Responsibilities

Develop, document, and maintain end-to-end system architectures and designs for complex software and data systems based on documented requirements and mission objectives; participate directly in implementation where appropriate.
Provide input to system and solution design, including hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, COTS/GOTS integration, and requirements analysis and synthesis from enterprise level to systems and components.
Design, implement, and integrate software and infrastructure components using approved architecture patterns, including microservices, event-driven, API-centric, and cloud-native approaches.
Apply systems engineering, software engineering, and architecture methodologies appropriate to development, integration, and production environments; create system views, interface control documents, data models, and detailed design specifications.
Deliver system engineering, architecture, and software engineering capabilities using industry standards and repeatable processes, aligned with approved architectures and technical baselines.
Identify and mitigate technical risks, manage cost and schedule impacts of engineering decisions, and support large-scale modernization and migration, including on-premises-to-cloud or hybrid architectures.
Review and test system and software components for adherence to design and architecture requirements; document test results and participate in design reviews, code reviews, integration events, and readiness reviews.
Participate in and help shape DevSecOps practices through design, development, integration, and deployment, ensuring architecture is implemented, automated, and validated through CI/CD pipelines.
Develop and deliver technical briefings, training, and architecture or engineering overviews requested by the government.
Analyze in-use technologies, data flows, configurations, and system interfaces; develop modernization steps, roadmaps, and engineering plans to improve and expand them, reduce technical debt, and enhance mission effectiveness.
Evaluate emerging technologies, reference architectures, and tools for mission applicability and recommend adoption, prototyping, or proof-of-concept efforts, including hands-on prototyping.
