SAIC is seeking a Lead Cloud Architect in support of the Space Development Agency (SDA) Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Futures Program (PFP), Ground Segment (GS) Integration (PGI). The goal of the PGI is to provide a common, enduring, ground infrastructure and resources to minimize cost and complexity for PFP space vehicle demonstration and experimentation programs.

This position is Remote with occasional travel to customer sites.

This position will be responsible for leading the development of a cloud-based Ground Resource Manager to schedule, manage, and control terrestrial communications. Responsible for the cloud-based infrastructure that supports the ground and interfacing systems, segments, and components in their development, test, and operational needs. Responsible for developing, maintaining, and enhancing complex and diverse software systems (e.g., processing-intensive analytics, novel algorithm development, manipulation of extremely large data sets, real-time systems, and business management information systems) based upon documented requirements. The Lead Cloud Architect will work to develop a cloud based cross-domain solution that supports data at the CUI, Secret, and Top Secret/SCI, or higher levels with multi-security cloud environments. The successful candidate will collaborate with the lead network engineer and software engineer to define and identify standards and interfaces needed to ensure interoperability with SVVs and other ground systems.
