Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Desktop Engineer to manage and evolve our enterprise endpoint environment-covering Windows devices, desktop applications, security configuration, imaging/provisioning, and lifecycle management. This role will focus heavily on modern endpoint management practices using Microsoft Intune, Windows Autopilot, and cloud-first deployment/patching strategies, while maintaining and integrating with SCCM as needed.

The ideal candidate has hands-on expertise in automated software packaging, application deployment at scale, software licensing/compliance, asset tracking, and endpoint security baselines. You will also contribute to systems architecture, helping design and implement innovative solutions based on leading-edge technologies.

Key Tasks & Responsibilities (Essential Functions)
  • Engineer, deploy, and support enterprise endpoints using Microsoft Intune (Configuration Profiles, Compliance Policies, Conditional Access alignment, app deployment).
  • Design and operationalize Windows Autopilot for zero-touch provisioning, including device enrollment, profile design, and deployment workflows.
  • Implement and manage Windows Intune-based patching strategies, including ring design, deadlines, feature update controls, notifications and reporting (experience patching through AUTOMOX a plus).
  • Maintain integration and co-management practices between SCCM and Intune, optimizing for cloud-first where possible.
  • Create, test, and maintain automated application packages (Win32 apps, MSI, MSIX where appropriate) and deployment workflows.
  • Build automation using PowerShell and/or other scripting tools to streamline installs, configurations, remediations, and reporting.
  • Troubleshoot complex deployment failures and endpoint configuration issues across diverse hardware and user profiles.
  • Support software lifecycle management: inventory, metering/usage signals, licensing alignment, and compliance reporting.
  • Ensure accurate asset tracking, entitlement validation, and audit readiness.
  • Produce compliance dashboards and executive-ready reporting (patch compliance, encryption coverage, endpoint health KPIs).
  • Implement endpoint hardening aligned to organizational standards (e.g., BitLocker, CIS Level 1 policies).
  • Partner with security teams to respond to endpoint vulnerabilities and to drive remediation at scale.
  • Support endpoint provisioning approaches, including legacy SCCM imaging, with a focus on modern provisioning through Autopilot.
  • Troubleshoot hardware/software issues that require engineering-level analysis beyond standard service desk playbooks.
  • Participate in systems architecture discussions; propose and implement new endpoint solutions leveraging modern technologies.
  • Build technical documentation, runbooks, and knowledge articles for support and operations teams.
  • Identify opportunities for standardization, automation, self-service, and cost optimization.
Skills and Minimum Experience Required
  • 5+ years of experience in enterprise desktop engineering / endpoint management.
  • Strong hands-on experience with:
    • Microsoft Intune (app deployment, policy configuration, compliance, reporting)
    • Windows Autopilot (deployment profiles, enrollment strategies, provisioning)
    • SCCM (application deployment, collections, task sequences, reporting)
    • Patching through Intune (rings, feature updates, compliance reporting)
  • Proven experience creating and managing automated software packages.
  • Strong working knowledge of Windows (Windows 10/11) and MacOS, device configuration, and troubleshooting
  • Scripting/automation skills-PowerShell required; ability to build scalable remediation and deployment scripts.
  • Practical understanding of software licensing, inventory/asset concepts, and compliance reporting.
  • Experience with endpoint security controls (BitLocker, CIS Level 1, hardening baselines).
  • Strong documentation and communication skills; able to translate technical designs into clear operational procedures.
  • Ability to effectively collaborate within environments utilizing role-based access controls, demonstrating productivity and accountability without requiring full administrative privileges to all systems.
  • Ability to work effectively across teams and maintain positive, professional relationships in a team-oriented environment.

The range for this position is $83,300.00 to $164,400.00. Placement within this range may vary, depending on the applicant's experience and geographic location.
