We are looking for a Senior Solutions Architect to serve as the primary technical bridge between our advanced networking software and complex government mission requirements. You will architect software-defined networking (SDN) solutions for satellite, airborne, and deep-space mesh networks, ensuring resilient connectivity across land, sea, air, and space.

The Role

You will lead the technical lifecycle for government and defense clients, moving from initial discovery to successful deployment. This is a high-impact role requiring a mix of distributed systems expertise, RF/Optical communication knowledge, and the ability to navigate federal acquisition environments.

Architect Solutions: Design end-to-end network orchestrations for moving platforms (LEO/MEO/GEO satellites and aircraft).

Technical Advisory: Lead discovery sessions, deliver high-fidelity technical demonstrations, and act as a subject matter expert during the pre-sales and pilot phases.

Strategy & Content: Develop reference architectures, technical proposals, and implementation roadmaps that translate complex SDN capabilities into mission-ready value.

Product Influence: Act as a feedback loop between the field and the engineering team to shape the roadmap based on government requirements.

Core Qualifications

Experience: 7+ years in technical pre-sales, solutions architecture, or systems engineering within the aerospace or defense sectors.

Networking Mastery: Deep understanding of distributed systems, cloud architecture (AWS/GCP/Azure), and modern SDN principles.

Domain Expertise: Strong background in satellite communications (SatCom), wireless networking, or spectrum management.

Communication: Proven ability to explain high-dimensional technical concepts to both GS-level decision-makers and specialized engineers.

Security Clearance: Active Top Secret clearance required.

Education: BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.

Preferred Skills

Experience with JADC2, tactical data links, or multi-domain operations.

Familiarity with network orchestration in dynamic or contested environments.

Background in technical writing for federal proposals and RFI/RFP responses.
