Digital Engineering Environment (DEE) Cloud Architect SME

Cloud Solution Design for SSC PMO Support Architect and deploy secure and scalable cloud-based solutions tailored for rapidly standing up and supporting the SSC Program Management Office for Golden Dome SBI. Implement cloud infrastructure optimized for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) processes including collaboration, data access, change management, and engineering workflows using Microsoft PLx tools. Scalability Design: Ensure cloud solutions accommodate growing workloads, increasing user demands, and future system integrations to support rapid acquisitions and DEE expansion. System Integration: Seamlessly integrate engineering tools (e.g., MBSE platforms, PLM software, CAD, and simulation tools) with the cloud environment to enhance PMO operations. Cybersecurity Frameworks: Implement security controls that adhere to DoD Risk Management Framework (RMF), Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), and relevant guidelines such as NIST SP 800-53 and FedRAMP for handling classified or sensitive data. Access and Identity Management: Design secure Identity Access Management (IAM) frameworks to protect sensitive SSC PMO data and ensure operational compliance across all cloud workflows. STIG Compliance: Apply Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) requirements to all hosted cloud systems, ensuring hardened infrastructure and mission security readiness. 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 Develop and maintain detailed architectural design documents to ensure smooth support and scalability of PMO workflows. 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. 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 PMO efficiency. Active TOP SECRET (TS) clearance with eligibility for Sensitive Compartmentalized Information (SCI). U.S. Citizenship is required for this position.
