A fairly straight forward achievement which can be unlocked when you arrive at the planet Jemison at New Atlantis base. (You can do this at any planet which has a space port and technician - this is just the first place you can unlock this achievement).
When you land you can speak to the Ship Service Technician. You have multiple dialogue options.
Say "I'd like to view/modify my ship"
This is where you'll come across upgrades for your ship and be able to build your own ship.
Press "A" to access Upgrade Shop. Now choose something you want to upgrade. This can vary from weapons, engines and shields.
As soon as you purchase something, achievement will unlock.
EDIT - Renki has commented you can just change the paint of a part and unlock the achievement without even having to spend credits.

If you travel to a major city (such as New Atlantis), when you land there will be a Ship Service Technician close to where you land

Where abouts are they located if you are past this part?

Rather easy achievement, this. All you need to do to get it is to modify a ship, which can be done by visiting a Ship Services Technician, who are available at not only every major city, but most major settlements too.
The Ship Services Technician is usually found near the space port, whether stood by the Trade Authority kiosk in New Atlantis, or in his own little hut near the Akila City main gates on Akila. There’s one in most large places, you might just need to look for them. And like I said, they’re not just at major cities, but major settlements too: for instance, both Gagarin Landing on Gagarin in Alpha Centauri and the Red Mile on Porrima III in Porrima have one too.
Once you’ve found one, approach them, and say “I’d like to view and modify my ships,” and then, in the next screen, hit
to open up the Ship Builder, where you can add and subtract parts to/from your ship. Make a change, save it, and get this achievement - you may as well add more storage, as it always helps.
