- Oversee structured cabling, power validation, firmware upgrades, BIOS configuration, and infrastructure readiness.
- Coordinate deployment activities across internal engineering teams, hardware vendors, systems integrators, and data centre partners.
- Resolve deployment blockers and drive rapid issue resolution during implementation.
- Validation & Quality Assurance
- Develop and execute deployment validation procedures and acceptance criteria.
- Lead burn-in testing, stress testing, hardware diagnostics, and production readiness validation.
