End User Compute (EUC) Architect

job Title: End User Compute (EUC) Architect

Location:  Columbus, New Jersey, Plano

Duration: Contract (Long term)

Key responsibilities

• Design and stand up the dedicated Omnissa Access 26.07 cluster designated for MEPS+ Browse access only, publishing the single Access cluster URL that endpoints target.
• Design the Horizon Broker 2603 configuration and publish Edge.exe as the SecureEdgeForMEPS+ application, so users see a single launch icon after authentication.
• Design and size the Windows Server 2025 hosting pool (the 1..X load-balanced servers) for concurrent MEPS+ demand with N+1 resilience headroom.
• Create the global entitlement that spans the two Horizon PODs so the published app is resilient across BAS and FAR data centres.
• Define the endpoint experience: the additional desktop icon / URL on the 20–30 dedicated thin clients and the local-browser launch to the Access URL.
• Work with the Security Architect to apply the Edge managed-browser lockdown that constrains the session to MEPS+ Browse.
• Produce build sheets, test plans (including POD/data-centre failover) and operational runbooks; lead functional and resilience testing and the pilot.
• Own the migration approach from the existing CVAD browse path and the cutover/rollback plan.

Essential skills & experience

• Deep, hands-on architecture experience with VDI / published-application platforms — Omnissa Horizon (formerly VMware Horizon) and/or Citrix CVAD.
• Practical knowledge of Omnissa Access (Workspace ONE Access lineage) or equivalent access/gateway layers, including resource entitlement and publishing.
• Multi-POD / multi-site Horizon design, global entitlements and load-balanced RDSH/app pools.
• Windows Server 2025 (or recent Server) session-host / RDSH build and application publishing.
• Capacity sizing, image/golden-master management and application delivery for published apps.
• Experience delivering into regulated / secure environments with strict change control.

Desirable

• Prior SWIFT / secure financial-messaging or other high-assurance delivery experience.
• Automation of build and configuration (PowerShell / infrastructure-as-code).
• Experience migrating from CVAD to Omnissa Horizon.
