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.

• 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 (Win
  32 apps, MSI, MSIX where appropriate) and deployment workflows.
• Build automation using Power Shell 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., Bit Locker, 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.

• 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,…
