Desktop & Imaging Solutions Engineer


We're seeking a highly skilled and self-motivated Desktop Engineer to play a pivotal role in our IT operations. This is a hybrid role based in Melville, NY, with a critical focus on remote imaging solutions, while also serving as a key resource in end-user support and service delivery.

This role combines Level 1 (L1) end-user support via Jira Service Management (JSM) tickets with Level 2 (L2) technical escalation support, ensuring a seamless, high-quality support experience for our global workforce. You will be equally comfortable managing frontline user requests as you are solving complex technical issues.

In this hardware-centric role, you'll be the expert behind our imaging solutions, from building and deploying new images to ensuring software security and optimal functionality across our enterprise. You'll also play a critical role in triaging, resolving, and escalating service requests, ensuring timely resolution and excellent user satisfaction.
 

What You'll Do:

Deliver End-User Support Excellence (L1 & L2):

  • Serve as a primary point of contact for L1 end-user support via Jira Service Management (JSM), handling ticket intake, triage, and resolution.
  • Provide prompt, professional, and customer-focused support for hardware, software, and access-related issues.
  • Resolve L1 issues independently and escalate more complex problems appropriately, while maintaining ownership through resolution.
  • Deliver Level 2 support for escalated issues, including in-depth troubleshooting across desktops, laptops, mobile devices, printers, and applications.
  • Ensure adherence to SLAs and ticket quality standards, including proper documentation, categorization, and communication.

Own Our Imaging Solutions:

  • Lead the creation, maintenance, and deployment of primary images from bare metal as new hardware models emerge.
  • Ensure secure, standardized, and efficient software distribution across the organization.

Master Remote Troubleshooting:

  • Diagnose and resolve issues using advanced remote support tools and techniques, minimizing downtime for remote employees.
  • Support a distributed workforce with a strong focus on first-contact resolution where possible.

Be the Go-To for Support:

  • Act as a trusted escalation point for complex technical issues beyond L1 capabilities.
  • Partner with other IT teams to resolve cross-functional issues efficiently.

Fortify Our Security:

  • Respond to alerts from SIEM and endpoint protection platforms.
  • Assist in endpoint hardening, patching, and vulnerability remediation.

Optimize & Improve Service Delivery:

  • Identify trends in ticket volume and recurring issues and recommend improvements to reduce incidents.
  • Continuously improve support workflows, automation opportunities, and knowledge base content.

Maintain Precision:

  • Track and update all incidents and service requests in Jira Service Management.
  • Maintain accurate documentation, asset inventory, and system records.

Empower Our Users:

  • Provide support for Office 365 applications, including CoPilot, Entra and Intune.
  • Manage user accounts, permissions, and access requests (Active Directory experience required)
  • Develop and maintain end-user documentation and self-service knowledge articles.

Collaborate & Grow:

  • Work effectively under pressure in a fast-paced environment.
  • Collaborate across IT and business teams.
  • Provide occasional after-hours support when required.

What You'll Bring:

  • 5+ years of progressive experience across desktop support, end-user support (L1), and advanced troubleshooting (L2).
  • Proven ability to manage high-volume ticket queues in a structured ITSM platform (JSM or similar).
  • Strong experience balancing user-facing support responsibilities with backend engineering tasks.
  • Proven expertise in remote imaging tools (e.g., AutiPilot,  MECM/SCCM, Ivanti, SmartDeploy).
  • Strong knowledge of Office 365 administration, including Intune, Entra and Exchange.
  • Strong knowledge of Active Directory
  • Solid understanding of Windows 11 deployment and management.
  • Experience with:
    • Software distribution and patch management
    • Endpoint security tools
    • Remote support technologies
  • Strong working knowledge of ITIL-based service delivery principles (incident, request, escalation management).
  • Excellent communication skills, with a focus on clarity and user experience.
  • A customer-first mindset with strong problem-solving and multitasking abilities.
  • Ability to operate effectively in a hybrid support model (L1 + L2).
  • Experience with AWS Workspaces / Virtual Desktop is a plus.
  • CompTIA A+ preferred.

Key Differentiator of This Role

$75,000 - $85,000 USD, commensurate with experience.
