The Opportunity:
You’ll define the architectures that connect missions, teams, and technology across the defense enterprise. This is a role for a systems thinker who thrives at the intersection of engineering, communication, and strategy—someone who can translate a mission challenge into a secure, executable design and see it through from concept to delivery.
You’ll partner with senior leaders to modernize mission systems, craft technical roadmaps, and guide multi-disciplinary teams through implementation. Your diagrams will become reality, including integrated infrastructures, hardened enclaves, and repeatable design patterns that drive secure operations. You’ll lead technical solutioning for new engagements, articulate value in executive briefings, and mentor engineers building the next generation of resilient, interoperable systems. When architecture and execution align, missions move faster, safer, and smarter – and you’ll be the one making that alignment happen.
What You'll Work On:
Architect and oversee enterprise and mission-system solutions spanning infrastructure, networking, and cybersecurity domains.
Lead stakeholder workshops, technical interchange meetings, and executive briefings that turn complex requirements into clear direction.
Produce and maintain architecture artifacts, decision records, and integration plans that anchor delivery and compliance.
Guide teams through modernization efforts, including Zero Trust adoption, cross-domain integration, and IL5 or IL6 deployments.
Shape technical solutions for new pursuits, including writing proposal architectures, cost trade-offs, and implementation strategies.
Coordinate delivery execution across engineers, developers, and subcontractors to ensure the architecture intent is realized.
Embed security and compliance from the start using STIG, RMF, and NIST 800-53/171 frameworks.
Join us. The world can't wait.
You Have:
4+ years of experience in creating solution architectures, roadmaps, and design documentation across multiple domains, including systems or network engineering
Experience with leading stakeholder and executive engagements and driving consensus on technical direction and delivery priorities
Experience with program and delivery oversight, coordinating schedules, managing risk, and validating outcomes
Knowledge of infrastructure and networking integration, data flows, segmentation, and inter-system connectivity
Top Secret clearance
HS diploma or GED
IAT Level II Certification such as CompTIA Security+ Certification
Ability to obtain a CCNP Collaboration Certification within 12 months of hire
Nice If You Have:
8+ years of experience leading or supporting enterprise or mission-system architecture within defense, intelligence, or federal programs
Experience designing, implementing and maintaining enterprise Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) solutions
Experience maintaining enterprise VoIP and UC environments such as Cisco CUCM, Unity, Expressway, Jabber or Webex, and Cisco or Ribbon SBCs
Experience with wireless QoS, voice roaming optimization, and integration with Cisco or Aruba WLANs
Experience developing enterprise modernization roadmaps, cloud migration strategies, or Zero Trust frameworks
Experience managing cross-functional delivery teams through the design and implementation cycle
Ability to interpret logs, CDRs, traces, and packet captures using tools, such as RTMT and Wireshark, influence architecture, and build stakeholder consensus
Possession of excellent communication and negotiation skills
Bachelor's degree
Cisco CCNP Collaboration, Collaboration Core (CLCOR), or Collaboration Applications (CLICA) Certifications
