Description

Empower AI is seeking an Endpoint Engineer - Classified Enclaves to engineer and sustain the endpoint infrastructure on the SIPRNet and JWICS enclaves of a Department of War agency, where the same standards of automation, hardening, and RMF compliance apply but tooling, connectivity, and handling procedures differ. The engineer operates the classified-enclave endpoint management infrastructure (e.g., MECM/SCCM), engineers and validates hardened images and Group Policy baselines, executes CAT I/II/III patching within enclave constraints, supports classified VDI and cross-domain considerations, and produces RMF evidence for the classified endpoint systems.

This TS/SCI privileged-user role is the Tier III escalation point for classified endpoint incidents. This is a salaried, FLSA-exempt position in which you will independently analyze situations, determine the appropriate course of action, and exercise discretion and independent judgment on matters of significance to the program and its customers.

• Serve as the Tier III escalation point for classified-enclave endpoint incidents and coordinate with the enclave network, cybersecurity, and communications teams.
• Lead the engineering design, implementation, and lifecycle of the enterprise endpoint infrastructure: hardened image pipelines, automated provisioning, endpoint management platform architecture (MECM/SCCM, Intune), configuration baselines, and VDI integration across all enclaves.
• Lead the evaluation, cost-benefit analysis, and phased implementation of the Digital Twin capability for network and system modeling; author the Digital Twin Evaluation and Implementation Plan; and establish the practice that every significant change is tested in the digital replica before deployment.
• Lead engineering for AI, automation, and analytics initiatives approved by the Government, including predictive analytics on service data, intelligent automation across support tiers, and integrations with the ITSM platform, and deliver Proof of Concept Reports documenting feasibility, risks, and benefits.
