As the Systems Architect for the EW LoB, you will:

• Lead the development of solution strategies, approaches and roadmaps for the EW LoB in line with Capability roadmaps, leaning on industry standard approaches such as Product Line Engineering, as well as being able to innovate and tailor as required.
• Lead the production of candidate system solutions and architectures at all levels of abstraction and lead key decision making activities to support evaluation of these against cost, value and compliance and an understanding of appropriate inclusion and identification of design margins.
• Define and document enterprise level procedures, guidance and best practice for system architecting and associated tools
• Work with the Bid & Project Manager to estimate the cost based on alternative solutions and approaches
• Responsible for architectural decision making including trade off analysis and supplier/partnership strategies
• Responsible for thought leadership within the relevant stakeholder communities, including white papers, conferences, networking, reports and presentations as applicable.
• Contribute to development of enterprise architectures across campaigns and programmes
• Contribute to the initiation and development of external strategic relationships to enable delivery
