In addition, the role drives implementation of automated solutions and operational improvements via PowerShell scripting.

Major Responsibilities

• Create, maintain, and lifecycle-manage application packages (Win32/MSI/MSIX) for deployment via Microsoft Intune and Matrix42 Empirum
• Define and enforce packaging standards (naming, detection rules, requirements, supersedence, uninstall, versioning) and ensure high-quality, silent and GUI installs
• Operate and maintain the Empirum platform (e.g., server components, distribution, policies, inventory, patch/app deployment) for Windows-based shopfloor systems
• Manage and further develop FastViewer as the cross-platform remote control solution (configuration, access concepts, troubleshooting, updates)
• Design and implement automation and self-service improvements using PowerShell (packaging automation, health checks, reporting, remediation)
• Coordinate with application owners and IT stakeholders to clarify requirements, testing, rollout planning, and release communication
• Troubleshoot application installation issues and deployment failures (Intune/Empirum client side and backend) and provide root-cause analysis
• Maintain technical documentation (packaging guides, runbooks, standards) and ensure auditable, reproducible deployments
• Provide 2nd and 3rd level support for packaging/platform topics and collaborate with global/local IT for stable operations
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives (standardization, automation, monitoring, KPI/reporting) across Modern Workplace services
• Participation in on-call rotation (if required) and support during maintenance windows
  
  

Knowledge and Education

• Preferably Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology or a relevant field.
• Completed education of a technical college.
  
  

Work Experience And Skills

• 2–3+ years of experience in application packaging and software deployment in enterprise environments via MS Intune
• Hands-on skills with packaging formats and tooling (MSI, MSIX, Win32 apps, InstallShield) including scripting for silent installs and uninstall
• PS App Deployment Toolkit experience advantageous
• Strong Windows client knowledge (Windows 11) and understanding of shopfloor (production) requirements (stability, controlled changes, limited downtime)
• Experience operating and troubleshooting Empirum components (agents, distribution, policies, inventories, deployment logs) advantageous
• Experience with remote support / remote control platforms (preferably FastViewer) and troubleshooting distributed endpoints
• Good understanding of software deployment concepts (detection methods, dependencies, supersedence, compliance, ring-based rollouts) and log-based troubleshooting
• Very good PowerShell scripting skills to implement automation (packaging helpers, deployments, remediation scripts, reporting) and to integrate with APIs where required
  
  

Other Competencies

• Positive attitude and a strong commitment to delivering quality work.
• Knowledge of client lifecycle management systems and current computing trends.
• Effective English communication skills (written and verbal) to properly articulate complicated technical matters to management, IT partners and the end users
• Can work independently or part of a team.
• Conform with and abide by all Company codes, regulations, policies, values, work procedures and instructions.
