• Perform complete end‑to‑end packaging activities - source validation, build, testing, deployment, and production support
• Troubleshoot packaging and deployment issues using ProcMon, MSI verbose logging, and Windows Event Logs; identify root cause and implement corrective action quickly
• Query and modify Windows Registry as part of packaging and deployment workflows
• Participate in peer review of packages to ensure quality and consistency with project standards
• Ensure all prerequisites, dependencies, and organizational packaging/deployment standards are accounted for in every solution delivered.

Required Qualifications:

• 4–6+ years of hands‑on application packaging experience, including extensive use of Flexera AdminStudio.
• Knowledge of Active Directory, Microsoft Registry, and ability to query or modify settings.
• Experience using Flexera AdminStudio and Install Shield
• Demonstrated experience troubleshooting packaging issues using ProcMon, MSI logging, and Windows Event Logs.
• Deep familiarity with Windows Installer internals (MSI tables, custom actions, transforms, component rules, repair behavior, reboot handling, and logging)
• Knowledge of PowerShell and/or CMD scripting is essential.
• U.S. Citizen and the ability to achieve Public Trust Clearance at the Department of Veterans Affairs

Nice to have skills:

• Experience with PSADT (PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit)
• Experience with Intune/Entra for application and device management
• Prior experience supporting the Department of Veterans Affairs or another federal organization
• Demonstrated experience working in Scrum/Agile delivery environments

Preferred Qualifications:

• 3-5 years of IT system administration experience.
• Experience supporting Department of Veterans Affairs or other federal organizations
• Understanding of Windows Installer technology (custom actions, transforms, ICE validation, component rules, repair behavior, reboot handling, and logging).
• Experience testing, validating, and certifying Windows platform and application compatibility, including interoperability with technologies such as Citrix.
• Experience performing application performance analysis and troubleshooting using Microsoft and commercial toolsets to evaluate CPU, memory, disk I/O, network latency, and bandwidth utilization.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem‑solving skills with the ability to develop effective technical solutions.
• Excellent collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with customers, stakeholders, and cross‑functional teams in both independent and team‑based environments.
