Solution Architect, Senior
The Opportunity:
Are you ready to turn complex mission needs into working technical solutions? As a Solution Architect, you'll help shape the architecture of a cloud-native Digital Twin and Modeling & Simulation platform that brings military test ranges into a connected, data-driven future.
You'll translate stakeholder and mission requirements into end-to-end solution designs that connect data capture, 3D content pipelines, physics-based simulation, asset management, and real-time visualization across AWS GovCloud and on-premises environments. You'll lead trade studies, evaluate emerging technologies, and document architecture decisions that guide engineering teams from proto@type to production. Working closely with government stakeholders, platform engineers, developers, and UX teams, you'll make sure solutions are scalable, secure, and aligned with DoD accreditation requirements. In this role, you'll sit at the center of the platform's technical direction. You'll also have the chance to grow into broader architecture leadership as the capability expands.
Help us architect the next generation of test and evaluation infrastructure.
