Windows 11 Image Engineering SME - AWS WorkSpaces
Remote
6 month contract engagement

CDW is seeking a Windows 11 Image Engineering Subject Matter Expert to design, secure, and operationalize golden images for AWS WorkSpaces in a large enterprise environment. This role is hands-on and technically deep, focused on image engineering, identity integration, security hardening, and lifecycle management-not end?user support.

This individual will own the Windows 11 image lifecycle end?to?end, ensuring optimized performance, secure access, and seamless integration with enterprise identity and authentication services.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain Windows 11 golden images/templates for AWS WorkSpaces
  • Package, install, and validate enterprise applications and security tools within base images
  • Define and execute image lifecycle processes (versioning, patching, testing, and release management)
  • Integrate images with Active Directory and enterprise identity services
  • Configure and manage Group Policy (GPOs) aligned to security and user experience requirements
  • Implement and validate MFA and SSO within the virtual desktop environment
  • Optimize images for performance, login times, stability, and resource usage
  • Apply security hardening standards (CIS benchmarks, enterprise policies)
  • Support automation for image deployment, updates, and maintenance
  • Partner with security, identity, and application teams to ensure compatibility and compliance

Required Skills & Experience
  • Strong hands-on expertise with Windows 11 OS deployment, configuration, and optimization
  • Proven experience creating and maintaining golden images in enterprise environments
  • Solid knowledge of Active Directory (GPOs, OU design, authentication flows)
  • Experience integrating MFA and identity services within Windows desktop environments
  • Application packaging and deployment experience (MSI, scripting, Intune, SCCM)
  • Experience managing OS patching and image lifecycle processes
  • Familiarity with profile management solutions (e.g., FSLogix)
  • Understanding of SSO integration with Microsoft 365, OneDrive, and SaaS applications
  • Hands-on experience with AWS WorkSpaces image customization and optimization

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with endpoint management platforms (Intune, SCCM, or similar)
  • PowerShell scripting or automation experience
  • Background supporting VDI environments (AWS WorkSpaces, Citrix, VMware Horizon, Nutanix)


What This Role Is (and Is Not)
? Deep image engineering and Windows platform ownership
? Enterprise security and identity integration focus
? Not a help desk or desktop support role
