Aechelon Technology Storage Systems Platform Engineer at Aechelon Technology responsible for production build issue resolution and engineering change control. This role manages image releases, spares planning, compliance, and operational metrics.
Responsibilities
Own first-pass triage and resolution: independently diagnose and resolve factory and production build issues across Windows, Windows Server, and Ubuntu using Python and PowerShell, coordinating cross-team escalation as needed.
Drive engineering change control: initiate ECRs for buildability, sourcing, and new capabilities; lead ECOs for systemic production-yield issues; and contribute to impact analysis and disposition.
Coordinate controlled image releases: release approved OS, firmware, and BIOS updates to shipped systems, and support golden-image version control.
Plan spares and long-lead materials: own forecasts and provide sustainment input for inventory targets, safety stock, end-of-life planning, and last-time buys.
Complete per-unit handoff packages: maintain accurate as-built records, image versions, and test results, and coordinate acceptance with Systems Engineering.
Support qualification and compliance: review substitutions for compliance and support component qualification, production release readiness, and supplier-quality reviews. Obtain export compliance documentation for new components and, on a quarterly basis, maintain existing export compliance documentation as needed.
Own production sustainment metrics: define and report yield, cycle time, and time to qualify, then use the results to identify and track improvements.
Improve production tooling and workflows: partner with Infrastructure and Production teams on factory provisioning, imaging, test automation, traceability integrations, and released build and test procedures.
