Endpoint Engineer - AI Desktop Deployment (R-00193)

The Endpoint Engineer – AI Desktop Deployment is responsible for designing, deploying, securing, and maintaining enterprise Windows endpoints that support AI-enabled desktop capabilities in highly regulated, government, and Zero Trust environments. This role combines traditional Windows desktop engineering with modern endpoint management, security compliance, application deployment, performance optimization, and device health monitoring.

The engineer will work closely with cybersecurity, cloud, identity, infrastructure, and application teams to ensure endpoints are secure, compliant, performant, and ready to support AI-enabled applications and workloads. The ideal candidate has strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Endpoint Manager, Windows 10/11, Group Policy, application packaging, and Zero Trust endpoint controls.

Government Cloud & Zero Trust Responsibilities

• Implement and maintain device compliance and Conditional Access controls supporting the Zero Trust device pillar.
• Engineer, deploy, and maintain STIG-compliant endpoint security baselines for Windows systems.
• Apply and maintain DISA STIG, organizational security baseline, and applicable federal endpoint-hardening requirements.
• Configure Intune compliance policies, configuration profiles, endpoint security policies, and security baselines for government environments.
• Support endpoint-management capabilities within applicable Microsoft Government Cloud environments, including GCC, GCC High, or related environments as required.
• Integrate endpoint posture and device-compliance signals with identity and access-control solutions.
• Ensure only authorized, managed, compliant, and appropriately secured devices can access protected enterprise resources.
• Implement endpoint controls supporting Zero Trust principles including device identity, continuous verification, least privilege, and risk-based access.
• Coordinate with identity teams on Microsoft Entra ID device registration, join models, Conditional Access, and authentication requirements.
• Support Microsoft Defender for Endpoint or equivalent endpoint detection, security telemetry, vulnerability-management, and response capabilities.
• Remediate endpoint vulnerabilities, configuration findings, compliance exceptions, and security control deficiencies.
• Assist with evidence collection and technical documentation supporting security assessments, audits, authorization activities, and continuous monitoring.
• Support endpoint configurations aligned with applicable NIST, FISMA, FedRAMP, CISA, DoD, or agency-specific security requirements, as applicable to the environment.
