● 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.
