Job description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Design Desk Engineer based in France.

Join a technical engineering team responsible for transforming client business needs and technical requirements into reliable, implementation-ready IT solutions.

You will also use approved AI-assisted tools to improve the speed and quality of engineering deliverables while maintaining responsibility for technical validation. Working closely with stakeholders and technical teams, you will help streamline workflows, strengthen documentation standards, and continuously improve the design process.

Accountabilities:

You will own design requests from initial review through final documentation, ensuring that proposed solutions meet business objectives, technical standards, and implementation requirements.

• Translate client requirements and vCIO strategies into solution architectures and implementation-ready documentation.
• Develop technical proposals, Statements of Work (SOWs), workplans, business requirements, desired outcomes, assumptions, exclusions, dependencies, prerequisites, and milestones.

• Validate relevant environment details, including users, workstations, mailboxes, servers, locations, and supporting documentation.
• Maintain clear ownership of assigned requests, documenting status, schedules, decisions, blockers, next steps, and stakeholder communications.
• Communicate delays, scheduling changes, and issues that could affect project delivery or stakeholder expectations.
• Participate in request triage, workload reviews, operational activities, and KPI monitoring.
• Prepare for and support vCIO discussions by documenting requirements, assumptions, risks, expected outcomes, and follow-up actions.
• Use approved templates, previous examples, vendor documentation, technical references, and internal knowledge resources to develop solutions.
• Apply approved AI-assisted engineering tools to accelerate proposal and design development while independently validating all generated content.
• Identify and correct technical inaccuracies, unsupported recommendations, scope gaps, and documentation issues before deliverables are released.
• Contribute to improving templates, intake forms, design libraries, validation procedures, prompts, automation workflows, and engineering standards.
• Maintain detailed records that enable other engineers to understand request history, current status, previous actions, blockers, and next steps.

Requirements:

The ideal candidate combines broad IT engineering knowledge with strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills.
