Remote Operational Technology Engineer Jobs in Texas

About the Role

We're hiring an IT Engineer, Support to own endpoint management, device lifecycle, network support, and the onboarding/offboarding process as FSAI takes IT fully in-house. This is the most hands-on build-and-operate seat on the team: you're standing up device management and remote support tooling that will run the company day to day, and you're the one executing onboarding and offboarding for every new hire and departure. You report directly to the Head of IT and work closely with a Lead IT Engineer, Support who owns identity and security operations, so between the two of you, the full stack is covered.

Responsibilities

• Baseline and report on MDM enrollment, disk encryption, patch compliance, EDR coverage, and local admin exceptions across the full device fleet
• Define the minimum device compliance standard for company-managed endpoints, in partnership with Security

Device Security & Compliance Remediation

• Own our Zero Trust network access rollout (Cloudflare WARP/Access) and firewall, a full handover from our outsourced provider
• Partner with our outsourced provider on day-to-day switches, wireless, DNS, and SSL certificate management during the short-term transition period, with an eye toward bringing this fully in-house

Onboarding & Offboarding

• Own end-to-end execution of the onboarding and offboarding process: intake, provisioning across parallel tracks, and a day-before-start readiness check for every new hire
• Own account and device deprovisioning for departures
• Build the day-one onboarding checklist (accounts, laptop, apps, security, orientation) and the same-day offboarding checklist (access removal, device return, license recovery)
