Description

Empower AI is seeking a MECM / SCCM Engineer to engineer and operate the Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager infrastructure that manages thousands of endpoints for a Department of War agency across Pre-Production, NIPRNet, SIPRNet, and JWICS enclaves. The engineer designs and maintains the MECM hierarchy, distribution points, boundaries, collections, client health, and reporting; engineers automated patch and software deployment, task sequences, and PXE provisioning;

and validates every significant change in pre-production and the Digital Twin environment before release. As a privileged user, the engineer is a Tier III escalation resource and a primary contributor to CAT I/II/III patch compliance and RMF evidence for the endpoint environment. 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.

THIS IS AN ONSITE ROLE IN QUANTICO, VA (RKB) WITH UP TO 10% OF TRAVEL INVOLVED.

JOB DUTIES:

• Engineer, operate, and maintain the MECM/SCCM infrastructure across enclaves: hierarchy and site health, distribution points, boundaries and boundary groups, collections, client health remediation, role-based administration, and reporting.
• Design and maintain automated deployment mechanisms (software update deployments, application deployments, task sequences, PXE/OSD provisioning) and analyze deployment results to resolve failures and improve success rates.
• Plan and validate MECM upgrades, client updates, and configuration changes in pre-production and the Digital Twin environment, and implement them through formal Change Management with rollback plans.
• Produce MECM compliance and deployment reporting (patch compliance, image deployment cycle time, client health) for the Customer Support Metrics Dashboard and provide artifacts supporting the endpoint POA&M.
• Design, engineer, test, and implement endpoint infrastructure solutions including hardened image pipelines, automated provisioning, configuration baselines, endpoint management platform enhancements, and VDI integration across multiple security enclaves.
• Support the evaluation and phased implementation of a Digital Twin capability for network and system modeling, including building and maintaining the pre-production replica, defining test procedures, and validating significant changes before production deployment.
• Develop engineering artifacts for Government approval: requirements, design documents, test plans and results, implementation and rollback plans, change packages, and as-built documentation.
• Engineer and integrate automation, AI/ML, and analytics capabilities (e.g., predictive analytics on service data, automated remediation, Service Now integrations)…
