Role: End User Compute (EUC) Architect
Location: Columbus, New Jersey, Plano (Need Local Candidates only)
Omnissa Access cluster, Horizon Broker, Secure Edge For MEPS+ published app, Windows 2025 hosting pool, global entitlement, endpoints
Role purpose
Own the end-to-end virtual application design that delivers MEPS+ Browse to users. You are accountable for the Omnissa Access cluster, the Horizon brokering layer, the SecureEdgeForMEPS+ published application and the Windows Server 2025 hosting pool — and for making the service resilient across two Horizon PODs and two data centres. You translate the requirements into a buildable design, lead the build with the platform engineers, and hand a stable service to operations.
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.
