About the Role
The Linux Desktop Engineer will design, deploy, configure, and maintain Celestica's high-performance Linux computing platform, supporting the Hardware Platform Solutions (HPS) engineering group. This role manages a fleet of approximately 50 HP ZBook Mobile Workstations optimized for AI-based software development, utilizing HCL BigFix for endpoint management.
Responsibilities
- Own the baseline golden imaging, mass deployment, and configuration maintenance of the HP ZBook workstation fleet utilizing HCL BigFix.
- Architect and deploy automated, silent installation packages for all enterprise and custom engineering endpoint software via BigFix fixlets.
- Install and administer Celestica’s standard security applications, including CrowdStrike Falcon, ThreatLocker, and Zscaler ZPA.
- Configure application controls specifically for the engineering developer workspace, deploying ThreatLocker in a persistent Learning Mode with dedicated sandbox path exceptions.
- Implement and maintain required anti-malware scan exclusions across engineering build paths.
- Support and execute monthly operating system and application patching cycles, ensuring critical security patches are vetted and pushed within a 24-hour window.
- Administer scoped sudo access on developer workstations using secure alternative authentication models and manage compliance audits via session recording tools.
- Act as the primary technical interface for HPS Software Engineers, ensuring local access to build essentials, containerization software, and integrated development environments.
Requirements
- Expert-level administration of native Ubuntu Linux (specifically 22.04 LTS and 24.04 LTS Desktop environments).
- Deep technical expertise using HCL BigFix for software asset tracking, package packaging, enterprise scripting, and automated deployment.
- Direct experience administering patches and Fixlets for enterprise security suites: CrowdStrike Falcon, ThreatLocker (including allowlisting/ringfencing policy adjustments), and Zscaler ZPA.
- Familiarity supporting low-level compilation workflows and toolchains: build essentials (GCC, Clang, CMake, Rust/cargo), Python 3.10+, Docker CE, MicroK8s/Kind, and VS Code.
- Advanced proficiency in Bash or Python scripting to automate workstation configuration, environment provisioning, and repetitive IT administrative tasks.
- Experience configuring high-density workstations (such as the HP ZBook Fury series), including managing system BIOS updates and optimizing dedicated NVIDIA hardware driver profiles.
- Possesses an intense focus on minimizing developer friction, reducing environment downtime, and protecting the engineer's flow state.
- Exceptional diplomatic and relationship-building skills to successfully co-develop frameworks with Global Information Security and remote site infrastructure divisions.
- Proven ability to troubleshoot unique, non-standard software-hardware boundary failures that fall outside typical corporate enterprise IT ticketing scripts.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Information Systems.
- Minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience supporting specialized R&D or engineering IT environments.
