Remote Systems Architect Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We are seeking a Systems Architect to design, optimize, and integrate complex system architectures that enable effective data flow, interoperability, and mission performance. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of how systems connect, communicate, and exchange data, and will be responsible for defining architectural interfaces, data-sharing strategies, and output requirements across multiple systems and components.

Key Responsibilities:

Architecture Design & Integration:

• Determine optimal methods for interconnecting systems to enhance overall architecture performance, scalability, and reliability.
• Design and define system interfaces, integration pathways, and communication mechanisms.

Data Architecture & Interoperability:

• Identify what data should be shared across systems to support mission needs, analytics, and operational decision-making.
• Define the data outputs the architecture must generate, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and alignment with user or mission requirements.
• Develop data flow diagrams, interface control documents (ICDs), and architecture models.

Performance Optimization:

• Evaluate existing system architectures to identify opportunities for improved performance, reduced latency, and increased system resilience.
• Recommend architectural enhancements or system changes based on technical analysis and best practices.

Requirements Analysis & Translation:

• Work with stakeholders to understand mission or customer requirements and translate them into architectural designs, data needs, and integration specifications.
• Ensure that architectural solutions meet technical, schedule, security, and cost constraints.

Collaboration & Technical Leadership:

• Collaborate with engineers, program managers, and external partners to ensure coherent system-of-systems integration.
• Provide architectural guidance throughout development, testing, and deployment phases.

*This position is designed to be flexible, with responsibilities evolving to meet business needs and enable individual growth.

Requirements:

• TS/SCI (will need to obtain a CI Poly)
• Experience with remote sensing systems, including satellite and airborne platforms
• Expertise in designing, integrating, and optimizing complex system architectures
• Strong knowledge of system interoperability, interface design, and system-to-system communications
• Experience defining data-sharing requirements, system outputs, and performance metrics
• Ability to analyze and optimize architecture performance, reliability, and resiliency
• Senior systems engineering experience across requirements, solutions, integration, test and evaluation, and lifecycle analysis
• Experience supporting NSG, ASG, and Federal Agency systems
• Senior DoD/IC programmatic management experience with systems architecture/engineering focus
• Skilled in requirements capture, traceability, and translating mission needs into technical solutions
• Experience allocating requirements across architecture components and executing programs
• Hands-on systems integration experience
• Strong communication and documentation skills, including diagrams and interface documentation
• Willingness to travel to support meetings and imaging system field tests
• MA/MS with 13+ years of relevant experience, or BA/BS with 15+ years of relevant experience in a related discipline
