system integration
compliance
trade studies
technical liaison
The System Architect defines, owns, and governs the end‑to‑end architecture for the Enterprise dashboard that supports NAVSUP readiness posture assessment. This role translates evolving mission requirements into a secure, scalable, and integrated system that delivers accurate, trusted metrics, and serves as the technical authority across the system lifecycle with a focus on data architecture, integration, and mission alignment.
Key responsibilities include establishing and maintaining the technical vision for the ReadyForce dashboard, ensuring compliance with enterprise architecture, DoD, and cybersecurity standards, and translating stakeholder needs into architectural patterns and solutions during pilot phases. The architect leads trade studies, governs data architecture and metric definitions, designs integration solutions, and documents standards, while also defining non‑functional requirements such as performance, scalability, and resiliency.
Acting as the primary technical liaison, the architect coordinates with NAVSUP stakeholders, program leadership, and engineering teams to communicate architectural decisions, assumptions, and tradeoffs to both technical and non‑technical audiences, ensuring a shared understanding of system intent, constraints, and risks.
