Identify trends in system failures and propose preventative measures to improve overall system safety and robustness by producing clear and concise reports of system issues, troubleshooting steps, and root cause analysis.
Work to define and report on the operational characteristics of SBA execution including cost and capacity forecasting.
Be hands-on, lead by example, and develop tools and workflows to drive improvements for both quality and quantity aspects of the triage operations.
Demonstrate operational agility by quickly adapting to changing priorities, managing multiple tasks simultaneously, and implementing effective solutions in dynamic environments.
