This is a senior post: you would set the standards other projects build to. What you would be doing
- Leading the development of architectures for complex solutions and keeping them consistent with agreed requirements.
- Setting the policies, principles and practices for selecting solution architecture components.
- Managing trade-offs between functional, service quality and systems management requirements, and communicating the decisions to stakeholders.
- Coordinating the target architecture across several projects at once, keeping the design stable and standards-compliant.
- Driving scoping, requirements definition and prioritisation on large initiatives - establishing baselines, negotiating competing priorities, and managing changes properly.
- Setting systems development policy and making security and privacy integral to it, and managing the resources, technical, financial and quality targets across all stages.
- Producing or approving network architectures, topologies and configuration databases, and specifying design parameters for connectivity, capacity, speed, interfacing, security and access.
- Assessing network risk and specifying recovery routines and contingency procedures, with design views for each stakeholder group.
Requirements
- A Masterâs degree in a related discipline with five years of relevant experience, or a Bachelorâs with eight.
- Proven experience leading teams of technical staff.
- Current and future deployable, dispersible and highly mobile CIS technologies.
- Design and systems integration experience covering AC power distribution, emergency generation and fuel storage, and UPS.
- A good grasp of wireless technologies including satellite communications.
- Architecture modelling languages - UML, SysML or ArchiMate - preferably inside an architecture framework (NAFv4, TOGAF, DODAF, Zachman) and model-based systems engineering.
- Quality assurance practice, and solid experience developing, implementing, fielding, testing and maintaining modern communications equipment.
- ITIL Foundation and PRINCE2 Foundation (or an equivalent project management certification such as PMP).
Nice to have
- NATO Architecture Framework version 4, and Federated Mission Networking applied in service design.
- PRINCE2 Practitioner or equivalent, and ArchiMate or TOGAF certification.
- An international environment with both military and civilian colleagues.
Practical detail
- Braine-lâAlleud, Belgium - full time on site, normal office environment, with temporary duty to other NATO sites in Belgium one to two times a month.
- 28 September to 30 December 2026, 488 hours in total.
- Graded at the equivalent of NATO G20.
- You must hold a valid clearance and be a citizen of a NATO member country with the right to work in Belgium.
