Windows System Engineer | 1081
Intetics Inc., a global technology company providing custom software application development, distributed professional teams, software product quality assessment, and "all-things-digital" solutions, is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Windows System Engineer to join our dynamic team on a full-time basis.
We are looking for an experienced Windows System Engineer with a strong background in embedded and industrial computing to configure, harden, and customize Windows for a dedicated kiosk‑mode industrial product. The role involves preparing a locked‑down Windows environment running a Unity‑based application, managing custom DLLs, and orchestrating Python-based services — all deployed on an industrial‑grade single‑board.
Key Responsibilities
- Full OS Configuration: Owning the pipeline from a clean Windows image to a production‑ready, field‑deployable system.
- Kiosk Mode Setup: Configuring Windows so the Unity application starts automatically as the sole interactive shell, blocking user access to the desktop and system UI.
- DLL Management: Managing registration, versioning, and dependencies of custom DLLs to ensure correct loading order and compatibility across updates.
- Python Services Integration: Setting up background processes as Windows services (via NSSM or pywin32) with auto‑start, watchdog recovery, logging, and inter‑process communication with the Unity app.
- Hardware Tuning: Adapting the system for specific industrial board constraints, including BIOS/UEFI, GPIO, serial peripherals, and thermal management.
What You Will Deliver
A fully documented, reproducible Windows image that boots directly into the Unity kiosk application, with all DLLs correctly registered, Python services running and monitored, and the system hardened against unintended user interaction or OS updates — ready for volume deployment on the target industrial board.
Requirements
- Windows IoT & Lockdown: Deep, hands‑on experience with Windows 10/11 IoT Enterprise, including Shell Launcher v2, Assigned Access, Unified Write Filter (UWF), and Group Policy‑based lockdown.
- Windows Internals: Strong proficiency in the registry, services architecture, WMI, COM/DCOM, and DLL side‑by‑side loading.
- Scripting & Python Services: Solid PowerShell scripting skills and practical knowledge of deploying Python services on Windows (pywin32, virtualenv packaging, dependency isolation).
- Industrial Hardware: Proven experience bringing up and validating Windows images on industrial SBCs or embedded x86 boards (e.g., Advantech, Kontron, Beckhoff).
- Image Deployment: Expertise in creating and deploying reproducible Windows images using DISM, WinPE, and answer files (unattend.xml).
- Unity Runtime (Highly Preferred): Familiarity with DirectX dependencies, display/resolution management, and crash recovery for Unity on Windows.
Nice to Have
- Fleet Provisioning: Experience with Windows Autopilot or MDM‑based deployment.
- CI/CD: Familiarity with pipelines for automated OS image building and validation.
- Real‑time Processing: Exposure to real‑time or deterministic scheduling constraints on Windows.
- Hardware Security: Knowledge of secure boot, BitLocker, and TPM configuration on industrial hardware.
