## Description

We are seeking a Systems Architect to design, optimize, and integrate complex system architectures that enable effective data flow, interoperability, and mission performance. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of how systems connect, communicate, and exchange data, and will be responsible for defining architectural interfaces, data-sharing strategies, and output requirements across multiple systems and components., Architecture Design & Integration: Determine optimal methods for interconnecting systems to enhance overall architecture performance, scalability, and reliability. Design and define system interfaces, integration pathways, and communication mechanisms. Data Architecture & Interoperability: Identify what data should be shared across systems to support mission needs, analytics, and operational decision-making. Define the data outputs the architecture must generate, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and alignment with user or mission requirements. Develop data flow diagrams, interface control documents (ICDs), and architecture models. Performance Optimization: Evaluate existing system architectures to identify opportunities for improved performance, reduced latency, and increased system resilience. Recommend architectural enhancements or system changes based on technical analysis and best practices. Requirements Analysis & Translation: Work with stakeholders to understand mission or customer
requirements and translate them into architectural designs, data needs, and integration specifications. Ensure that architectural solutions meet technical, schedule, security, and cost constraints. Collaboration & Technical Leadership: Collaborate with engineers, program managers, and external partners to ensure coherent system-of-systems integration. Provide architectural guidance throughout development, testing, and deployment phases.

This position is designed to be flexible, with responsibilities evolving to meet business needs and enable individual growth.
