Responsibilities will include defining and overseeing the implementation of the software architecture for a Java-based missile defense command and control planner system and ensuring the architecture is consistent with the architecture design tenets on the C2BMC program. This includes providing direct technical support to the Chief Engineer, Chief Architect, Planner Client team and coordinating across engineering disciplines (e.g. Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Integration & Test, Operations & Sustainment). Examples of tasking to be performed include: * Perform trade studies and analysis for current and future C2BMC development activities. * Maintain the software architecture artifacts for the Planner team. * Oversee the development and implementation of the Planner software design. * Determine ramifications and impacts of proposed architectural changes to the software baselines. * Analyze system performance to include quantifying performance, identifying bottlenecks, and measuring throughput. * Support briefings, presentations and demonstrations to the customer. Support analysis, design, and implementation of cyber requirements in the software. * Work with other program architects to implement enterprise architecture with intent and guidance. * Specific tasks may include, but are not limited to: + Installation and configuration of Linux and Windows HW platforms from the OS up to the C2BMC developed applications. + Coordinate execution of SW integration tests across multiple environments to verify system operation. + Work with software developers as needed to help diagnose and identify the root cause of problems found during software integration. Submit problem reports for errors found., Develops and publishes corporate business automation plans using cost-effective delivery technologies in support of major corporate strategies. Performs complex software design activities integrating multiple technologies. Provides architectural guidelines for all software design activities to current and future technological environments. Maintains state-of-the-art knowledge of technologies, planning, design, and analysis methodologies. Responsible for the design and architectural guidelines for current and future software technological activities. ## Related Videos - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [WebAssembly: The Next Frontier of Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/972-webassembly-the-next-frontier-of-cloud-computing) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [#90DaysOfDevOps - The DevOps Learning Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/548-90daysofdevops-the-devops-learning-journey) - [DevOps Maturity Check – a way to balance autonomy and alignment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/58-devops-maturity-check-a-way-to-balance-autonomy-and-alignment) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers)
