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

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
