The Opportunity:
At a certain point, experience-based system design can start to look like clairvoyance. When you’ve developed so many systems that you can not only orchestrate the best solution for any technology-based challenge, but you can also anticipate and preempt future issues, you’re a solutions architect. You’ve evolved your skills into strategy through a long path of software development accomplishments and the curiosity to understand how all of the pieces of an IT ecosystem fit together.
As a Solutions Architect on our New Product Development Team, you will Lead the design, integration, and governance of complex hardware and software solutions supporting the development of new and emerging commercial-grade products in AI and cybersecurity domains. You'll define the solution strategy and architecture across internal and external technologies, ensuring alignment with customer needs, partner capabilities, and pipeline opportunities. You'll work closely with engineering, product management, and business development teams to shape solutions for capture efforts, integrate partner technologies, and deliver scalable, high-quality product architectures suitable for commercial and mission use. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy while serving as a technical authority for solution design, architecture standards, and customer fit.
