Going far beyond the standard call center or tiered support position, the Technical Solutions Engineer at Arista Networks is a top level engineer, equivalent to a Tier 3 or Escalation Engineer in most support organizations.
The TSE works in a non-silo environment, supporting all of Arista’s products and the many network protocols and features covered by EOS. He or she will work directly with both the customer and (when needed) the software and hardware development teams. The TSE team also performs all their own recreates in a dedicated lab environment.
Giving customers direct access to a high-level engineer streamlines the support process and raises customer satisfaction.
Responsibilities:
Education:
Minimum education is a MS in a technical field (CS/EE/ITP preferred). Industry certifications preferred. Prior TAC experience preferred.
Required Product Knowledge and Technical Skills:
Desired Skills:
The ideal candidate possesses the ability to troubleshooting complex and dynamic customer environments while balancing the communications needs of each case. A strong analytical mind is required, as is the ability to triage. As we are continually releasing new features and products, a high aptitude for both learning and teaching are required.
Our engineers work closely with other members of Customer Engineering as well as both Software and Hardware development—both in diagnosing problems as well as communicating them in multiple technical contexts. Thus, excellent written and verbal communication skills are a must, as is a collaborative approach.
