Description

Leidos' National Security Sector is seeking a dynamic, highly experienced, and motivated Senior Solution Architect to join our team and drive the development and capture of innovative solutions for our National Intelligence Customers.

This role requires a deep understanding of the Intelligence Community landscape, particularly within the GEOINT domain, and the ability to translate complex technical requirements into compelling and innovative solutions. The Solution Architect will be responsible for developing winning technical proposals, leading solution design, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment with customer needs and company objectives.

Please note : While this position allows for telework, you need to reside within the Washington Metropolitan Area (WMA) for required frequent local travel around the WMA for customer, corporate, and business development engagements, as well as to access customer networks.

Our program performance encompasses critical mission areas, including :

  • End-to-end GEOINT Operations : Managing the full lifecycle of geospatial information, from collection and analysis to dissemination and use.
  • Advanced GEOINT Data Operations : Modernizing data access and analysis through integrated capabilities and advanced analytic environments.
  • Core IT System Sustainment : Providing comprehensive IT support for critical systems, ensuring reliability and security.
  • Geospatial Mission Support : Delivering IT solutions and expertise for diverse missions, including aeronautical, maritime, topographic, and geopolitical analysis.
  • Foundational Geospatial Data Management : Maintaining core geospatial data (names, places, boundaries, elevation, etc.).
  • Immersive Training Solutions : Developing augmented and virtual reality environments for mission planning and training.
  • Data Discovery Platforms : Maintaining and improving platforms for efficient geospatial information access.
  • Advanced Foundational GEOINT Missions : Advancing topographic, aeronautical, and maritime missions through innovative solutions.
  • Secure Access Management : Providing ICAM services and Zero Trust best practices for next-generation data access and information sharing.

Primary Responsibilities :

  • Lead the development of technical solutions for complex business captures, including proposal writing, architecture diagrams, solution narratives, and cost estimations.
  • Conduct thorough requirements analysis and translate customer needs into actionable technical specifications.
  • Collaborate with business development, engineering, and other stakeholders to develop winning capture strategies.
  • Provide technical leadership and guidance to capture teams.
  • Develop and present technical briefings and demonstrations to customers.
  • Stay abreast of emerging technologies and industry trends, particularly within the GEOINT and IC domains.
  • Contribute to the development of internal best practices and methodologies for solution architecture and capture management.
  • Maintain and leverage existing customer relationships while cultivating new ones.
  • Mentor and guide junior architects and engineers.
  • Support post-capture activities, including transition to implementation teams.
  • Basic Qualifications :

  • Masters degree and 15+ years of relevant experience in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems; or Bachelor's degree and 17+ years of relevant experience.
  • Recent experience should include solution architecture, capture execution, and technical leadership with a strong focus on the Intelligence Community in the GEOINT and Space domains.
  • Government contracting industry experience required with deep understanding of NGA, DIA, and other Intelligence Community customer needs and priorities.
  • Demonstrated success in solutioning for winning major government contracts.
  • Deep understanding of government contract regulations and acquisition processes.
  • Expertise in developing technical solutions for complex IT systems, including cloud-based architectures, data analytics platforms, and geospatial processing tools.
  • Expertise in developing and executing investment and IRAD strategies to maximize win rates on strategic captures
  • Strong understanding of software development methodologies and best practices.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
  • Familiarity with SAFE Agile development methodologies.
  • Familiarity with GEOINT data and processing techniques.
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills.  Proven experience communicating complex technical concepts to both internal and external stakeholders.
  • Active Top Secret clearance is required.
  • Must be willing to undergo and maintain a TS / SCI clearance with Polygraph.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Active TS / SCI clearance with Polygraph
  • Experience with space systems development, including payload integration, ground systems, and mission operations.
  • Certifications in relevant technical domains (e.g., cloud architecture, cybersecurity).
  • Come break things (in a good way). Then build them smarter.

    We're the tech company everyone calls when things get weird. We don’t wear capes (they’re a safety hazard), but we do solve high-stakes problems with code, caffeine, and a healthy disregard for “how it’s always been done.”
