  • Establish software architecture governance through Architecture Review Boards, design standards, reusable frameworks, and technical decision processes.
  • Partner with Chief Engineers to ensure software architectures align with overall system architecture, technical baselines, and product roadmaps.
  • Drive adoption of modular, scalable, and reusable software architectures supporting MOSA, OMS, FACE, and emerging defense standards.
  • Lead software modernization initiatives including containerization, cloud-native services, DevSecOps, CI/CD automation, Infrastructure Code, and software factory implementation.
  • Define enterprise software development standards including coding practices, architectural patterns, API governance, software quality metrics, and secure software development lifecycle practices.
  • Provide technical leadership for AI-enabled capabilities, autonomy frameworks, computer vision, machine learning integration, and data-driven mission applications.
  • Guide software architecture supporting mixed reality, augmented reality, real-time visualization, synthetic training environments, and distributed simulation.
  • Ensure software architectures meet performance requirements for latency, determinism, scalability, cybersecurity, reliability, and maintainability.
  • Collaborate with Systems Engineering to support Digital Engineering initiatives, MBSE, requirements of traceability, interface management, and verification planning.
  • Identify technical risks, conduct architecture trade studies, and establish mitigation strategies.
  • Support staffing needs for software team and mentor Principal Engineers, Software Architects, and Software Engineering Managers.
  • Partner with Business Development and executive leadership during customer engagements and proposal development.
  • Represent Red 6 as the senior software architecture leader with government customers, partners, and executive stakeholders.

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related STEM discipline (master's preferred; PhD a plus).

  • Demonstrated experience defining enterprise software architectures spanning embedded systems, distributed computing, cloud platforms, and real-time applications.
  • Proven experience leading software architecture across complex hardware/software integrated systems.
  • Experience developing and certifying flight or safety critical software, especially for airborne platforms using DO-178 and/or AC-17-01.
  • Deep understanding of microservices, event-driven architectures, distributed systems, containerized applications, and edge computing.
  • Experience implementing DevSecOps, CI/CD, software factories, and secure software development methodologies.
  • Strong understanding of embedded Linux, RTOS, GPU computing, networking, and high-performance software architectures.
  • Experience integrating software with avionics, mission systems, sensors, or defense communication architectures.
  • Excellent executive communication and leadership skills.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience developing software for AR, VR, MR, or advanced visualization systems.
  • Experience with real-time graphics engines, rendering pipelines, GPU programming, or computer vision.
  • Experience architecting AI/ML-enabled software platforms supporting autonomy or synthetic training.
  • Experience with OMS, FACE, MOSA, CMOSS, or similar DoD standards.
  • Experience supporting aircraft mission systems or airborne computing.
  • Experience with Kubernetes, cloud-native infrastructure, hybrid cloud, and edge deployment.
  • Experience implementing Digital Engineering and MBSE.
  • Experience with RMF, Zero Trust, and DoD cybersecurity frameworks.
