About The Position

System Integration and Architecture Lead The Opportunity: At a certain point, sof tware design can start to look like clairvoyance. You’ve developed so many organization-wide sof tware architectures that you can not only orchestrate the best solution for any technical challenge, but you can also anticipate future concerns. That’s because you’re a sof tware architect with deep experience in sof tware development, scalable data platforms, and rigorous test and evaluation ( T & E ) pipelines. At Booz Allen, you can use those skills to improve the sof tware technology supporting flight sciences testing and expand digital twin adoption. On our team, you'll translate your customer’s sof tware needs and future goals into a plan by developing and implementing effective architecture artifacts, sof tware design specifications, API and integration contracts, and secure sof tware lifecycle processes. You’ll use the latest sof tware control systems like Git, CI / CD platforms, and AWS services to design an effective sof tware architecture. Your technical expertise will be vital as you lead the building of integrated capabilities such as technology pipelines, data assimilation services, AI services, and AI test-agent interfaces using Agile development met hods, Python or C++, and secure-by-design deployment approaches. In this role, you’ll directly impact advanced technology in defense T & E by architecting sof tware that enables confidence-driven digital twins and AI test agents—physics-informed, uncertainty-aware systems that learn from flight data and support safe, information-maximizing test campaigns. With your advanced technical expertise, mentoring, and opportunities to learn new tools and skills, you’ll guide a team that develops the best solutions for our customers. Work with us as we transform the future of technology in defense T & E for the better. Join us. The world can’t wait.
