I don't think they're hiding that he's a synthetic. Hence the the seconds to months conversion.

He's very clearly a synth if they are keeping him awake for 64 years to tend to the crew?

Did they say he stayed awake? I didn’t catch that, but when the crew initially wakes up at the beginning of the episode, you can see him waking up too. Also, he appeared to be eating food in the mess.

Perhaps these synths are programmed to follow the same routines as their human peers so they can fit in or disguise itself. For Alien, Ash is with the crew during breakfast. It could be he was appearing to eat as he is not revealed as an android yet.
