Position Role Type:

Onsite

Collins Aerospace is a company of innovators committed to building a safer and more connected world. Our Secure Information Systems (SIS) Department works to protect information and is looking for an Software Architect. With more than 100 NSA certified products, we are broadly engaged across all aspects of information transmission, delivering innovative solutions that span space, ground, airborne, shipboard, government, civil, and commercial customers. Our engineers design, develop and test products that protect information up to the highest level of national security, focusing on data encryption/decryption and cybersecurity.

The SIS SW Architect will be responsible for developing and managing the software architecture for all SIS programs as well as providing guidance to program-level software architects. The role requires developing a TMP software roadmap and providing the leadership necessary to define new processes as well as enhancing existing processes across SIS with a focus on DevSecOps. This person will also serve as a direct interface to the customer during important customer reviews/meetings (i.e., when program SW architect leadership is insufficient). The communication and collaboration with the customer as well as with other engineering disciplines is required to ensure that SW architectures support SIS program's needs. It is imperative that the SIS SW Architect has the vision to see where SW architectures are evolving and how they provide adaptability for future capability enhancement. 

The TMP SW Architect will be involved in business development, IRAD, and proposals. With the shift to more software centric systems, the SW architecture content is an extremely important facet in new pursuits. Creating the vision for innovative software baselines and then being able to effectively communicate that vision (to program management, potential customers, and the capture team) will require an experienced, highly effective SW Architect.   

The TMP SW Architect will work with the technical leadership at TMP program startup ensuring that the software architecture is understood by all disciplines. In this program startup role, the TMP SW Architect will also lead the analysis of issues that directly affect the software architecture and potentially the hardware architecture. The successful candidate will have a systems level approach to resolving complex programs and the ability to convince leadership that the proposed solution is best for the company (including program cost and schedule as well as the technical solution).

This position is eligible for relocation assistance.
