Systems of Systems Architect

Must have: Understand architecture and systems engineering (MBSE)/ DOD Architecture Framework (DODAF)/ Architecting space systems, air systems, or Client system (similar domain experience- not building ships or naval systems). Looking for experience with : collect aspects from architecture models, MBSE engineering background, drafting exp DOD Architecture Framework (this is a method of doing things- this may not be on their resume, but we want to ask candidates about it ) .

Duration: 12-month CTH
Reston, VA (Onsite)
Looking for a candidate with an eligibility to hold/ obtain/ maintain active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility.

The team is flexible on years of experience, they are willing to consider candidates with 10+ years even though the JD states 10, as long as they have experience architecting.

• DOD Architecture Framework (this is a method of doing things- this may not be on their resume, but we want to ask candidates about it)

Qualified candidates will have the following experience and skills:

• Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline. Additional applicable experience may be considered in lieu of a degree based on contract requirements.
• Approximately 10 or more years of systems engineering, system architecture, enterprise architecture, or related experience. Candidates with fewer years may be considered if they possess a strong foundational background and directly relevant experience.
• Demonstrated understanding of both system architecture and systems engineering principles.
• Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering and architecture modeling.
• Experience using the Department of Defense Architecture Framework, or DoDAF, to develop and maintain architecture products.
• Experience collecting, interpreting, and documenting information from architecture models.
• Experience drafting architecture artifacts, technical documentation, interface documentation, models, diagrams, roadmaps, or related engineering materials.
• Experience architecting systems within relevant mission domains such as space systems, air systems, intelligence systems, C4ISR, or similar DoD or Intelligence Community environments.
• Experience defining interfaces and supporting integration across multiple independent systems, services, stakeholders, or mission domains.
• Familiarity with SysML, UML, UAF, MBSE tools, interface control documents, data models, or sequence diagrams.
• Understanding of the systems engineering lifecycle, including requirements analysis, architecture and design, integration, testing, deployment, and sustainment.
• Ability to work effectively on a small engineering team while collaborating across a larger, multidisciplinary program.
