Role & Responsibilities
The Senior Laboratory Desktop Engineer is a seasoned individual contributor who provides specialized end‑user computing services for laboratory and manufacturing environments, with emphasis on validated endpoints on the Manufacturing Controlled Network (MCN) and UK laboratory systems. The role ensures reliability, security, and compliance of lab workstations and instrument‑connected PCs through configuration, patching, GPOs, imaging, and lifecycle management. Operating with limited supervision, this role troubleshoots complex issues, supports inspections and audits, maintains audit‑ready documentation (e.g., CSV/GAMP5, 21 CFR Part 11, data integrity), and partners with QA, Lab Operations, and vendors to deliver stable, efficient, and compliant services.
What You’ll Do
* Monitor, configure, and maintain MCN and laboratory endpoints to sustain availability, performance, and security; perform routine health checks and preventative maintenance.
* Troubleshoot complex issues across OS, hardware, drivers, instrument connectivity, and networks; perform root cause analysis and implement corrective actions.
* Build and maintain gold images; manage deployments, software distribution, and patching (e.g., MECM/SCCM, WSUS/Intune where applicable) per change control.
* Design and maintain OU structure, GPOs, and access controls aligned to least privilege and segregation‑of‑duties requirements.
* Create/maintain validation documentation (URS, risk assessments, test scripts, reports) for validated PCs and instrument systems; support CSV per GAMP5 and data integrity (ALCOA+).
* Develop SOPs, work instructions, configuration baselines, and knowledge articles; ensure documentation is current, controlled, and audit‑ready.
* Support internal/external audits (e.g., QA, customer, FDA/EMA); provide objective evidence; address observations and CAPAs.
* Execute changes under ITIL and site governance; perform impact/risk assessments; plan back‑out/rollback; communicate stakeholder impacts.
* Partner with Lab Ops, QA, Automation/OT, Cybersecurity, and instrument vendors to coordinate installs, upgrades, and issue resolution; manage 3rd‑party service tickets/SLAs.
* Track SLAs/KPIs (e.g., MTTR, patch compliance, endpoint health); identify recurring issues; propose and implement process/automation improvements.
* And other duties assigned from time to time.

* Within the above, 5+ years supporting enterprise EUC/desktop engineering in cGMP or highly regulated environments, including validated lab/manufacturing PCs and instrument‑connected systems on segregated networks (e.g., MCN).
* Demonstrated hands‑on experience with MECM/SCCM, Windows 10/11, AD/GPO, endpoint security, imaging, and patch orchestration on segregated networks (e.g., MCN).
