LTS is seeking an experienced Application Packaging Engineer to support enterprise Windows application packaging and deployment for a large federal environment within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)’s enterprise IT. This position will collaborate with stakeholders to understand business and technical requirements, develop reliable packaging solutions, and ensure seamless integration within the VA's enterprise IT environment. This role owns the full lifecycle of application packaging — from gathering requirements through building, testing, and deploying production-ready packages at scale. This is a hands-on technical role for someone who has lived inside Windows Installer technology and enjoys solving the kind of deep, detail-oriented problems that come with packaging software for thousands of endpoints reliably and repeatably.
What You'll Do:
- Build silent installation packages in MSI, MST, and MSIX formats and validate them through initial installation testing on Windows 11
- Engage directly with internal customers to gather packaging requirements and translate them into technical documentation and solutions that scale to a large enterprise environment
- Perform complete end-to-end packaging activities — source validation, build, testing, deployment, and production support
- Troubleshoot packaging and deployment issues using ProcMon, MSI verbose logging, and Windows Event Logs; identify root cause and implement corrective action quickly
- Query and modify Windows Registry as part of packaging and deployment workflows
- Participate in peer review of packages to ensure quality and consistency with project standards
- Ensure all prerequisites, dependencies, and organizational packaging/deployment standards are accounted for in every solution delivered
What We're Looking For:
- 4–6+ years of hands-on application packaging experience, including extensive use of Flexera AdminStudio
- Knowledge of Active Directory, Microsoft Registry, and ability to query or modify settings
- Experience using Flexera AdminStudio and Install Shield
- Demonstrated experience troubleshooting packaging issues using ProcMon, MSI logging, and Windows Event Logs
- Deep familiarity with Windows Installer internals (MSI tables, custom actions, transforms, component rules, repair behavior, reboot handling and logging)
