Job description

Overview

About Us

Working across the globe, V2X builds smart solutions designed to integrate physical and digital infrastructure from base to battlefield. We bring 120 years of successful mission support to improve security, streamline logistics, and enhance readiness. Aligned around a shared purpose, our $4.5B company and 16,000 people work alongside our clients, here and abroad, to tackle their most complex challenges with integrity, respect, responsibility, and professionalism.

Responsibilities

What You'll Do

• The AI-Ready Endpoint & MDM Engineer is a technical role responsible for the evaluation, operation, maintenance, security, and evolution of the global endpoint environment. Reporting to the Director of AI-Ready Endpoint Infrastructure & Security, this engineer will utilize agentic AI and modern configuration management to automate the administration of the company’s unified endpoint ecosystem. This role provides engineering and development across multiple Mobile Device Management (MDM) platforms (Intune, Jamf, Google MDM, Automox) and cloud workspace solutions, including Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) managed via Nerdio. The engineer ensures all endpoints are hardened, compliant, and continuously prepared to serve as secure platforms for both human users and AI workloads, while applying FinOps principles to optimize cloud performance and financial efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

• Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) & Cloud Workspace Management
  • Architect, deploy, and manage Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) environments purpose-built to support multiple user personas, tailoring compute, storage, and application delivery to distinct organizational roles and workload requirements.
  • Utilize Nerdio Manager for Enterprise to centrally manage AVD deployments, automate image staging, and streamline the provisioning of Windows cloud desktops and remote applications.
  • Maintain operating efficiency and stability for remote desktop services and Azure VDI Desktops, ensuring secure, high-performance remote access.
• FinOps & Infrastructure Cost Optimization
  • Implement FinOps best practices by leveraging Nerdio's advanced auto-scaling capabilities to dynamically adjust active session host VMs based on real-time user demand, significantly reducing monthly Azure compute and storage costs.
  • Balance infrastructure cost optimization with a seamless user experience by configuring hybrid auto-scaling strategies that combine proactive schedule-based scaling (pre-warming capacity) with reactive performance-based scaling (CPU/memory triggers).
  • Optimize storage expenditures by automating OS disk downgrades for non-persistent machines during idle periods and utilizing "Start on Connect" logic for personal 1:1 assigned desktops.
• Unified Endpoint & MDM Engineering
  • Develop, deploy, and maintain management software and systems across a diverse global fleet of endpoints, including Windows 11 PCs, MacBooks, Chromebooks, Windows Servers, RHEL servers, Android, and iOS devices.
  • Configure and optimize enterprise MDM platforms (Microsoft Intune, Jamf, Google MDM, and Automox) to enforce configuration baselines and compliance policies.
  • Manage Operating System Deployment (OSD) task sequences, OS images, and automated software packaging pipelines for complex, multi-platform environments.
• Agentic AI, Automation & Patch Management
  • Leverage agentic AI workflows to automate device lifecycle management, from zero-touch provisioning and onboarding to offboarding and secure decommission.
  • Integrate intelligent agents to monitor endpoint health, interpret compliance data, and execute self-healing remediations autonomously across the MDM infrastructure.
  • Manage the testing and deployment of third-party patching, as well as workstation and server security, feature, and quality updates across all operating systems.
• Governance & Support
  • Gather information and implement policies required for legal and regulatory compliance, such as CMMC Level 2 and NIST 800-171 controls.
  • Prioritize and respond to requests for service, providing Tier 3 escalation support and guidance to global endpoint support staff in remote locations.
