Senior Escalations Engineer (PST time zone)

At Motorola Solutions, we're guided by a shared purpose - helping people be their best in the moments that matter - and we live up to our purpose every day by solving for safer. Because people can only be their best when they not only feel safe, but are safe. We're solving for safer by building the best possible technologies across every part of our safety and security ecosystem. That's mission-critical communications devices and networks, AI-powered video security & access control and the ability to unite voice, video and data in a single command center view. We're solving for safer by connecting public safety agencies and enterprises, enabling the collaboration that's critical to connect those in need with those who can help. The work we do here matters.

You will love this role if you enjoy solving complex problems! You will become the bridge between our customer-facing support team and the development team and you will quickly become critical to the business. Working alongside the hardware & software development engineers and closely with our global customer support team, the Alta Video Engineering Escalations team is the external-facing side of the R&D organization. We are justifiably proud to hire escalations engineers who are recognized as the best in the industry.

Support queries are initially handled by Motorola's partner network, with more complex cases being passed to Motorola's global support team. The most complex issues are passed onto the relevant Escalations team for the product. Your role involves investigating, solving and managing these often difficult and challenging issues. In order to be successful you will have to work closely with the support team, R&D, product test group, sales, the documentation team and partners in replicating and diagnosing issues. You will need to meet tight deadlines, sometimes under pressure, while effectively managing priorities and communicating progress.

One of the great attractions of the role is the detailed knowledge you will gain on the full functionality of our advanced cloud video security products as well as many leading 3rd party products. Coupled with this, escalations engineers are likely to have the opportunity to travel overseas from time to time, and though this is not a compulsory part of the job it is a great chance to be directly involved with the leading companies who run the biggest and technically most advanced Video Surveillance Products and networks in the world.

• Provide accurate information on the status of support cases and communicate progress back to customers.
• Provide expert advice on our products to the sales and support teams.
• Contribute to an ongoing program of process improvement
