Must Have Technical/Functional Skill
Assist in the following:
• Platform: PTC Windchill (administration and deployment across multiple environments).
• · Operating System: Linux (service operations, file management, troubleshooting, log review).
• · CI/CD and Release Tooling: Jenkins pipelines; Jira for work items, defects, and release tracking.
• · Regulated Operations: Production change controls, release documentation, and operational validation aligned to MedTech quality and compliance expectations.
Major Duties & Responsibilities
· Perform deployment activities requiring full Windchill administrative access, including configuration updates, application lifecycle operations, and environment validation.
· Prepare environments for releases, validate deployment readiness, and perform post-deployment verification activities.
· Participate in Agile scrum ceremonies (standups, sprint planning, backlog refinement) to align deployment work with sprint commitments.
· Manage and execute deployment-related work items, defects, and release tasks in Jira.
· Perform hands-on Linux-based deployment and administration activities, including file management, service operations, and troubleshooting where needed.
· Monitor deployments for issues and take corrective action within defined authority, escalating when appropriate.
· Support rollback execution and production issue resolution related to deployments.
· Ensure compliance with documented deployment methodologies, release controls, and change management standards.
· Maintain and improve deployment documentation, runbooks, and operational checklists.
· Proactively identify deployment risks, inefficiencies, or gaps and recommend improvements.
Independently execute end-to-end deployments to Dev, QA, and Production following documented change and release controls (including pre-checks, implementation, verification, and evidence capture).
· Demonstrate consistent, repeatable deployment outcomes by reducing avoidable deployment defects through strong validation and checklist discipline.
· Own and improve at least one runbook/operational checklist (clarify steps, add rollback guidance, and align with audit/compliance expectations).
· Establish trusted working rhythm with Scrum/Kanban teams and release stakeholders by providing clear status, risks, and go/no-go readiness updates aligned to sprint and change windows
