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.
