This role is critical in supporting a modern and secure endpoint experience and will be central to the transition from traditional Windows-based Thin Clients to Linux-based HP ThinPro Zero Clients.
The ideal candidate is a self-starter, obsessed with optimization and user experience, and constantly seeking ways to improve efficiency, performance, and security across the thin client landscape. This role is not just about patching devices; it’s about ensuring they operate at peak performance, meeting security standards, and provide an exceptional user experience.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the administration and automation of enterprise-wide thin client endpoints using HP Device Manager (HPDM).
Drive the migration from Windows-based thin clients to HP ThinPro Linux zero clients, collaborating closely with the SCCM/MECM team.
Develop and maintain automation scripts, deployment workflows, and configuration standards for thin clients.
Monitor endpoint performance and work with the Performance Monitoring Team to identify and resolve user experience or system degradation issues.
Ensure thin clients remain fully patched, secure, and compliant with enterprise standards and policies.
Work across IT teams to integrate thin clients into the broader enterprise ecosystem, including VDI, networking, and identity/access systems.
Continuously evaluate and implement improvements to management processes, system configurations, and user experience.
Maintain documentation of systems, processes, and configurations.
What You’ll Need to Succeed Education:
Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science
Experience:
5+ years of related experience supporting and managing thin client environments
Technical Skills
Hands‑on experience with HP Device Manager (HPDM) or similar thin client management platforms.
Familiarity with ThinPro Linux OS, including custom imaging, automation, and scripting.
Working knowledge of endpoint security, patching, and compliance management practices.
Ability to create and manage custom device configurations and automate deployments at scale.
Role Requirements
Strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to work independently in a fast‑paced environment.
Excellent communication skills with a focus on collaboration, documentation, and cross‑team alignment.
Must be willing to support an on‑call rotation.
Security clearance level: TS/SCI w/Poly.
