About The Position

Sealing Technologies, a Parsons Corporation company, is seeking a highly technical, hands-on Senior Solution Architect with deep expertise in server hardware and systems engineering to support the design, integration, and deployment of advanced small form factor, high-mobility server platforms for edge computing environments. This role is ideal for someone who understands server architecture at a low level CPU, memory, storage, networking, power, and thermal constraints and can translate that knowledge into real-world, mission-ready edge solutions. You will work closely with customers, engineering teams, and product development to deliver ruggedized, high-performance systems for distributed and often constrained environments.

Requirements

US Citizen. Ability to obtain and maintain a Security Clearance.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent hands-on experience)
7+ years of experience in server architecture, systems engineering, or solution architecture roles
Deep understanding of server hardware design and performance characteristics, including: CPU architectures (Intel/AMD/ARM), cores, threading, and NUMA
Memory architectures (DDR4/DDR5, ECC, bandwidth considerations)
Storage systems (NVMe, SATA, RAID configurations, storage tiering)
PCIe lanes, expansion, and accelerator integration (GPU, FPGA, SmartNICs)
Experience with Linux-based systems administration and performance tuning
Strong understanding of networking concepts and hardware (NICs, RDMA, switching, edge networking)
Experience with virtualization and container platforms (VMware, KVM, Docker, Kubernetes)
Ability to troubleshoot complex hardware/software integration issues
Strong customer-facing and communication skills
Ability to work independently in field environments and manage multiple priorities
Willingness and ability to travel up to 75%

Nice To Haves

Background in cybersecurity, including system hardening, secure architectures, and compliance frameworks (e.g., NIST, RMF, Zero Trust)
Experience with ruggedized, tactical, or mobile compute platforms
Familiarity with edge AI/ML workloads and GPU acceleration
Experience with out-of-band management (IPMI, Redfish) and remote system management
Knowledge of power and thermal design considerations in compact systems
Experience supporting government, defense, or classified environments
Relevant certifications (e.g., RHCE, CISSP, Security+, VMware VCP, or similar)

Responsibilities

Architect and design end-to-end edge compute solutions centered on small form factor, high-mobility server systems
Provide deep technical expertise on server hardware, including processor architectures (x86/ARM), memory subsystems, storage (NVMe, SSD, RAID), and high-speed networking (10/25/40/100GbE)
Advise customers on system sizing, performance tuning, and workload optimization for edge deployments
Lead technical discovery sessions and translate requirements into detailed system architectures and BOMs
Support integration of virtualization, containerization, and orchestration platforms (e.g., VMware, KVM, Kubernetes) on constrained edge hardware
Design for resiliency in harsh or disconnected environments (limited power, thermal constraints, intermittent connectivity)
Conduct and support proof-of-concept (PoC) builds, benchmarking, and performance validation
Collaborate with hardware engineering teams on system design, including I/O, GPU/accelerator integration, and ruggedization considerations
Ensure solutions meet security and compliance requirements, including secure boot, encryption, and system hardening
Deliver technical presentations, whitepapers, and solution documentation
Travel extensively to customer sites for deployment, troubleshooting, and technical engagement
