Project Overview:

You will join an elite infrastructure engineering team supporting a global semiconductor manufacturing project. The focus is on end-to-end enterprise storage operations, enhancements, and complex issue resolution in a hybrid AWS cloud environment. As a Level 3 NetApp NAS Storage Engineer, you will act as a technical SME for escalations, design improvements, automation initiatives, and critical incident recovery.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead complex NetApp ONTAP infrastructure operations: upgrades, reconfiguration, patching, HA testing, and DR validation.
• Implement advanced CIFS/NFS solutions, including protocol optimization, access control, replication, and performance tuning.
• Perform deep-dive diagnostics and root cause analysis for system, storage, and protocol-level issues in ONTAP CDOT environments.
• Manage and configure NetApp FAS and AFF systems, Storage Virtual Machines (SVMs), volumes, aggregates, and snapshots.
• Implement and support automount/autofs setups integrated with enterprise authentication systems (LDAP, Kerberos).
• Integrate and automate storage operations using Python, Ansible, and Terraform for provisioning, backups, and compliance tasks.
• Engage in capacity planning, performance analysis, and lifecycle management of enterprise storage infrastructure.
• Collaborate with Linux, Cloud, Backup (Commvault) and Network teams on cross-functional incidents and architecture alignment.
• Contribute and create new standard operating procedures (SOPs), and drive automation initiatives.
