Technical Customer Support Specialist

Technical Support Engineer

Avive Solutions, Inc. is a growth stage Automated External Defibrillator (AED) company with a connected response system that is rapidly gaining market share. We are a mission driven team that is quite literally saving lives. Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of death in the United States, and we are on a mission to change that! We are a dynamic organization that builds elegant, creative solutions to solve complex problems. Ultimately, our mission is for all cardiac arrest victims to have rapid access to life-saving defibrillation.

Avive is taking a fresh approach to addressing this decades-old problem by innovating AED technology, coupled with a first-of-its-kind software platform solution to enable a quicker and more streamlined response to SCA emergencies. We believe that this unique combination of deploying advanced – yet still accessible – hardware, and software, has the potential to revolutionize out-of-hospital cardiac arrest response and massively impact SCA survival rates.

We are seeking a Technical Support Engineer to serve as a highly technical, customer-facing resource supporting our connected hardware and software platform. This role is responsible for diagnosing and resolving complex issues across devices, systems, and data—often in real time.

This is not a traditional support role. You will operate in a phone-first environment, working directly with customers while leveraging logs, backend data, and system insights to troubleshoot and resolve issues. You will own issues end-to-end, from initial intake through resolution or escalation, with a strong focus on root cause identification.

We are looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, is comfortable getting into the technical details, and can clearly communicate complex issues in a way that makes sense to the customer. We will be hiring someone in California and on the east coast.

Case Management & Escalation

• Escalate issues when necessary with clear, complete, and actionable context
• Partner with Engineering, Product, and Quality on deeper issues
• Reduce unnecessary escalations through thorough investigation and problem-solving

Continuous Improvement

• Identify recurring issues and contribute to long-term fixes
• Improve troubleshooting guides, runbooks, and Help Center content
• Stay current on product updates, system changes, and new technical workflows
• Provide feedback to Product and Engineering to improve system reliability
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of support processes, documentation, and troubleshooting resources.
• Assist with special projects, product testing, or internal initiatives that help improve the customer experience.
