Role Description

Seeking a Senior Architect to lead solution architecture, MBSE, and digital engineering for the USTRANSCOM Joint Transportation Management System (JTMS), a large-scale enterprise capability integrating transportation, logistics, and financial business processes through a COTS/ERP-based modernization. This role defines and governs end-to-end architecture products, ensures traceability from mission needs through solution design, and drives digital engineering strategy aligned to DoD transformation objectives.

Key Responsibilities

• Architectural Leadership: Lead development and maintenance of operational, business, system, data, and integration architecture for JTMS using MBSE methodologies and DoDAF/UAF frameworks.
• Systems Modeling: Develop and manage system models in SysML/UML to capture requirements, workflows, interfaces, constraints, and end-to-end mission threads with full traceability.
• Digital Engineering Strategy: Drive adoption of the digital thread, authoritative model repositories, configuration management, and model-driven decision support across the program lifecycle.
• Solution Design: Translate business, operational, and compliance requirements into scalable solution architectures supporting COTS/ERP implementation and enterprise integration.
• Integration & Interoperability: Define integration patterns, interface specifications, data exchanges, and interoperability requirements across DoD, Service, Agency, and partner systems.
• Governance & Reviews: Establish architecture governance, modeling standards, technical baselines, and design review processes; brief senior government and military leadership.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with functional, engineering, cybersecurity, test, and program teams to resolve gaps, risks, and cross-domain dependencies.
• Roadmap & Transition: Contribute to technology roadmap development, transition planning, implementation strategy, and business process reengineering.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field.
• 7+ years of experience in enterprise/system/solution architecture for large-scale federal or DoD IT programs.
• 5+ years of hands-on MBSE and/or Digital Engineering experience in complex system-of-systems environments.
• Experience developing architecture products using SysML, UML, and DoDAF/UAF or comparable modeling frameworks.
• Experience with automated generation of technical documentation, reports, and deliverables directly from system architecture models.
• Proficiency with MBSE tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler (MagicDraw), Sparx EA, or equivalent.
• Experience with enterprise integration, APIs/interfaces, data architecture, and requirements traceability.
• Demonstrated ability to align operational and business processes with system and solution architecture.
• Strong communication skills including technical briefings and architecture documentation for executive-level audiences.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret security clearance.

Desired Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Systems Engineering, Enterprise Architecture, or related field.
• Active DoD Secret clearance.
• Direct experience supporting USTRANSCOM, DoD logistics, transportation, supply chain, or ERP modernization programs.
• Familiarity with digital twin, digital baseline management, and AI/ML integration within MBSE frameworks.
• Experience architecting solutions that integrate COTS/ERP platforms with custom DoD systems.
• Demonstrated ability to extend MBSE tool capabilities through scripting, APIs, or plugins.
• Experience with one or more of the following: cloud-based architectures, DevSecOps pipelines, or zero trust architectures in DoD environments (AWS GovCloud, IL4/IL5).
• Knowledge of DoD acquisition lifecycle, JCIDS, and business process reengineering in enterprise transformation.
• Certifications such as OCSMP, INCOSE CSEP/ESEP, TOGAF, SAFe, or AWS/Azure architecture certifications.
