deeper technical questions to subject matter experts. Presentations can range from approximately 20-minute repeatable experiences to multi-hour customer engagements. The content is story-driven rather than a product-by-product presentation, showing customers the "art of the possible" through realistic manufacturing scenarios. The position requires approximately 70% U.S. travel, typically traveling Monday through Thursday, with non-travel time used for preparation, training, content development, and other internal projects.
