You will work directly with Technical Operations personnel to deploy and certify the ERAM technical refresh system, perform software installations and firmware upgrades, and manage site equipment maintenance in accordance with approved technical manuals. Beyond technical execution, you will provide expertise in system monitoring, troubleshooting, and equipment relocation, ensuring the integrity and performance of the air traffic control infrastructure.
