SOFTWARE DEPLOYMENT ENGINEER

Interested in technology that is responsible for deploying Windows on
every Windows machine ?
Does working on hard problems with high visibility and impact excite
you ?
Do you wish to develop code that solves key challenges for deploying
Windows in OEM, consumer and datacenter scenarios?

The Windows Deployment team is responsible for OEM, Consumer and
corporate deployment solutions for Windows client and server and is
developing a Deployment platform for enabling efficient, customizable
deployment of Windows. In the first wave with Windows Vista, the team
delivered Image Based Deployment (IBS). IBS based on Windows Images
(WIM) enables encapsulation for file based images of OS binaries and
their associated state. The result is all Windows installations
(consumer install, upgrade, OEM deployments and remote install) are
using and benefiting from WIMs that allow offline customization and a
unified deployment mechanism. The second wave, delivered with Windows
Server 2008, enabled multicast distribution of WIMs for large scale
deployments while minimizing network traffic.
