  • Participate in customer escalation discussions as needed.
  • Analyze customer-escaped defect trends, identify recurring failure modes and product quality risks, produce metrics on customer-detected defects, escaped defects by product, root-cause categories, defect age, time to resolution, and customer-impact trends, and recommend preventive quality improvements.
