Solutions Architecture Product Owner (Secret Clearance)

Lockheed Martin • Colorado Springs, AL

7d • Onsite

About The Position

The role sits at the heart of an integrated solutions architecture and systems engineering effort, working on a multi company team to define the operational, physical, functional, and technical architectures that will shape an evolving C2BMC (Command, Control, Battle Management, and Communications) capability. As the product owner for the architecture, you will own the backlog of architecture artifacts, prioritize capability delivery, and ensure that each increment aligns with stakeholder expectations. You will architect missile defense command and control and battle management systems, leveraging existing COTS/GOTS components while guaranteeing full DoD interoperability. A core responsibility is turning high level mission needs into a cohesive hardware software solution, analyzing requirements, articulating desired capabilities to developers, engineers, SMEs, and users, and producing and maintaining system models, interface control documents, and functional flow diagrams. You will also design and develop new systems, modernize legacy platforms, drive the roadmap for architectural evolution, lead portions of the design effort, and support internal and external design reviews with clear written and oral technical presentations.

Requirements

• A final secret clearance is required
• Extensive track record of designing, developing, and integrating complex command and control or battle management solutions.
• A strong foundation in systems architecture, leveraging frameworks such as DoDAF, MODAF, or TOGAF, enables you to translate mission requirements into complete, technology ready system solutions while respecting TRL constraints.
• Experience in internal and external design reviews, producing models and architectural guidelines that steer both current initiatives and future development
• Ability to manage stakeholder priorities and define acceptance criteria for each architectural release
• Must be a U.S. Citizen for consideration due to security clearance requirements.

Nice To Haves

• Deep understanding of DoD and missile defense C2BMC architectures, system concepts, and standard test and data analysis techniques.

• Structured, logical analytical approach to refining high level needs into integrated hardware/software solutions.
• Excellent written and oral communication; skilled at delivering concise, persuasive technical presentations.
• Demonstrated capability to lead complex architecture activities, mentor junior team members, and drive cross functional alignment.
• Certified Product Owner is plus
• Certified Architect (e.g., TOGAF, Zachman) or equivalent demonstrated expertise.
• Experience integrating COTS/GOTS components and applying DoD interoperability standards such as MAUD and STANAG.
• Familiarity with model based systems engineering (MBSE) tools (SysML, Enterprise Architect, MagicDraw).
• Prior work on missile defense or other high threat, high availability command and control programs.
