We are seeking a Product Engineering (PE)  leader to support Networking products within Lenovo’s Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) product portfolio. Lenovo's ISG is innovating the future-defined data center, today. From the simplest to the most complex IT environments for all types of workloads, our servers, storage, networking and solutions help maximize the potential of data centers. The Networking PE provides engineering level technical support to the field, interfacing with Level 1 / 2 to resolve the more complex and/or urgent customer escalations. The Networking PE works directly with development, quality and/or manufacturing engineers to isolate and help perform root cause analysis of defect issues. The Networking PE also provides field communications such as Service Tips and fix releases, drives field action plans to address design and/or quality issues, manages the technical resolution plan for pervasive field issues, and drives lessons learned through a closed loop continuous improvement process. Product Engineering support begins just prior to product introduction by participating in the Ship Support sign-off and continues through the product life cycle until end-of-life.
