Gather, validate, and document all pertinent details related to an issue believed to be a bug to enable the receiving R&D resource to duplicate the issue easily and rapidly. Work with R&D as needed during isolation, correction, and implementation of any delivered resolution.Develop and maintain consistent and exemplary performance on all key performance indicators, modelling a higher-level achievement for level 1 Technical Support Engineers as well as your peers at the same job level.Properly de-escalate customers through expert communication and resource engagement, ensuring that all customers that you influence are receiving excellent service.
