Akkodis is seeking a Consultant for a Device Management Specialist contract position. This is a senior engineer who has owned the full lifecycle of changes to thousands of store or endpoint devices, Windows and Linux, from build and test through deployment and verification, and can trace a failure back through the people, the process, and the tools to find where it broke. This is a 100% Remote position
Pay: $70/hr up to $80/hr
Vice President of Business Development Responsibilities:
Trace three real failures, a printer firmware rollout, a register BIOS update that ran twice and took stores down, and a back-office PC imaging process, back through how each change was built, tested, approved, deployed, and verified.
Sit with the admins of a 15-year-old in-house deployment tool and understand what it actually does when a job runs, fails, or re-fires.
Judge whether the lab, the pilot, and the rollout stages would have caught the failure, and say what they would need to do differently.
Assess what the client's existing tools, including BigFix, can carry and what any replacement would have to do.
Write up findings a CTO can read
Requirements
Owned the full device lifecycle at scale, thousands of endpoints: build and image, packaging, test, approval, release, deployment, verification, rollback, support.
Ran it, not managed the people who ran it.
Windows and Linux patching or imaging at scale.
The back-office PCs are Windows; the registers are Toshiba and likely Linux.
Has been on the fixing side of a rollout that went wrong.
Comfortable inside an unfamiliar, undocumented tool, learning it from the people who run it.
Preferred:
• Hands-on BigFix. The client owns it.
• SUSE Multi-Linux Manager or another Linux patching platform (Puppet, Ansible, Salt, SUSE Manager).
• Retail store systems or POS experience. Toshiba POS is a plus
