Valida Tek is seeking a highly motivated, experienced Image Management Subject Matter Expert (SME) to support a large-scale enterprise endpoint migration from an on-premises Windows 11 environment to a Microsoft Intune–managed Azure AD environment. This role is highly hands‑on and focused on implementing a wipe‑and‑reload device migration strategy using MECM/MCM task sequences, custom backup and recovery scripts, and automated registration in Intune.

The Image Management SME will play a critical role in image engineering, automation, application deployment, and migration execution, ensuring a consistent and repeatable onboarding experience across thousands of devices.

• Lead and execute large‑scale device reimaging and onboarding efforts.

• Design, maintain, and optimize MECM/MCM task sequences supporting wipe‑and‑reload migrations.

• Develop, maintain, and troubleshoot Power Shell scripts for device backup, user data recovery, validation, and automated Intune registration.

• Integrate MECM/MCM imaging workflows with Azure AD join and Intune enrollment.

• Engineer and migrate applications for deployment during imaging and post‑enrollment phases.

• Import, test, and deploy enterprise applications while minimizing end‑user disruption.

• Support Autopilot and manual enrollment workflows as fallback mechanisms.

• Provide SME‑level support during migration waves, cutovers, and post‑migration stabilization.

• Troubleshoot complex imaging, enrollment, application deployment, and policy issues.

• Develop detailed technical documentation, imaging runbooks, rollback procedures, and operational guides.

• Collaborate with engineering, security, networking, and service desk teams.

• Track progress, risks, and issues associated with mass device migrations.

• Ensure scalability, reliability, and repeatability of imaging and onboarding processes.

• Active DoD Secret Clearance, with Top Secret eligibility
• BS degree and 8+ years of Windows systems administration/engineering experience. Experience can be substituted in lieu of degree
• CompTIA Security + CE or equivalent IAT Level II DoD 8570 certification
