• Coordinate changes associated with cloud platform upgrades, operating system updates, security patches, application releases, infrastructure modernization, and technology migrations.
• Develop dashboards, metrics, and reports to measure change success rates, failed changes, emergency changes, change volume, implementation performance, and compliance.
• Identify opportunities to automate repetitive change management activities using scripting, APIs, Infrastructure as Code, and DevOps tooling.
• Participate in technical design reviews and architecture discussions to ensure change management requirements are incorporated early in the engineering lifecycle.
• Provide technical guidance to junior engineers and development teams regarding cloud change management, deployment practices, documentation, and operational readiness.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives designed to increase deployment velocity, reliability, security, and operational stability.
• Assist with audits and assessments by providing evidence of change approvals, testing, implementation, validation, configuration management, and compliance.
• Support FAA mission systems by ensuring cloud changes are executed in a controlled, predictable, secure, and repeatable manner.
