Princeton Group

We are seeking a highly detail-oriented Deployment Hardware Technician to support end-user technology across a fast-paced private equity environment. This role is responsible for the imaging, deployment, lifecycle management, and optimization of hardware within a Microsoft Windows ecosystem, ensuring seamless delivery of technology to investment professionals and business teams. This individual will operate in a high-performance, low-latency environment where reliability, speed, and precision are critical to business success.

Key Responsibilities

• Configure, image, and deploy Windows-based endpoints (laptops, desktops, trading floor setups) using standardized build processes
• Manage hardware lifecycle: procurement support, asset tagging, inventory tracking, refresh cycles, and secure decommissioning
• Execute zero-touch / low-touch deployments leveraging tools such as Microsoft Endpoint Manager, Autopilot, and imaging solutions
• Troubleshoot hardware and OS-level issues (drivers, BIOS/firmware, peripherals, docking stations, multi-monitor setups)
• Support executive and investment teams with white-glove desk setups, office moves, and rapid onboarding
• Maintain and improve deployment workflows through PowerShell scripting and automation
• Ensure compliance with security standards including patching, encryption, and endpoint hardening
• Collaborate with infrastructure, security, and networking teams to ensure consistent endpoint performance and connectivity
• Document build standards, deployment procedures, and asset management practices

Required Qualifications

• 1 - 3 years of experience in hardware deployment, desktop engineering, or IT support within a Windows environment
• Strong experience with Windows 10/11 imaging, deployment, and troubleshooting
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Intune and/or Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager
• Familiarity with Azure AD / Entra ID, group policies, and endpoint security controls
• Experience supporting high-demand users (finance, trading floor, or executive environments preferred)
• Solid understanding of hardware components (CPU, RAM, storage, peripherals) and troubleshooting techniques
• Basic scripting experience (PowerShell preferred) for automation and deployment efficiency

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in private equity, hedge fund, or financial services environments
• Exposure to MDM/MAM, endpoint security tools, and compliance frameworks
• Familiarity with asset management systems and ITIL-based processes
• Experience supporting multi-site or global office deployments

What Makes This Role Different

• Direct support of investment professionals where uptime and speed matter
• High visibility—your work directly impacts onboarding, productivity, and trading readiness
• Lean team environment with ownership over the full device lifecycle
• Opportunity to modernize deployment practices (automation, cloud-first endpoint management)

Ideal Candidate Profile

Someone who:

• Takes pride in clean, consistent builds and efficient deployments
• Moves with urgency but doesn’t sacrifice quality
• Understands that in a PE environment, downtime = real financial impact
• Is proactive about improving processes, not just executing them
