## Description

Our Client is hiring for a reputed client to support the OpNET programme as a Solution Architect, providing architectural leadership for FMN Spiral 6 DCI capabilities-from design and integration through validation and transition. If you enjoy turning complex interoperability and security requirements into clear, governed solutions, this is a role where your expertise will directly shape mission-ready outcomes.

What you'll be doing:

 * Lead development of architecture and design artefacts such as HLDs, LLDs, options assessments, and technical roadmaps
 * Review FMN Spiral 6 standards and interoperability design patterns, and apply what fits to capability development
 * Gather requirements and clarify constraints, assumptions, dependencies, and risks with users, stakeholders, security specialists and engineers
 * Architect solutions for coalition interoperability, information exchange, metadata-based handling, and policy-based information control
 * Design and document capabilities covering FIAM, PKI, trust frameworks, and Data Centric Security
 * Ensure architectural compliance with FMN Spiral 6 requirements, NSoIT(D) principles, and MOD security policies
 * Provide technical governance and design assurance across build, integration, test, validation and demonstration
 * Produce architecture documentation, risk assessments, recommendations, reference architectures and reusable design patterns
 * Support governance activities including design reviews, risk reviews, change control and stakeholder reporting
 * Enable interoperability testing, FMN compliance validation, and authority-witnessed demonstrations
