The posting

About the Team:

Born at X, Google's Moonshot Factory, Taara is on a mission to connect billions of people lacking abundant and affordable internet today by pioneering the way we use light to deliver faster, cheaper, more reliable connectivity. You can help lead the charge in bringing our groundbreaking wireless optical communication and photonics chip technologies to the world. Join us to light the way for bridging the digital divide and illuminating the future.

About the Role:

At Taara, we are looking for a skilled technical problem solver to join our team. This Senior Technical Escalations Engineer will be responsible for replicating complex field issues, performing deep-dive root cause analysis on wireless optical communication (WOC) products, and driving strong alignment and shared understanding among our customer support, network operations, product and engineering teams. You’ll also be a primary owner of our user acceptance testing work streams, helping to ensure that our hardware and software enhancements will work seamlessly in the array of network environments in which our customers deploy our products.

How you will make 10x impact:

- Advanced Troubleshooting: Act as the Tier 3 escalation point for complex technical issues that require more than just a reboot.

- Knowledge Engineering: Translate your findings into actionable intelligence. You’ll draft troubleshooting guides, Method of Procedures (MOPs), and internal resources to level up our frontline support teams.

- Issue Replication & RCA: Build lab environments to replicate customer-reported performance issues. Perform root cause analysis (RCA) on hardware and networking failures in close partnership with Engineering.

- Quality Assurance & UAT: Assist with User Acceptance Testing (UAT) by performing QA in diverse customer environments and various network configurations to ensure stability before full rollouts.

- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work directly with Product, Network Operations, and Engineering to influence product improvements and prioritization based on observed field data and recurring issues.

What you should have:

- Experience: At least 10+ years of experience in technical solutions engineering, test

- Networking Guru: Strong hands-on experience in Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking protocols.

- Deep understanding of network protocols, topology, and hardware performance like STP, BGP, SNMP, TCP/IP, Ethernet, HTTP or equivalent

- Must be comfortable diagnosing routing adjacency failures, Layer 2 loops, VLAN/trunking issues, asymmetric routing, packet loss, link failures, and network failover behavior.

- The "Hacker" Mindset: You enjoy breaking things just to figure out how to fix them. You are persistent in finding the "why" behind a bug.

- Technical Writing: Ability to take a complex technical solution and document it into a clear, step-by-step guide for others.

- Collaboration: Comfortable working in the trenches with Engineering while still being able to communicate effectively with customer-facing teams.

- Ability to work in the Sunnyvale office at least 3 days per week.

It would be great if you also had these:

- Direct experience with free space optics and/or radio frequency hardware

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
