Solutions Architect

EMSO Solution Architect (Job Number: R0242621) Sometimes a customer describes a challenge, and the complete solution forms in your mind so clearly that you catch yourself thinking, if only I could build this right now. When you have designed, integrated, and fielded a wide range of radio‑frequency and Electromagnetic Warfare systems, you reach a level where you can create effective solutions for any spectrum‑related challenge while also anticipating and countering emerging threats before they appear. You become the systems engineer trusted to secure tactical and operational advantage in the spectrum. You build this capability through years of hands‑on development guiding software efforts, leveraging commercial off‑the‑shelf hardware, and deep understanding of how sensing, effects, analytics, and mission applications combine to enable Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations for tactical and operational customers. Responsibilities As a systems engineer on a mixed discipline team, you will translate complex radio‑frequency, Electromagnetic Warfare, and Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations mission needs into actionable system concepts and designs. You will guide the application and advancements of a reliable, proven software architecture and modular hardware approach to produce scalable signal‑processing solutions and rapidly fieldable prototypes. You will guide systems requirements development, hardware trade analysis, integration, and test following a systems development methodology. Your work will shape how the Department of War adopts and evolves spectrum‑driven technologies, from early‑stage concepts and demonstrations to full integration into operational systems. You will adjust capability roadmaps as threats evolve, develop and deliver solution briefs, engage with stakeholders, and highlight advancements at conferences and trade shows. Once you have mastered these responsibilities, the next step is to mentor the engineers who will define the future battlespace and drive the next generation of RF, Electromagnetic Warfare, and Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations innovation. Qualifications 5+ years of experience designing and developing RF, Electromagnetic Warfare, or Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations solutions using software and commercial off‑the‑shelf hardware Experience with systems design and documentation using MS Visio or Atlassian for task tracking and documentation Knowledge of mission‑critical systems integration, including interoperability between RF front‑ends, mission‑application software and hardware, signal‑processing frameworks, and military systems within the Department of War environment Knowledge of how sensing, effects, analytics, and mission applications integrate into full spectrum‑operations systems Ability to work in Agile development environments with continuous‑integration and DevSecOps practices that support rapid prototyping, scalable digital‑signal‑processing pipelines, and accelerated delivery of fieldable RF, EW, and EMSO capabilities Ability to establish trust, communicate effectively, and maintain strong relationships with clients, operators, mission stakeholders, and technical partners, ensuring alignment of RF, EW, and EMSO mission needs with system design and capability roadmaps Ability to travel 25% of the time Secret clearance Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, or a Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) field Preferred Qualifications 10+ years of experience developing modular, service‑based RF and EW mission applications using microservices, well‑defined API specifications, and distributed processing frameworks to support scalable spectrum operations Experience with orchestration and containerized deployments, such as Docker, Kubernetes, and serverless platforms to enable rapid fielding, automated scaling, and reliable delivery of RF, digital‑signal‑processing, and EW mission services across contested environments Experience applying cloud technologies and data‑engineering techniques to host, process, and fuse high‑volume RF and EW data, supporting real‑time analytics and operationally relevant prototype deployments Knowledge of advanced analytics, artificial‑intelligence and machine‑learning workflows, and the use of disciplined MLOps pipelines to support adaptive, intelligent spectrum‑operations decision making Possession of excellent verbal and written communication skills for presenting technical EW and EMSO concepts, explaining architecture decisions, and delivering capability demonstrations to mission stakeholders TS/SCI clearance Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or STEM field CompTIA Security+ Certification Clearance Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information; Secret clearance is required.
