As an SwRRT Engineer you will be working closely with one of the major global ICPs gathering feature requirements, helping to on-board, involve in recovery efforts during a critical outage, analyzing logs to isolate faults, determining the root cause, and working towards defect resolution. You will be part of SW/product release cycle, providing software solutions through product enhancement, debuggability requirement during release planning/discussions. You will also work closely with SVT to optimize their test plans & RCCA discussions as per the ICP use-cases.

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 prevent the issues in the newer products by incorporating learning from the field. Active participation and contribution to 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 and with the customer to preserve customer confidence / experience. Discussion with Arch team to conclude on the necessary changes needed in Architecture if necessary. Providing on-demand suggestions to the Arch Team on the ICP usage of Products to plan for Feature considerations. Increase the 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.
