Key skills for this role
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. Are you ready to use your combination of knowledge, skill, and experience to take on the toughest challenges across maritime and ground missions?
This is a role for a technologist who wants to shape solutions for the nation's most critical national defense challenges: partnering with capture teams on competitive pursuits and supporting high-speed acquisitions where the timeline is compressed and the technical solution has to be right for the mission, delivered fast. You'll translate complex mission needs into credible, differentiated, and executable technical architectures across a portfolio of opportunities rather than from inside a single program of record. With your guidance, we’ll help transform the way defense customers use technology including cloud migration, integrating advanced technology, and modernizing legacy systems.
Lead technical solution development and architecture visioning during capture, shaping, and pre-RFP phases.
Translate customer mission needs into actionable, technically sound solution concepts and win themes across digital, cyber, autonomy, AI/ML, and infrastructure domains.
Produce and refine solution narratives, technical volumes, architecture diagrams, compliance matrices, and supporting artifacts for bids.
Evaluate competitor approaches, teaming strategies, and price-to-win considerations to ensure solutions are differentiated and winnable.
Surge across pursuits, flexing to the highest-priority opportunities as capture demands shift.
Partner closely with Capture Leads, Pricing, and industry and technology partners to shape end-to-end solutions, basis-of-estimate (BOE) inputs, and bills of materials.
