• Serve as an application owner and subject matter expert for assigned platforms, supporting configuration, updates, and ongoing operations.
• Identify, test, and deploy software and firmware updates to remediate defects, address security vulnerabilities, and maintain vendor supportability.
• Design, build, and maintain endpoint health, compliance, patching, and security reports.
• Respond to endpoint-related incidents, deployment failures, and alerts by performing root cause analysis and coordinating remediation.
• Support vulnerability management and audit activities by providing accurate endpoint data, documentation, and evidence.
• Maintain clear, accurate technical documentation, standards, and procedures to support operational consistency and scalability.
