- Coordinate maintenance windows with Client's IT and instrument owners; work within change-control processes.
- Troubleshoot patch failures and maintain accurate device/patch inventory and documentation.
Basic Qualifications
- Bachelors in computer science /IT/Engineering or equivalent.
- 5+ years in IT/Engineering with hands-on Windows OS and Software Patch-Management experience.
- Strong with current and legacy/embedded Windows (10/11, Server, Win 7, Win 10 IoT).
- Familiarity with patch tools (SCCM/MECM, WSUS, Intune; Ivanti/Tanium/BigFix a plus) and vulnerability management.
- Comfort working alongside engineering/lab environments; change-management awareness.
- Excellent written and oral communication; professional, client-facing demeanor.
- Able to work on-site in Pune full-time.
