Job description

Live, Virtual, and Constructive Solutions Architect

The Opportunity: At a certain point, experience-based system design can start to look like clairvoyance. When you’ve developed so many systems that you can not only orchestrate the best solution for any technology-based challenge, but you can also anticipate and preempt future issues, you’re a solutions architect. You’ve evolved your skills into strategy through a long path of Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) training environment accomplishments and the curiosity to understand how all the pieces of an LVC ecosystem fit together. Are you ready to use your combination of knowledge, skill, and experience to take on the toughest challenges in the LVC training industry?

As an LVC Solutions Architect you will support distributed training, experimentation, mission rehearsal, and test events for Marine Corps and Navy clients. Lead the technical design and integration of Department of Defense networks, simulators, range instrumentation, training applications, and Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems. Develop practical LVC strategies aligned to mission and business needs, translate operational requirements into engineered solutions, and guide multidisciplinary teams through integration, testing, fielding, cybersecurity authorization, and sustainment. Advise client leaders on modernization opportunities that connect legacy and emerging training capabilities while improving interoperability, readiness, and cost effectiveness. Provide technical leadership across geographically distributed sites and coordinate with uniformed personnel, Government civilians, industry partners, and contractor teams. Support exercise and event planning from individual through joint-level training, troubleshoot complex system-of-systems issues, and communicate technical recommendations to senior stakeholders. Contribute to solution development, technical reviews, risk management, and knowledge transfer, including instruction or mentoring in systems engineering and LVC fundamentals. Work with us and build solutions for the Live, Virtual and Constructive Training Environments for our clients. Join us. The world can’t wait.

You Have:

• 8+ years of experience with defense systems, military training systems, systems engineering, systems integration, or distributed simulation
• Experience with Live, Virtual, and Constructive environments, distributed simulation, modeling and simulation, or simulation-based training and designing or integrating DoD training networks, simulation systems, training applications, or range systems
• Experience leading technical integration, testing, fielding, troubleshooting, or sustainment activities in a complex system-of-systems environment and translating operational or training requirements into system architectures, integration approaches, or technical solutions
• Experience working with DoD organizations such as Marine Corps, Navy, or joint
• Knowledge of systems engineering processes, including requirements analysis, interface management, technical risk management, verification, or validation
• Knowledge of DoD cybersecurity or Risk Management Framework requirements for systems operating on unclassified or classified networks
• Ability to develop and present technical recommendations to Government, military, and contractor stakeholders
• Ability to travel up to 25% of the time
• Secret clearance
• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Systems Engineering, Engineering, or Computer Science

Nice If You Have:

• Experience in Joint at COCOM level staff
• Experience serving as a solutions architect, technical lead, systems engineering lead, site lead, or integration lead for a defense training or simulation program
• Experience with DoD acquisition, DOTMLPF analysis, interoperability testing, test readiness reviews, design reviews, functional configuration audits, or physical configuration audits
• Experience leading multidisciplinary teams and coordinating across Government, military, engineering, cybersecurity, operations, and industry stakeholders
• Experience teaching, mentoring, or developing technical instruction in systems engineering, modeling and simulation, or LVC
• Master's degree in Information Systems, Systems Engineering, Engineering, Business, or a related field
• Graduate of MOS 8825, Army FA57 M&S, or Civilian CP36
• Agile, Lean Six Sigma, systems engineering, project management, low-code development, or related professional
• Certification Clearance: Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information; Secret clearance is required.
