The Architect will also analyze system requirements and support design and development activities.

Provide technical expertise for the integration of requirements, design, and technology. Incorporates new plans, designs, and systems into ongoing operations. Guides system development and implementation planning through assessment or preparation of system engineering management plans and system integration and test plans.

Provides direct support to the Government regarding Systems Engineering technical considerations and any associated problems, issues or conflicts. Develops architectural products in support of systems design and interoperability testing. Communicates with other program personnel, government overseers, product office stakeholders, and senior executives.

Specific Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Contribute to the development of sections of systems engineering documentation such as System Engineering Plans, Information Support Plans, Configuration Management Plans, Initial Capabilities Documents, Requirements specifications, and Interface Control Documents
• Participate in interface definition, design, and changes to the configuration between affected groups and individuals throughout the life cycle
• Manage system requirements and derived requirements to ensure the delivery of production systems that are compatible with the defined system architecture(s) - Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), Service-oriented Architecture (SOA), etc.
• Develop, modify, and assess architectural products, ensuring traceability for required viewpoints in accordance with applicable JCIDS and acquisition requirements
• Participate in an Integrated Product Team to design new capabilities based upon evaluation of all necessary development and operational consideration
• Derive from the system requirements an understanding of stakeholder needs, functions that may be logically inferred and implied as essential to increase system effectiveness
• Support the Government product office to derive lower-level requirements from higher-level allocated requirements that describe in detail the functions that a system component must fulfill, and ensure these requirements are complete, correct, unique, unambiguous, realizable, and verifiable
• Generate alternative system concepts, physical architectures, and design solutions
• Participate in establishing and gaining approval of the definition of a system or component under development (requirements, designs, interfaces, test procedures, etc.) that provides a common reference point for hardware and software developers
• Document the defined methods, processes, and evaluation criteria by which the systems, subsystems, and work products are verified against in a written plan
• Review and provide input to program and contract work breakdown structure (WBS), work packages, and the integrated master plan (IMP)
• Provide architectural direction for the development, engineering, interfacing, integration, and testing of specific components of complex hardware/software systems to include requirements elicitation, analysis and functional allocation, conducting systems requirements reviews, developing concepts of operation and interface standards, developing system architectures, and performing technical/non- technical assessment and management as well as end-to-end flow analysis
• Develop and implement comprehensive SOA solutions, operational view, technical standards view, and system and services view for architectures using applicable DoDAF standards and software
• Develop scenarios (threads) and an Operational Concept that describes the interactions between the system, the user, and the environment, that satisfies operational, support, maintenance, and disposal needs
• Capture all interface designs in a common interface control format, and store interface data in a commonly accessible repository
• Prepare time-line analysis diagrams illustrating the flow of time-dependent functions
• Establish a process to formally and pro-actively control and manage changes to requirements, consider impacts prior to commitment to change, gain stakeholder buy-in, eliminate ambiguity, ensure traceability to source requirements, and track and settle open actions
• Assess each risk to the program and determine the probability of occurrence and quantified consequence of failure in accordance with an approved risk management plan
• Manage and maintain the technical integrity of the system baseline over time, continually updating it as various changes are imposed on the system during the lifecycle from development through deployment and operations & maintenance, providing insight into impacts to other areas of the architecture based on changes to the system
• In conjunction with system stakeholders, plan the verification efforts of new and unproven designs early in the development life cycle to ensure compliance with established requirements
• Support the development and review of Joint Capability Integration Development System (JCIDS) documents (e.g., Initial Capability Document, Capabilities Description Document, IA Strategy)
• Maintain knowledge of current and evolving agency, national, and international standards applicable to the system development of interest
• Apply and enforce use of suitable standards to ensure consistency and interoperability of developer hardware and software
• Ensure effective, periodic review and control of the evolving configuration of a system, both hardware and software components and associated documentation, during the life of the system
• Maintain proficiency with architectural tools currently used by the acquisition community which includes but is not limited to: DOORS, MagicDraw, Visio, and Powerpoint
• Develop system design alternatives that consider life cycle cost, reuse, complexity, risk, system expansion, and growth

Minimum Qualifications

• Must have a minimum of an active US Secret level clearance
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, or related Scientific or Technical discipline ( Four (4) years direct relevant technical experience may be accepted in lieu of degree)
• Minimum of five (5) years Systems Architecture experience including DoDAF and SOA
• Extensive experience with the Product Office
• Strong written and oral communication skills
• Good interpersonal skills and communication with all levels of management and cross-functional team leadership and coordination
