Who we are:
Formic is on a mission to reshape American manufacturing by making automation accessible to every factory. As labor constraints rise, costs increase, and global competition intensifies, automation is no longer optional for manufacturers that want to stay competitive.
We deliver automation through a Robotics-as-a-Service model that combines industrial robotics, proprietary software, and full-service support into a single, integrated solution. By removing the traditional barriers of cost, complexity, and risk, we enable manufacturers to deploy automation quickly and realize measurable gains in throughput, safety, and operational efficiency without large upfront capital investment.
Backed by leading investors including Lux Capital, Initialized Capital, Blackhorn Ventures, and Mitsubishi HC Capital North America, Formic is scaling rapidly and building the foundation for a new era of high-performance, Made in America production.
As a Product Support Engineer, you will be the technical escalation point for Field Engineering and the internal expert for one to two assigned system types. You will be the connective tissue that brings product expertise and support knowledge to the broader Fleet Operations org and the Field Service Engineering team specifically.
Your primary responsibility is simple: keep the field moving. When a Field Service Engineer (FSE) encounters a problem they cannot resolve, you will step in to diagnose the issue, develop a troubleshooting path, determine the right remediation plan, and drive toward a solution quickly.
You will also look beyond the individual ticket. You will review failures across the fleet, identify repeat problems, and work with Product Engineering when something needs a permanent product fix. You will become increasingly more knowledgeable on a range of Formic's products, ensuring that we're able to support and deliver on operational needs while minimizing the demand on Product and Software resources.
This is an in-office role based in Bolingbrook, IL or Oakland, CA. You will work closely with Field Service Engineers in the field and directly with Engineering and Design teams in the office.

We're building this company from the ground up, and every person we hire has an outsized impact on our culture, performance, and trajectory.
