Responsibilities:

• Locomotive Inventory And Availability - Provides locomotive management personnel with a running inventory of locomotives on the railroad Information concerning the transfer of locomotives in and out of shops/storage and the arrival at the service center is utilized for automatic update of the locomotive status and inventory.
• Locomotive Tracking - Enables locomotive managers to track locomotives across the system providing current status, location and current train tonnage and length (for assigned locomotives). Locomotive tracking is accomplished using AEI (Automatic Equipment Identification), GPS (Global Positioning Satellite), and train movements/events provided by other Confidential systems.
• Locomotive Power & Assignment - Using a display of power available at a location on the Locomotive Management Workstation, a locomotive can be assigned or planned to a train, assigned to division service, or flagged as being shopped or stored. Locomotive planned assignments are executed using events from AEI (raw reads), AEI/Work Orders, GPS, Crew calls, and train departures.
• Horsepower & Fuel Equalization - Horsepower hours are accumulated utilizing interchange information for foreign and system locomotives. Summarized horsepower hours as well as estimates of fuel remaining in locomotives are available to be provided to foreign carriers.
• Worked on Production Problems Tickets, providing fix for existing problems.
• The fix to these tickets are provided through complete Software Development life Cycle, starting from Requirement and Kickoff meeting (Conf- Call) with Users and testers who raised the ticket.
• Complete Impact and root cause analysis, Creation of High level Design documents and Technical Specification documents, Coding Unit testing and End to End System testing and Regression Testing.
• Involved in Requirement Capture Meetings with the Business Analysts for Enhancement projects and provide them information related to feasibility of the requirements and Initial high level estimate.
• Provided quality and quantify ideas to the team for improving the quality.
• Performed proactive root cause (technical) analysis of all identified issue by checking logs and engaging associate technical team involved to drive the issue to a resolution.
• Prepared the severity report for each and every reported incident with problem description, start and end time of the issue, root cause analysis details, priority, restoration, permanent fix, and system and customer impact information details.
• Followed up with associated technical teams to ensure a permanent fix for all issues.
• Supported release activities and also monitored system performance during release.
