Job description

At Percepta, we deliver award-winning services for every stage of the automotive and mobility customer journey. As an Escalation Support Specialist (specializing in the automotive industry) working hybrid in Allen Park, MI , you'll become part of a community that values your success, supports your career growth, and celebrates your contributions.

What You'll Be Doing

The Escalation Support Specialist plays a vital role in delivering a smooth and reliable experience for customers using connected vehicle services. In this position, you'll troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues, act as a point of escalation for customer concerns, and collaborate closely with both internal teams and external partners to provide timely, effective solutions.

You'll be part of a team dedicated to creating innovative, integrated customer experiences through connected technologies. By leveraging over-the-air (OTA) updates and advanced digital platforms, the team is continuously enhancing vehicle functionality and redefining how customers interact with their vehicles.

During a Typical Day, You'll

  • Provide expert-level technical assistance for escalated customer issues, ensuring timely resolution within defined service-level agreements (SLAs).
  • Diagnose and resolve complex hardware and software issues related to connected vehicle services, collaborating with engineering, product, and other internal teams as needed.
  • Use connected vehicle data to identify and address potential issues before they affect customers, contributing to improvements in service quality and reliability.
  • Analyze support trends and recurring issues to identify root causes and areas for improvement. Contribute to the development of reports and key performance indicators (KPIs).
  • Work closely with internal stakeholders and external partners to resolve issues efficiently and maintain clear, consistent communication with all parties.
  • Maintain responsibility for end-to-end case management, ensuring updates are clearly communicated to customers, internal stakeholders, and partner teams.
  • Identify opportunities to streamline support processes and reduce manual effort. Collaborate with the Knowledge Base team to create and maintain internal documentation that enables real-time solutions.
  • Escalate unresolved or highly complex issues through appropriate channels (e.g., Jira, ServiceNow, Microsoft Teams, Webex), ensuring timely handoff and continued visibility until resolution.
  • Monitor and communicate patterns in software-related issues to team leads and relevant stakeholders to support root-cause analysis and long-term resolution planning.

What You Bring to the Role

  • A high school diploma or GED (required); additional education in automotive service, software technology, or a related field is preferred—or equivalent practical experience.
  • 3 years of experience in engineering or technical support, ideally in a customer-facing or escalation-focused role.
  • Proficiency with help desk platforms, remote support tools, and CRM systems such as Microsoft Dynamics or Salesforce.
  • Familiarity with incident and problem management tools (e.g., Jira, BMC, ServiceNow).
  • Experience working in a remote or distributed work environment is a plus.
  • Strong technical troubleshooting skills with the ability to resolve complex hardware and software issues.
  • Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and Agile methodologies; experience with developer tools (e.g., IDEs, compilers, debuggers) is a plus.
  • High emotional intelligence with the ability to empathize with customer concerns and maintain professionalism in high-pressure situations.
  • Proven adaptability in fast-paced environments with shifting priorities and evolving technologies.
  • Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with a strong focus on delivering outstanding customer experiences.
  • Demonstrated ability to work both independently and collaboratively within cross-functional teams.
  • A proactive mindset and passion for identifying solutions, improving processes, and exceeding customer expectations.
  • What You Can Expect

  • Starting hourly pay rate of $21.00 per hour (based on experience and other factors)
  • Health / Dental / Vision / Life Insurance
  • Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Health Savings Account (HSA)
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Vacation / Sick Time and Paid Holidays
  • Tuition Reimbursement
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Employee Discount Program
  • Training and Development Programs (Percepta College)
  • Award-Winning Employee Rewards Program (Perci Perks)
  • A Bit More About Your Role

    This is a full-time position (40 hours per week) with a hybrid work schedule. You'll work on-site at our office in Michigan Central Station, located in Corktown, Monday through Thursday, with the flexibility to work remotely on Fridays. Our hours of operation are 8 : 00 AM to 8 : 00 PM ET, and your specific working hours may vary within that window. All necessary equipment and tools will be provided to support your success in the role.
