About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Architectural leadership: Lead development and maintenance of operational, business, system, data, and integration architecture for JTMS using MBSE methodologies and DoDAF/UAF frameworks.
Systems modeling: Develop and manage system models in SysML/UML capturing requirements, workflows, interfaces, constraints, and end-to-end mission threads with full traceability.
Digital engineering strategy: Drive adoption of the digital thread, authoritative model repositories, configuration management, and model-driven decision support across the program lifecycle.
Solution design: Translate business, operational, and compliance requirements into scalable solution architectures supporting COTS/ERP implementation and enterprise integration.
Integration & interoperability: Define integration patterns, interface specifications, data exchanges, and interoperability requirements across DoD, Service, Agency, and partner systems.
Governance & reviews: Establish architecture governance, modeling standards, technical baselines, and design-review processes; brief senior government and military leadership.
Cross-functional collaboration: Partner with functional, engineering, cybersecurity, test, and program teams to resolve gaps, risks, and cross-domain dependencies.
Roadmap & transition: Contribute to technology roadmap development, transition planning, implementation strategy, and business process reengineering.

Requirements

What you’ll need

U.S. citizenship with an active DoD Secret clearance or the ability to obtain one (we will sponsor eligible candidates).
7+ years designing enterprise, system, or solution architectures for large-scale IT programs in DoD or comparable regulated/enterprise environments.
Demonstrated systems-engineering capability: you can decompose a complex system and model its structure, behavior, interfaces, data, and end-to-end mission/business threads with full traceability — independent of any single tool.
Working proficiency with a SysML/UML modeling approach in a recognized tool (e.g., Cameo Systems Modeler / MagicDraw, Sparx EA, Rhapsody, GENESYS, or similar), plus familiarity with an architecture framework such as DoDAF or UAF.
Strong communication skills, including technical briefings and architecture documentation for executive and senior military audiences.
Aptitude and motivation to deepen MBSE and digital-engineering skills, with support from our digital-engineering community of practice.
Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field — or equivalent professional experience.
