What titles/role names you use in your organization for a Technical Support Engineer?

Does anyone in this forum use a different title or role names for Technical Support Engineer / Product support engineer ? Also would appreciate any insights on the nomenclature used in your teams for dedicated support engineer's who are assigned to work with specific customers like TAM roles.

Hello @Sumit Bhat. The 2 titles you referenced are the most frequently used technical support job role/titles that we see across the Support Industry. Some minor variations include Support Engineer, Technical Support Representative, Customer Support Analyst, and occasionally, if Support has tighter integration with Customer Success, we see Customer Success Engineer as well. I hope this helps with the Support organizational business challenge that you are working on solving.

@Sumit Bhat, in addition to Dave's list, the terms specialist and advocate are being used. For example, Technical Support Specialist and Client Support Advocate.
