Technical Customer Success Specialist

Manufacturing Technology | Customer Training | Technical Support | CAD/CAM

Location: Elgin, IL

Compensation: $28-$32/hour

Schedule: Full-Time

Are You the Person Everyone Calls When They Need Help?

Do you enjoy solving technical problems, teaching others, and working directly with customers? Are you comfortable moving between troubleshooting, training, and demonstrations in a manufacturing environment?

We are looking for a Technical Customer Success Specialist who combines strong communication skills with a passion for manufacturing technology. In this role, you'll help customers maximize the value of advanced manufacturing equipment through training, technical support, process improvement, and product demonstrations.

This position is perfect for someone who enjoys working with people just as much as technology.

What You'll Be Doing

Customer Training & Education

  • Lead customer training sessions both virtually and onsite.
  • Teach operators, programmers, and production teams how to use manufacturing technologies effectively.
  • Develop customer confidence through hands-on instruction and support.
  • Guide customers through implementation and adoption of new solutions.

Technical Support & Troubleshooting

  • Provide phone, remote, and onsite technical support.
  • Assist customers with software, programming, and manufacturing process issues.
  • Troubleshoot production challenges and provide practical solutions.
  • Collaborate with internal engineering and support teams.

Product Demonstrations

  • Conduct customer-facing demonstrations in showroom and field environments.
  • Present technical concepts in a clear, professional manner.
  • Support sales activities by showcasing equipment capabilities and applications.
  • Assist with trade shows, customer visits, and special events.

Manufacturing Process Support

  • Support customers in optimizing production processes.
  • Work with CAD/CAM programs and manufacturing technologies.
  • Analyze customer applications and recommend best practices.
  • Help validate new processes, products, and machine capabilities.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

  • Experience working in a manufacturing, CNC, fabrication, machining, industrial, or technical environment.
  • Strong customer service and communication skills.
  • Comfortable speaking and presenting to small and mid-sized groups.
  • Ability to troubleshoot technical issues and explain solutions clearly.
  • Basic understanding of CAD/CAM software.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and desire to learn new technologies.
  • Ability to travel throughout North America.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing Technology, Robotics, Industrial Technology, or a related field.
  • Experience with CNC machines, fabrication equipment, industrial machinery, or manufacturing technologies.
  • Experience reading blueprints and technical drawings.
  • Technical training or instructional experience.
  • Customer-facing technical support experience.
  • CAD/CAM programming experience.
  • Experience supporting software or manufacturing systems.

We encourage candidates from the following backgrounds to apply:

  • Manufacturing Applications Specialist
  • CAD/CAM Specialist
  • Technical Trainer
  • CNC Programmer
  • Manufacturing Support Specialist
  • Field Service Technician
  • Industrial Equipment Technician
  • Maintenance Technician
  • Technical Support Specialist
  • Customer Success Specialist
  • Applications Specialist
  • Process Technician

What Makes Someone Successful in This Role?

The most successful people in this position are:

Comfortable interacting with customers daily

Strong communicators and presenters

Confident teaching and training others

Mechanically inclined and curious

Able to balance technical problem solving with customer engagement

Professional, adaptable, and self-motivated

Why This Role is Different

This is not a traditional engineering position where you spend your day behind a desk.

You'll work directly with customers, help solve real manufacturing challenges, lead training sessions, support advanced technology solutions, and become a trusted technical resource. You'll have the opportunity to combine technical expertise, customer interaction, problem solving, and professional growth into a rewarding career path.

If you enjoy technology, manufacturing, customer interaction, and helping others succeed, we'd love to hear from you.
