End User Compute (EUC) Architect @ Columbus, OH, Jersey City, NJ, Plano, TX

Hello,

Hope you are doing well,

Title: End User Compute (EUC) Architect

Location: Columbus, OH, Jersey City, NJ, Plano, TX

Duration: 12 Months

Must Need: 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.
