Peraton's Strategic Innovation Group is seeking a visionary Technology Leader with a focus on strategic innovation, to serve as a principal architect of enterprise-level agentic systems—you will envision, design, and operationalize cutting edge R D (CRAD and IRAD) ideas into mission-ready, operationally resilient agentic and autonomous capabilities across the Peraton customer mission space. This role will provide a rare opportunity to lead and merge advanced technical engineering innovation with strategic impact, while shaping the future direction of the business and our customer's critical missions. This role is pivotal in fusing deep technical subject matter expertise with strategic vision toward the delivery of impactful solutions aligned with national security priorities, campaign-level initiatives in data management, autonomous application development and operations, and developer enablement. This position is more than technical oversight—it's a senior engineering, customer facing role with strategic influence, where end-to-end system thinking, mission integration, and technology vision converge. You will play a critical role in shaping enterprise agentic and autonomy campaigns, architecting innovative solutions, and building advanced solutions and products to provide the advantage across all customer mission spaces, well into the future. This role demands a deep commitment to regulatory compliance, ethical AI integration, developer and user enablement, and the consideration of security protocols inherent to the intelligence, defense, and national security domains.

  • Leading End-to-End Design & Concept Engineering: Own and partner with VP, Technology and stakeholders on the technical architecture and system engineering solutions for strategic agentic AI capabilities from concept through operational transition, ensuring integration, scalability, and mission readiness of emerging technologies.
  • Ensuring Regulatory Compliance & Ethical AI Integration: Lead the design and implementation of software and systems in strict adherence to national security policies, cybersecurity regulations (e.g., NIST, DoD Directives, ICDs), and ethical AI principals.
  • Drive Innovation-to-Impact Transformation: Translate R D outputs into executable, fieldable systems that address mission-critical needs across Peraton customer domains.
  • Architect Across Mission Domains: Engineer interoperable, cross-domain solutions that integrate with enterprise IT/OT environments, cloud infrastructures, and national security systems.
  • Shape and Support Enterprise Strategy: Collaborate with corporate strategy, technology leadership, and our customers, to align engineering direction with strategic campaign priorities and investment roadmaps.
  • Guide Technical Capture & Business Development: Serve as senior engineering lead on high-priority captures, providing solution architecture, system performance analysis, technical narratives, and differentiators.
  • Support High-Value Campaigns and R D Strategy: Lead engineering planning for major enterprise campaigns, ensuring alignment between R D portfolios, customer needs, and opportunity timing.
  • Build & Leverage Innovation Ecosystems: Drive collaboration with external technology sources including national labs, FFRDCs, universities, and commercial innovators.
  • Champion Mission-Driven Tech Insertion: Prioritize and guide transition of emerging technologies into resilient, deployable architectures.
  • Conduct Technical Reviews and Mission Assurance Assessments: Serve as senior design authority on internal reviews, engineering gates, and readiness evaluations.
  • Advise Senior Leaders: Influence executive-level decisions with technical insight into system feasibility, risk, integration timelines, and transition pathways.
  • 16+ years of experience with a background in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related technical discipline.
  • Proven track record leading development and transition efforts across autonomous systems, AI/ML, agentic applications.
  • Experience delivering engineering solutions in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).
  • Excellent ability to communicate complex systems concepts to internal and external technical and executive audiences.
  • Skilled in leading diverse technical teams, mentoring engineering talent, and driving outcomes across organizational boundaries.
  • Experience influencing corporate or enterprise strategy through technical leadership and engineering planning in the cyber domain.
  • Experience with MBSE, DoDAF/UAF, system trades, architecture analysis, TRLs, and federal R D transition vehicles.
  • Ability to connect system engineering outcomes to mission value, cost-benefit tradeoffs, and enterprise growth strategies.
  • Experience supporting high-value proposals, customer shaping activities, and enterprise investment decisions.
  • This position requires a minimum of an active/current Top Secret security clearance with ability to obtain SCI.
  • Deep understanding of AI/ML, agentic AI, autonomy, workflow automation.
  • Understanding of AI/ML model development, adversarial machine learning, and MLOps in multiple domains.
  • Salary range of $190,000 - $304,000, determined by various factors including experience and geographic location.
