Working in Rapid Response Team this role needs to work and operate cross-functionally with SW/ FW / HW Engineering, Product Line Management (PLM), Architecture, Software Verification Team (SVT), Global Technical Support (GTS) Teams to effectively and efficiently resolve issues affecting the Customers networks. As an RRT Engineer you will be involved in recovery efforts during a critical outage, analyzing logs to isolate faults, determining root cause, and working towards defect resolution. RRT Engineer will be part of SW/product release cycle, providing software solutions through product enhancement, debuggability requirement etc during release planning discussions. An RRT Engineer will also work closely with SVT to optimize their test plans & RCCA discussions.

Key Roles & Responsibilities:

• Good troubleshooting and debugging skills to Handle worldwide field escalations into Optical Systems Engineering.
• Investigate and troubleshoot customer issues in both Production and Lab environments to Perform efficient and detailed RCA of field issues.
• Provide quick post FCS solutions to customer issues completing root cause analysis, temporary workaround for recovery and work with development team for corrective actions.
• Produce and deliver post-mortem actions to to Prevent issues in the newer products by incorporating learning from the field.

• Active participation and Contribution to the System Development Lifecycle processes (Product/system requirement review discussions, Software Design implementation discussions, Peer code review, Work with the Product management team for Customer scenarios and use cases).
• Cross-functional coordination with multiple stakeholders within different Engineering and Services teams to preserve customer confidence / experience.
• Discussing with Arch team to conclude on the necessary changes needed in Architecture if necessary.
• Providing on-demand suggestions to Arch Team on Customer usage of Products to plan for Feature considerations.
• Increase ability of services teams to reduce escalations to Engineering by Building tools, knowledge bases, debug recipes.
• Implement process changes in Engineering org to prevent breakages, checklists, regression suites, drive custom solutions.
