• Design and maintain endpoint configurations that uphold BIW security and data-protection requirements, and follow established procedures when handling hardware, media, and sensitive data.
• Project Execution:
• Design client device images and standardized build configurations for laptops, desktops, and mobile devices, and set the standards Endpoint Engineer III builds and maintains.
• Own the architecture and configuration of enterprise endpoint management tooling and MDM, including software deployment, patching, compliance, reporting, and mobile device policy design.
• Set the automation strategy for the endpoint estate and develop and maintain PowerShell frameworks that streamline deployments, updates, and routine endpoint tasks.
• Design endpoint security hardening standards in alignment with BIW security policy, including antivirus, encryption, patching, and vulnerability remediation approach.
• Own the endpoint lifecycle roadmap and coordinate hardware refresh and operating system upgrade strategy across the estate.
• Other duties as assigned.
• Training and Development:
• Maintain and document advanced, current knowledge of endpoint platforms, management tools, and security practices. Pursue and obtain relevant certifications.
• Mentor Endpoint Engineer III's, provide L3 technical direction to the desktop and mobility technicians, and develop and publish SOPs that raise team capability.
• Team Collaboration and Communication:
• Serve as the final internal escalation point for complex hardware, operating system, and application issues, including architecture-level and undocumented issues raised by Endpoint Engineer III's; perform root-cause analysis and coordinate vendor engagement when required.
• Partner at an architectural level with the Infrastructure, Security, and Service Desk teams on projects, standards, and endpoint roadmap.
• Communicate complex technical decisions and trade-offs clearly to stakeholders at all levels, from technicians to senior management.
• Continuous Improvement:
• Set the direction for endpoint standards, build processes, and tooling improvements, and prioritize the automation backlog for the Endpoint Engineering team.
• Own the Endpoint Engineering team’s technical documentation, standard operating procedures, and knowledge base library, and review contributions from Endpoint Engineer I to maintain overall quality.
