Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Provide Global L3 hardware support and conduct in-depth root cause forensic analysis for complex server issues
• Serve as a subject matter resource for out-of-band (OOB) management, such as HPE iLO, HPE OneView, HPE COM, Dell iDRAC, and Dell OpenManage Enterprise
• Independently resolve complex, cross-system technical issues with minimal oversight
• Lead scripting initiatives and develop automated server configurations to streamline operations
• Design and maintain scripts using the Redfish API to automate server discovery, configuration profiles, BIOS updates, and firmware lifecycles
• Guide application owners in automating application testing and certification processes
• Own firmware update methodologies and firmware version management for assigned segments of the global server fleet
• Identify opportunities to improve automation coverage and firmware management practices across the team
• Deliver robust server designs and lead FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) testing efforts
