About The Position

The Senior Solution Architect will shape the architecture of a cloud-native Digital Twin and Modeling & Simulation platform designed to connect military test ranges through data-driven capabilities. The role translates stakeholder and mission requirements into end-to-end solution designs that integrate data capture, 3D content pipelines, physics-based simulation, asset management, and real-time visualization across AWS GovCloud and on-premises environments.

The architect leads trade studies, evaluates emerging technologies, and documents architecture decisions to guide engineering teams from prototype through production. Working with government stakeholders, platform engineers, developers, and UX teams, the role ensures solutions are scalable, secure, and aligned with DoD accreditation requirements. The position contributes to the platform’s technical direction and may grow into broader architecture leadership as the capability expands.
