## Description

The Data Architect will work across mission owners, enterprise platforms, and technical delivery teams to develop reference architectures, DoDAF products, data architecture artifacts, and modernization recommendations. This is a strategic, hands-on role requiring an enterprise perspective and the ability to translate mission needs into actionable technical designs. The position is part-time (0.5 FTE).
What You'll Do
· Orchestrate enterprise-wide data and AI architecture alignment across Air and Space Force mission domains
· Assess current-state environments and develop future-state and transition architectures
· Align mission-critical AI use cases and operational requirements with authoritative data sources, enterprise services, and platform capabilities
· Develop and maintain enterprise reference architectures, data architecture artifacts, technical standards, and DoDAF products
· Map mission systems, data products, interfaces, data exchanges, dependencies, and consuming applications
· Evaluate enterprise platforms, mission systems, and integration patterns supporting DAF Data and AI objectives
· Identify and address architectural barriers affecting data sharing, interoperability, reuse, and AI enablement
· Establish implementable architecture patterns for data mesh, federated environments, cloud-native services, APIs, and Zero Trust
· Support architectural alignment across mission domains, enterprise platforms, classification levels, and operational enclaves
· Translate complex technical environments, architecture decisions, risks, and dependencies into executive-level recommendations and actionable Agile delivery priorities
· Collaborate with data engineers, platform teams, cybersecurity personnel, domain stakeholders, and governance organizations to ensure architectures are secure, implementable, and operationally relevant
Required Education
Candidates must meet one of the following combinations, · Enterprise data/AI alignment and guidance
· Current-state, future-state, and transition architecture recommendations
· Enterprise and domain reference architectures
· DoDAF operational, system, service, and data-information views
· Data architecture artifacts, standards, and implementation guidance
· Authoritative data-source, data-flow, interface, and dependency mappings
· Data-product, API, integration, and interoperability design patterns
· Enterprise platform and mission-system architecture assessments
· Prioritized modernization recommendations and implementation roadmaps
· Actionable architecture inputs supporting Agile planning and delivery
