About The Position

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

You will lead trade studies, evaluate emerging technologies, and document architecture decisions that guide engineering teams from prototype to production. Working with government stakeholders, platform engineers, developers, and UX teams, you will help ensure solutions are scalable, secure, and aligned with DoD accreditation requirements. The role contributes to the platform’s technical direction and may offer opportunities to grow into broader architecture leadership as the capability expands.
