*AI-Enabled Solutioning and Tools Utilization
Use internal AI platforms (such as ChatGPT.gov and AwardedAI) and commercial tools (such as Claude) to:
Analyze RFPs, RFIs, and related documents to identify requirements, risks, and opportunities.
Generate and refine solution concepts, narratives, and supporting materials.
Develop and maintain repeatable prompt patterns and AI workflows that improve speed and quality of solution development.
Apply sound prompt engineering practices to guide AI tools toward accurate, relevant, and compliant outputs, with a focus on defense missions and federal contracting constraints.
Curate and organize AI-generated content to ensure it is technically coherent, consistent with capture strategy, and aligned with the Lead Solution Architect's direction.
PWin and Competitive Differentiation
Work with capture managers and proposal managers to ensure AI-enabled solution concepts directly support win themes, strengths, and discriminators.
Assist in identifying where AI-assisted analysis reveals potential solution enhancements, efficiencies, or innovative features that can be incorporated into the proposal to improve PWin.
Support color team reviews (e.g., Pink, Red, Gold) by rapidly iterating and refining solution narratives and artifacts using AI tools, based on reviewer feedback and evolving capture strategy.
Collaboration and Stakeholder Engagement
Collaborate closely with:
Lead Solution Architect (primary supervisor and technical mentor)
Capture managers (solution strategy and win themes)
Proposal managers (volume structure, schedule, and compliance)
Technical SMEs and engineering leads (technical accuracy and feasibility)
Operations and program managers (past performance, operational realism, and transition/implementation perspectives)
Operate as a shared resource across multiple pursuits, balancing workload and priorities as directed by the Lead Solution Architect and capture/proposal leadership.
AI Advocacy, Enablement, and Safe Use
Serve as a day-to-day advocate for the safe and effective use of AI in capture and proposal activities, modeling best practices for colleagues.
Support AI pilots and internal experimentation related to proposal development and solutioning, including documenting lessons learned and recommended practices.
Informally teach and coach capture/proposal team members on how to use AI tools effectively (e.g., basic prompt strategies, use cases, and limitations) while emphasizing appropriate oversight, quality assurance, and data protection.
Promote responsible, secure, and compliant exploitation of AI tools in alignment with Amentum policies, customer requirements, and applicable regulations.
Required Qualifications
Experience: Minimum of 10 years of experience supporting DoW with direct exposure to government mission support environments.
Domain Knowledge: Strong understanding of DoW missions, operational @contexts, and typical solution constructs (e.g., systems integration, logistics and sustainment, training and simulation, C5ISR, or other relevant defense domains). Familiarity with the structure and content of federal proposals, including typical technical and management volume constructs and evaluation criteria.
AI Tools and Practices: Demonstrated proficiency using commercial AI products (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, or similar tools) for professional tasks such as analysis, drafting, solution exploration, and content refinement. Experience designing effective AI prompts and repeatable prompt patterns that produce consistent, high-quality outputs in support of solution development and proposal writing.
Skills and Competencies: Strong analytical skills with the ability to rapidly assimilate RFP requirements, technical baselines, and stakeholder input, and synthesize them into coherent solution narratives. Excellent written communication skills, particularly in formal, structured, and customer-facing proposal content. Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment with multiple concurrent pursuits. High attention to detail, especially in ensuring compliance, consistency, and logical traceability from requirements to solution features.
Education: High school diploma or equivalent required.
Eligibility: Must be a U.S. citizen and eligible to obtain and maintain a security clearance as required by assigned projects. (Specific clearance level to be determined based on contract/customer needs.)
Schedule: Must be able to support proposal timelines, including surge periods and non-standard hours when necessary to meet submission deadlines.
Preferred Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in a related field (e.g., engineering, computer science, data/AI, business, or a defense-related discipline) is preferred but not required.
Familiarity with internal or enterprise-grade AI platforms (e.g., government-specific or secure AI environments such as ChatGPT.gov, AwardedAI, or equivalents).
Exposure to common AI solution concepts (e.g., generative AI, retrieval-augmented generation, prompt engineering, and AI-assisted analytics) from a conceptual/architectural perspective.
Experience working within structured capture/proposal processes (e.g., Shipley-based methods, gated reviews, color teams).
Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams that include technical SMEs, program managers, and business development professionals.
Working Conditions
Location: Remote within CONUS; occasional travel may be required for in-person team working sessions, internal workshops, or proposal orals (estimated
Schedule: Must be able to support proposal timelines, including surge periods and non-standard hours when necessary to meet submission deadlines.
Reporting: Reports to the Lead Solution Architect within Amentum E&T; operates as a shared resource supporting multiple capture and proposal teams.
