Senior Technical Support Specialist - GNSS & Auto Guidance
Requisition ID: 5652
Job Location: Ames - Iowa - United States, Racine - Wisconsin - United States, Sioux Falls - South Dakota - United States
Category for Job Posting: Service and Support
Job Type for Job Posting: Full Time
Working Mode for Job Posting: Hybrid
Job Purpose
CNH is hiring a Product Champion for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and auto guidance technology. This is a senior technical support role covering GNSS positioning, auto guidance, and steering control on Case IH and New Holland agricultural equipment.
You will be the North American Technical Support leadership for GNSS and auto guidance. Technical support agents bring you the cases that run past their experience, and you work those cases with them. Quality and Engineering rely on you to surface the trends and defects showing up in the field. Global product development hears the dealer and the field through you.
You collaborate extensively with the technical support agents to grow their skills and confidence, working adjacent to the technical support manager. You set the technical priorities for GNSS and auto guidance, and you help determine whether the support organization is ready for each product launch.
What You Will Own
Auto guidance and steering control: vehicle and implement auto guidance, hydraulic valve and electric steering, aftermarket and Hybrid systems, navigation controllers, and row guidance.
GNSS positioning systems and correction: GNSS receivers and antennas, Real Time Kinematic (RTK) base stations and network correction, and correction subscriptions and services.
Core display functions tied to guidance: software update process, remote display view, activations, and retrofit installations.
Mapping, rate and sectional control, implement communication, and off-board data platforms sit with peer Product Champions you will work alongside.
Key Responsibilities
Product Expertise: Maintain deep expertise across every generation in the domain — factory fit, retrofit, aftermarket, and Hybrid systems — and stay current as products, software, and correction services change.
Leadership for Technical Support Advanced Diagnostics: Work with agents on the cases that exceed their experience. Identify the next diagnostic steps and the next action to take and grow the agent’s capability while you do it. Set the diagnostic standard for the domain: what good troubleshooting looks like and what data gets captured.
Case Work and Seasonal Coverage: Work technical support cases alongside the agents to carry total case volume, increasing through seasonal swings.
Emerging Issue Response: Spot developing field problems early and direct the support response — containment message, data collection, and interim work-around.
Quality and Engineering Collaboration: Collaborate with North America Quality, the Product Technical Specialist, and the field technical specialist team on trends, defects, evidence packages, and root cause, making sure adequate detail is captured on the most complex problems.
Launch Tracking: Track product launches and software releases for the domain against the platform program timeline. Know what content is coming in each release and keep the support organization ahead of the dates.
Training Material Verification: Work with the training group to review course content, service documentation, and diagnostic material for new products, and verify it is accurate and complete before launch.
Support Staff Readiness: Train the technical support staff on new products and releases so agents are prepared to take concerns the day a product reaches the dealer.
Release Validation: Participate in user acceptance testing for each release and coordinate beta testing across the support team.
Documentation: Author and/or update diagnostic procedures, service bulletins, and solution articles that shorten repair resolution time for the dealer network.
Training and Agent Development: Deliver ongoing product training focused on emerging issues and common problems, and make sure the technical support manager understands skill gaps for team leadership and support development.
Cross-Functional Leadership: Validate the technical quality of Technical Help Desk concerns, track concern trends, and represent North America support with engineering, platform, quality, and commercial partners.
Experience Required
Bachelor’s degree in an engineering or technology field with six (6) or more years of relevant experience; OR an associate degree with eight (8) or more years of technical support, precision agriculture, or dealership service experience with agricultural equipment.
Guidance and Positioning Expertise: Working knowledge of agricultural guidance systems — displays, GNSS receivers and antennas, correction sources including RTK, automated steering through hydraulic valves and electric motor drives, and guidance accuracy.
Technical Aptitude: Strong command of electrical and hydraulic schematics, steering and controller architecture, and Controller Area Network (CAN) diagnostics.
Leadership Without Authority: Proven ability to lead and influence technical work across support, engineering, and quality organizations without a reporting relationship.
Communication: Ability to explain complex diagnostics by phone, document them clearly, and present findings to senior leadership.
Travel: Up to twenty-five percent (25%) for dealer support, field testing, and program meetings.
Work Schedule and Location
This position operates on a Hybrid schedule (3 days in-office, 2 days remote).
Candidates can be based out of any of the following CNH Technical Training and Support facilities:
- Racine, Wisconsin (preferred)
- Ames, Iowa
- Sioux Falls, South Dakota
Standard working hours are 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, with potential for shifted or seasonal extended hours, or rotating Saturday coverage.
Preferred Qualifications
Three (3) or more years supporting guidance, steering, or GNSS positioning technology in technical support, product support, or a dealership service department.
Hands-on experience installing, calibrating, or troubleshooting RTK base stations and network correction services.
Dealer service experience with Case IH or New Holland guidance products, or comparable aftermarket and Hybrid steering systems.
Experience authoring service documentation, diagnostic procedures, or technical service bulletins.
Familiarity with new product introduction milestones, user acceptance testing, or beta programs for software releases.
Pay Transparency
The annual salary for this role is USD $86,625.00 - $132,825.00 plus any applicable bonus (Actual salaries will vary and will be based on various factors, such as skill, experience and qualification for the role.)
For roles open across multiple locations, the salary range indicated refers to the primary location. If a different location is considered, the applicable salary range will be communicated to candidates prior to the first interview.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Technical Support Specialist
Confirm the role is classified as a specialty occupation
USCIS requires that a bachelor's degree in a specific field be the normal minimum for entry. Senior Technical Support roles vary widely, so verify the job description emphasizes specialized technical knowledge, not general troubleshooting anyone could perform.
Target employers with an established H-1B filing history
Companies that have sponsored this job title before understand the LCA and I-129 process. Employers new to sponsorship often delay or abandon petitions mid-process. Look for organizations with consistent technical hiring across multiple fiscal years.
Ask about sponsorship scope before your first interview
Some employers sponsor H-1B transfers but won't file new cap-subject petitions. Others cover premium processing; many don't. Clarifying scope early saves weeks of back-and-forth after an offer is extended and avoids misaligned expectations during negotiation.
Highlight specialized technical credentials in your application
Certifications in cloud platforms, networking, or enterprise software strengthen the specialty occupation argument for your petition. USCIS scrutinizes support roles more than engineering titles, so documentation of specialized expertise directly supports approvability.
Understand your current status timeline before applying
If you're on OPT, your employer must file before your OPT expires to maintain cap-gap protection through September 30. On an H-1B transfer, work authorization begins when USCIS receives the petition, so you can start without waiting for approval.
Negotiate premium processing into your offer if possible
Premium processing reduces the H-1B approval timeline from several months to 15 business days. For a Senior Technical Support role with an urgent start date, it significantly reduces uncertainty. Some employers offer it as standard; others require you to request it explicitly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Technical Support Specialist role qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
It depends on how the role is defined. USCIS requires that a bachelor's degree in a specific field, such as computer science or information technology, be the normal minimum for entry into the position. Senior-level roles with specialized technical requirements generally qualify, but generalist support positions where any degree suffices often don't. The job description is the deciding factor, not the title alone.
What degree do I need for an employer to sponsor my H-1B as a Senior Technical Support Specialist?
A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, engineering, or a closely related technical field is the standard requirement. If your degree is in an unrelated field, relevant work experience can sometimes substitute under the three-for-one rule: three years of specialized experience replaces one year of formal education. USCIS evaluates equivalency case by case, so a credential evaluation from an approved service strengthens borderline petitions.
How competitive is H-1B approval for Technical Support roles compared to software engineering?
Approval rates for Senior Technical Support roles are generally lower than for software engineering titles because USCIS scrutinizes support positions more heavily for specialty occupation eligibility. The agency sometimes issues Requests for Evidence questioning whether a degree is truly required. Strong job descriptions that emphasize specialized systems knowledge, not general helpdesk functions, and employers with a documented history of sponsoring this title improve approval odds meaningfully.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new employer in a Senior Technical Support Specialist role?
Yes. H-1B visa portability allows you to transfer to a new employer once you have an approved I-140 or have been in H-1B status for more than 180 days. Your new employer files a new I-129 petition, and you can begin working as soon as USCIS receives it, without waiting for approval. The new petition still needs to establish specialty occupation eligibility, so the job description matters even for transfers.
Where can I find Senior Technical Support Specialist jobs that offer visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. The job board filters for roles where employers have an active history of H-1B and E-3 visa sponsorship, so you're not applying blind to companies that won't sponsor. Browsing by job title on Migrate Mate surfaces opportunities from employers already familiar with the LCA and petition process for technical support roles.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Senior Technical Support Specialist jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
