Cloud Deployment and Operations

  • Containerization: Enable rapid deployment of scalable and microservices-based solutions using container technologies.
  • Infrastructure Automation: Use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, Ansible, and AWS CloudFormation to automate provisioning, monitoring, and patch management for cloud resources that support team objectives.
  • High Availability: Architect fault-tolerant and redundant systems optimized for uninterrupted support to program management office workflows and acquisitions.

Support For Rapid Team Functions And Acquisitions

  • Data and Collaboration Solutions: Design and deploy databases and storage systems for managing lifecycle engineering data and deliverables associated with rapid acquisition operations.
  • Collaboration Frameworks: Support simultaneous access to PMO tools and workflows by multidisciplinary teams, ensuring efficient and secure communication of program-critical information.
  • Disaster Recovery Protocols: Build robust disaster recovery solutions to safeguard Golden Dome SBI PMO operations and ensure resilience across all engineering and acquisition activities.

Performance Optimization for PMO Enablement

  • Optimize cloud-based solutions to meet compute-intensive demands of engineering workflows and ensure efficiency in acquisition deliverables.
  • Cost Optimization: Develop strategies to manage program budgets without sacrificing performance or functionality, ensuring cloud operations remain scalable and cost-effective.

Innovation and Emerging Technologies

  • Emerging Capabilities: Design solutions that enable the team to adopt emerging technologies, tools, and engineering frameworks in alignment with overall program goals.
  • AI/ML Integration: Architect cloud-enabled artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions to support predictive analytics and decision-making for acquisitions and program operations.

Collaboration and Communication for Standup

  • Stakeholder Engagement: Partner with program managers, engineers, cybersecurity experts, and cross-functional teams to align cloud designs with operational needs.
  • Develop and maintain detailed architectural design documents to ensure smooth support and scalability of workflows.

Qualifications

  • 10 years of cloud architecture experience, including work supporting government, defense, or aerospace environments.
  • Expertise with Digital Engineering Environment tools and their integration into cloud architectures to enable secure lifecycle management and collaboration frameworks.
  • Proven proficiency in DoD compliance frameworks, including RMF, CMMC, FedRAMP, NIST SP 800-53, and STIG standards.
  • Practical experience with creating automated cloud infrastructures using IoC tools like Terraform, Ansible, and CloudFormation.
  • Extensive knowledge of containerization tools and their application to scalable engineering workflows.
  • Strong foundation in digital engineering tools and methodologies, including MBSE systems, PLM tools, and simulation platforms.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 15 years of cloud architecture experience, including work with SAP/SCI environments and supporting high-security mission-critical operations.
  • Master’s degree in Cloud Computing, Systems Engineering, or related fields is preferred but not required.
  • Familiarity with Agile methodologies and DevSecOps environments to support rapid system prototyping and PMO agility for acquisitions.
  • Expertise integrating AI/ML frameworks into cloud-based solutions to promote predictive analytics for efficiency.

Clearance Requirements
