Maintain OS and application patching, version control, and deployment workflows using approved enterprise tools such as Ivanti, KACE, Intune, GPO, JAMF, or equivalent.
Engineer and maintain logging, telemetry, monitoring, and audit capabilities to track endpoint activity, enrollment, user authentication, network access, and compliance posture.
Develop and execute validation testing after imaging or major patch cycles to confirm endpoint functionality, security agent health, authentication, and VDI connectivity.
Support the assessment, recommendation, implementation, validation workflow by producing Findings Reports, Remediation Plans, Validation Reports, and change documentation.
Create and maintain runbooks, technical standards, deployment procedures, rollback procedures, and engineering documentation for Service Desk and IRM teams.
Support engineering escalations arising from complex Endpoint, image, patching, telemetry, and device-management incidents.
