Key job responsibilities
As a Support Engineer on the design-technology team youll keep the teams prototype device fleet ready to demo and build the tooling that keeps it that way. On any given day you might prepare a set of devices tablets laptops or large TVs for a leadership review on under an hours notice move hardware between offices in the Seattle and Bellevue area flash builds and configure apps across Linux macOS Windows and mobile/embedded platforms and troubleshoot whatever isnt cooperating. Between requests youll extend the teams internal tools and automation and provide light cloud server and local-network support. Youll manage device inventory ordering and shipping write clear setup guides so less technical teammates can help themselves and steadily replace manual steps with reusable workflows.

A day in the life
Your core focus is keeping the teams prototype devices ready to demo at a moments notice. A leadership review might come together an hour before it starts and youre the person who makes sure the right devices are set up loaded with the latest build and working sometimes carrying hardware between offices in the Seattle and Bellevue area to get it where it needs to the quieter moments between those requests you make the whole thing run smoother: building small tools and automating the repetitive setup steps so the next demo is easier than the last and helping teammates learn to set up their own devices. Its a fast-moving environment built around brand-new technology so priorities shift often youll stay calm under a tight turnaround and take real pride in being the reason a big demo goes off without a hitch.
