Résumé du poste

FALCATA is seeking a Senior Product Architect to lead the architecture and technical direction of integrated RF-based solutions for ISR and weapon systems. The role is based in Aurora, CO, Arlington, VA, Huntsville, AL, or fully remote (US).

You will drive architectural coherence and reuse across platform integrations, ensuring scalable, interoperable, and producible solutions. The ideal candidate holds a BS in engineering, 12+ years in defense/aerospace, and a TOP SECRET DoD clearance with U.S.

Qualifications

• Minimum BS in an engineering discipline (electrical, mechanical, software, etc.) or applied science (physics, mathematics).
• Minimum 12 years of experience in industry.
• Deep experience in system architecture for complex defense or aerospace systems.
• Ability to think across hardware, software, interfaces, mission behaviors, and lifecycle constraints.
• Demonstrated success creating reusable, modular architectures across more than one platform or product.
• Strong understanding of integrated sensing, mission software, autonomy interfaces, and platform constraints.
• Ability to balance technical elegance with practical implementation, schedule, and cost realities.
• Ability to lead through influence across multiple teams rather than direct line authority alone.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, especially for technical decision‑making and trade studies.
• Able to prioritize work and maximize productivity.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a TOP SECRET DoD Clearance.
• U.S. Citizenship required.

Responsabilités

• Define and govern architectural coherence, technical reuse, and cross-platform consistency across a product line or mission capability portfolio.
• Define and maintain the technical architecture for a product line spanning multiple platform integrations.
• Establish common interface standards, data products, performance assumptions, and architectural design rules.
• Drive technical reuse across platforms, sensors, software components, and integration patterns.
• Serve as the primary technical authority for decisions that affect more than one platform or product variant.
• Guide platform teams on how to implement product-line capabilities while preserving commonality where it matters.
• Partner with System Architects and engineering leads to ensure platform-specific designs align with product‑line architecture.
• Identify where architectural flexibility is needed to support different sensors, host platforms, autonomy engines, or mission packages.
• Lead technical trade studies related to modularity, common interfaces, performance, scalability, and future growth.
• Help shape roadmaps by identifying enabling architectural investments and technical debt reduction priorities.
• Support proposal and capture activities with technical strategies that maximize reuse and reduce future fragmentation.
• Coordinate with Product Engineering Services to ensure architecture can be implemented, tested, and sustained realistically.
• Maintain visibility into technical risks, obsolescence, and divergence across the product line
