- Maintain architectural documentation, system configurations, device management policies, and change procedures to support knowledge transfer and audit readiness.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team capability through training, process improvement, and best practices adoption.

Job Complexity Leads technically complex systems engineering projects across multiple platforms, critical systems, and large-scale endpoint environments. Serves as a subject matter expert and trusted advisor on systems reliability, device compliance, security, and scalability.
