Employer description

Standard Job Description
Designs, develops and oversees system architectures, including complex systems and systems design activities. Serves as focal point for the development and communication of the system architecture. Ensures conversion of mission requirements into total systems solutions that account for design and technology maturity constraints of the system. Develops systems and system element architecture, design, and interface definition. Supports internal and external design reviews. Maintains knowledge of current and developing technologies and design and analysis methodologies. Develops models and architectural guidelines for current and future system development.

Serve as the primary integrator of architectural concepts from diverse internal and external stakeholders, ensuring all constructs align with and advance the program’s vision, mission, and roadmaps.Engage deeply with business stakeholders, customers, and partners to capture and understand current state architectures (processes, data, roles) and articulate data, reporting, and analytics requirements across the program life-cycle.Synthesize and integrate customer, industry partner, and internal architectural inputs into cohesive, parent level frameworks that enable full lifecycle utility and consistent implementation.Develop future-state conceptual architectures that are implementable, secure, scalable, and supportable, with explicit priority given to integrating multidisciplinary stakeholder concepts and requirements.Lead the integration, implementation, and operationalization of architectures, ensuring solutions are secure, scalable, supportable, and directly responsive to stakeholder needs.Support the National Security mission areas with long-term planning, technology insertion, and solution architecture decisions.Support the development and communication of the space comm architectural futuresEnsure assessment and conversion of mission needs/requirements into total mission systems solutions that account for the design and technology maturity constraints of the systemDevelop innovative next gen mission systems and system element architecture, design, and interface definitionsContinuously translate architecture analysis into action plans and product development roadmapsSupport the development and management of overall budgets, schedules, and performance standardsWork with Enterprise Centers of Excellence, Supply Chain, and LOB leadership to translate mission and product roadmaps into technology investment and industry partnership decisionsSupport internal and external mission system design reviews Basic Qualifications
