## Description

The Solutions Architect serves as the technical bridge between our customers and engineering teams. Sitting within the Growth team and reporting to a Chief Engineer, you will be the primary technical voice for our business development operations, and continue to guide systems design and implementation across build and delivery. Your mission: make the team technically impressive, ensuring every customer conversation, white paper, and proposal is grounded in a credible, differentiated technical narrative that maps Applied Intuition's capabilities to the customer's mission.

At Applied Intuition, you will:

 * Design bespoke solution architectures, integration concepts, and Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for specific DoD pursuits.
 * Translate complex software capabilities into mission-relevant narratives for government engineers, SETAs, and technical evaluation teams.
 * Act as the technical engine for the BD team, providing the substance for white papers, capability briefs, and RFI/RFP technical volumes.
 * Lead technical customer engagements, including deep-dive architecture reviews and product demonstrations.
 * Serve as the primary liaison between Growth and Engineering/Product teams to ensure capture strategies align with our roadmap.
 * Conduct competitive technical analysis to identify architectural strengths and weaknesses versus industry incumbents.
 * Convert customer requirements and operational constraints into actionable technical feedback for our product development cycles.
