Global Service Specialist
About the Role
As a Global Service Specialist at Agilent Technologies, you will serve as the company’s senior service expert for a specific pathology instrument. Your key mission is to enable Field Service Engineers (FSEs) and external service providers (ASPs) to deliver consistent, high-quality service in the field, demonstrating that Agilent Diagnostic Service (ADS) is a world-class diagnostic service organization. This highly collaborative role involves working with stakeholders across ADS and other functions, including R&D, Marketing, Supply Chain, and QA/RA. Strong communication skills, creativity, technical judgment, and a proactive mindset are essential for success.
In addition to owning service responsibilities for a dedicated pathology instrument, you will contribute to cross-platform initiatives within the global service team, such as AI-supported processes for instrument log files, improved digital service checklists, and process improvements across both front-end and back-end service activities.
The preferred location is close to an Agilent site in EMEA or the US. Remote locations may also be considered, though this may require increased travel. The role involves collaboration across regions and time zones.
