Field Software Quality Lead PWP

Description -

Role Summary

The Software Quality Lead in PageWide Industrial (PWP/PWI) drives a closed-loop quality system that turns field issues and operational signals into prioritized actions with R&D and Services, improving long‑term customer experience (not just reporting).

Key Responsibilities

• Own SW field issue capture & resolution process: ensure the right workflows exist and are followed to capture/resolve FW/SW field issues.

• Daily analytics & Paretos: publish daily trend views and Pareto breakdowns that identify top drivers and guide focus.

• Quality metrics & dashboards: deliver and maintain a SW quality dashboard used for field and release qualification; track convergence/health of SW issues.

• R&D improvement plans: convert top Pareto drivers into an owned backlog (investigation → fix plan → validation → verified reduction).

• Proactive rules (CX prevention): define and deploy proactive monitoring rules/signals to detect issues earlier and reduce customer impact/cases.

• Problem/Case management alignment: operate within established PWP support/problem practices and update cadence for high-priority items.

Required Skills

• Data-driven quality analytics: ability to create daily trend analysis, Paretos, and actionable insights from field/operational data.

• Dashboarding & reporting: experience delivering quality dashboards and using metrics/thresholds to communicate release/field health.

• Automation mindset: ability to help automate recurring quality reports/visuals and evolve dashboards (e.g., scripts → dashboard integration).

• Cross-functional influence: strong collaboration skills to drive alignment between field/support organizations and R&D on priorities and execution.

• Process ownership: ability to define, enforce, and improve end-to-end quality workflows for capturing and resolving field issues.

• Customer-focus & judgement: ability to pursue proactive investigations while managing communication risk (avoid premature customer impact before a solution exists).

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's Engineering degree, preferable computer science, with at least 6+ years of experience in Support organizations

• Strong hands-on troubleshooting background across compute platforms + networking + hardware/electronics-adjacent systems in production environments.

• Exposure to reliability engineering, problem management, and operational excellence methods (Pareto, 5-Why, fault tree, etc.).

• Ability to perform structured debug: hypothesis → evidence gathering → isolation → mitigation → prevention.

• Experience working escalations and coordinating across multiple teams under time pressure.

• Excellent written/verbal communication; ability to produce customer-ready summaries and internal technical notes.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with industrial equipment, printing systems, or complex electromechanical platforms.

• Familiarity with Tiered support models and escalation/task workflows (ServiceNow-style task elevation and closure discipline).

The pay range for this role is $130,700 to $205,200 USD annually with additional
opportunities for pay in the form of bonus and/or equity (applies to United
States of America candidates only). Pay varies by work location, job-related
