Lead Software & Data Architect Engineer
About The Position
Join the BAE Systems Mission Integration Solutions (MIS) team in our new role as Lead Software & Data Architect. This is a key role leading our software and data architecture across multiple lines of effort including aviation, space, digital infrastructure and physical infrastructure; for some of our nation’s largest and most critical defense programs. These programs are demanding and complex, requiring creative solutions that stretch the state of the art in software engineering and data science. You will be at the heart of the team, setting the technical direction and ensuring we have the right people, processes and tools to win and deliver these programs. You will also be a practitioner, working hands-on to bring your creative solutions to life as proof-of-concepts, win proposals and transition them into operational capabilities. The right candidate will therefore have intellectual curiosity and possess a broad knowledge and experience base across all information technology domains, especially software engineering and data science. You will be capable of operating at all levels of abstraction from overall system-of-systems architecture through to the detail of implementation and operation. The ability to interact and collaborate outside our local business domain is essential in this role – “seeking to connect” will be your mantra. You need to have a high level of organizational savvy and the ability to interact effectively with stakeholders at all levels of the business, capable of translating complex, technical information into an easily understood narrative. You will be an ambassador for our software and data science activities and foster new relationships inside and outside BAE Systems including customers, partners and academia. You will be responsible for developing your staff and those of the broader team by mentoring, coaching and training them in use of the latest techniques. You will support the broader BAE Systems enterprise as an expert internal reviewer for programs in other business areas. You will represent the company at national/international trade events and symposia.
