This role continuously reviews network performance, flags emerging trends, triages issues reported by Operations, Drivers, Automakers and other stakeholders, and validates assumptions with data before conclusions are drawn. Working across the full charging stack (charger hardware and firmware, CPMS backend, payment terminals, OCPP/OCPI/ISO 15118 protocol layers, and our internal data platform) the NOC Engineer performs evidence-based root cause analysis and delivers concise, prioritized feedback into the engineering group for all things quality-related: software bugs, feature gaps, and implementation gaps. The role partners daily with the Charging Quality team, Operations, Data/Technology teams, and our hardware, CPMS, and payment vendors. Mission: Detect and triage the true root cause of issues impacting the customer charging experience, and convert network data into prioritized, actionable engineering feedback. KPIs: * 1st Attempt Success * Network MTBF / MTTR * Time to Detect & Triage (detection lag from first occurrence to validated triage) * RCA Quality (validated root causes; vendor/engineering escalations accepted on first submission) Key Responsibilities * Network Monitoring & Trend Detection + Review daily network performance against baseline (plug success, 1st attempt success, charge success, uptime, error-code frequency) and flag deviations before drivers or partners report them. + Spot patterns across sites, charger models, firmware versions, vehicle OEMs, and failure modes; distinguish systemic regressions from site-local, vehicle-specific, or one-off events. + Track customer-facing trends (repeat-visit failures, new vehicle behavior, Google/Plugshare commentary) and translate them into measurable, ticketed issues. + Monitor the health of automated failure-mode classifiers; flag stale ingestion or classifier regressions that would distort KPIs before trends are misread. * Issue Triage & Root Cause Analysis + Triage incoming tickets from Operations: validate, complete, or correct initial assumptions with proof from raw data rather than accepting them at face value. + Drive analysis to the true technical root cause using raw telemetry: OCPP message logs, application/server logs, payment terminal data, charger diagnostics, and session logs. Do not stop at surface-level dashboards. + Correlate evidence across independent sources (telemetry, logs, vendor portals, customer reports) and reference the relevant standards (OCPP 1.6J, OCPI, ISO 15118, DIN 70121, IEC 61851). + Document findings concisely on tickets with supporting queries, charts, and log excerpts, plus a short "how-to" so any teammate can retrace and verify the analysis. * Engineering Feedback & Prioritization + Provide concise, prioritized, evidence-backed input to the engineering group: software bugs, feature gaps, and implementation gaps, each with quantified customer impact (sessions affected, KPI impact). + Recommend concrete next steps: lab replication steps, NOC runbook actions, config/firmware review, or field service dispatch. + Validate fixes after release and watch for regressions when vendors ship new software. * Vendor & Cross-Functional Escalation + File well-evidenced tickets to hardware, CPMS, payment, and OEM partners; follow escalations through to closure. + Surface recurring cross-ticket patterns to the Director of Charging Quality to feed the systemic-issue program and quality strategy. + Propose monitoring, alerting, and classification improvements that shorten detection lag and reduce repeat analysis., * Emerging issues are detected and triaged from network data before customers, OEM partners, or vendors report them. * Tickets reach engineering with a validated root cause, quantified impact, and clear priority, and require little rework. * Detection lag shrinks measurably; wrong-cause escalations become rare. * The NOC Engineer is the trusted voice of "what the network data says" in quality decisions and prioritization. * While core hours follow a traditional business schedule, this position may occasionally require work outside standard business hours, including evenings and weekends, to support incident response or scheduled maintenance windows. * Vendor escalations are accepted and actioned on first submission because the evidence package is complete. ## Related Videos - [LLMOps-driven fine-tuning, evaluation, and inference with NVIDIA NIM & NeMo Microservices](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1582-llmops-driven-fine-tuning-evaluation-and-inference-with-nvidia-nim-nemo-microservices) - [Debug a Kubernetes Operator](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/487-debug-a-kubernetes-operator) - [What Developers Get Wrong About Application Quality](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/233-what-developers-get-wrong-about-application-quality) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Add Location-based Searching to Site with ElasticSearch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/77-add-location-based-searching-to-site-with-elasticsearch) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
