Job Description

Vitech is seeking an experienced Customer Support Specialist who will work hard to help evolve our support function, building upon our solid customer service reputation to deliver industry-leading reliable, intelligent, and proactive support to our customers. This is a mission-critical, front-line role helping business customers from across the globe successfully leverage our GENESYS™ and CORE™ software solutions in their life-changing systems design initiatives. To successfully build our team, we need a customer care champion who will develop a thorough command of our systems engineering software products and resources, nurture customer interactions to deliver first-class service, coordinate efforts to efficiently resolve issues and enhance the Vitech Experience, and share external feedback and support insights with team members.

Who is Vitech? We are a pioneer and industry leader in integrated model-based systems engineering solutions. After 28 years supporting the systems engineering community—including commercial and government organizations involved with some of the most complex and innovative programs around the world—we are poised to take our solution to the next level! Through our 2019 acquisition by Zuken Inc., a global provider of electrical and electronic design and data management solutions, we aim to connect systems engineering and detailed design capabilities in unprecedented ways, enabling a new era of product development and integration. To do so, we must continue to advance our state-of-the-art software while cultivating our user community and the ecosystem of third-party connectors and other resources at an ever-increasing pace.

Working at Vitech affords all team members the opportunity to contribute across the company – product definition, methodology, marketing, customer experience, and beyond. This is an opportunity to escape bureaucratic environments with their monotonous customer service processes and queues to make a real difference in an organization delivering mission critical tools that help change our world.

Robust collaboration with software engineers and other product experts at our headquarters in Blacksburg, Virginia, is critical to success in this role. This position may involve access to information that is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).  All applicants must be U.S. persons within the meaning of ITAR.
