This is where your skills strengthen national security, cybersecurity, health, transportation, and citizen services. We’re a nonprofit engineering, applied research, and advanced technology organization working in the public interest. With objectivity and integrity at our core, we lead federally funded research and development centers for U.S. government agencies - collaborating with industry and academia to deliver integrated, high-impact solutions that advance our nation’s health, security, and prosperity. Our people tackle the toughest technical challenges, supported by competitive benefits, meaningful career development, and a culture of innovation, collaboration, and technical excellence. Choose MITRE for a career with purpose - and help shape the future.Department Summary:\nMission Computing, L080, is a new division being established to accelerate how MITRE turns technical possibility into mission capability. We're bringing together supercomputing, AI services, secure lab and cloud infrastructure, and modern engineering tooling, all organized as a front-line function that shapes how teams across MITRE build, experiment, and deliver. The AI and Mission Enablement department is the applied AI and services adoption arm of Mission Computing. Its role is to make MITRE's AI and mission platform investments practical for mission work: giving staff usable paths to approved tools, workflows, reusable patterns, data integrations, development environments, hands-on experimentation, and high-touch technical support. The department helps teams move beyond isolated experiments into secure, repeatable ways of using platforms and computing environments in all aspects of their work.\nAs Mission Computing stands up, AI and Mission Enablement will sit between infrastructure and practice. The department will work with platform teams, mission users, laboratories, Enterprise Technology, Information Security Services, and AI communities across MITRE to standardize how capabilities are discovered, integrated, taught, supported, and scaled across approved data and security environments. Its work is to make AI and platforms easier to learn, easier to trust, easier to connect to MITRE workflows, and easier to apply responsibly to mission problems. Mission Solutions Architecture is the group that turns mission needs, customer demand, platform options, access pathways, and solution-design tradeoffs into executable architectures and delivery paths for a mission-centric MITRE.\nRoles & Responsibilities:\nMITRE's AI and Mission Enablement Department within the Mission Computing Division is seeking a Senior Mission Solutions Architect to serve as a technical individual contributor and front-door partner between mission teams and Mission Computing capabilities. The Senior Mission Solutions Architect will independently shape solution architectures, discover and translate customer needs, evaluate technical tradeoffs, and help mission teams move from an initial need to an executable delivery path. Roles and responsibilities include:\nEngage mission customers and internal stakeholders to understand objectives, constraints, workflows, data, security context, and success criteria; translate ambiguous needs into clear technical requirements and solution concepts.\nDevelop and document solution architectures that map mission needs to Mission Computing platforms, access patterns, secure compute environments, data flows, developer tooling, policies, and system-design options.\nProduce actionable implementation guidance, descriptive backlog entries, architecture artifacts, decision records, and delivery roadmaps for platform, infrastructure, capability, and service teams.\nIndependently evaluate solution alternatives and technical tradeoffs using multiple sources of information; identify risks, dependencies, gaps, and practical paths forward.\nSupport and improve front-door, demand-discovery, onboarding, consulting, and feedback processes; identify recurring customer patterns and share insights that improve services and adoption pathways.\nServe as a trusted technical partner to mission teams by helping users discover and navigate approved capabilities, access processes, constraints, and support models; communicate complex concepts and build consensus among peers and stakeholders.\nCollaborate with platform teams, laboratories, Enterprise Technology, Information Security Services, software, data, and systems engineering communities, and technical leadership; lead defined technical tasks or small efforts and provide knowledge transfer and informal guidance as appropriate.\nBasic Qualifications:\nMinimum of 5 years of related experience with a Bachelor's degree; or 3 years and a Master's degree; or a PhD with relevant experience; or equivalent combination of related education and work experience.\nExperience applying solution architecture, systems architecture, requirements analysis, mission needs translation, platform integration, secure computing, access patterns, data workflows, cloud or hybrid platforms, developer tooling, mission computing, or related technical practices.\nExperience engaging customers or mission stakeholders to understand needs and independently translate them into solution concepts, architecture products, implementation guidance, backlog entries, or delivery roadmaps.\nExperience evaluating technical options and tradeoffs, analyzing information from multiple sources, and identifying risks, dependencies, and practical solutions to complex problems.\nAbility to communicate complex technical information, build consensus, and collaborate with technical users, project leaders, platform teams, Enterprise Technology partners, security or compliance stakeholders, and senior leadership; ability to lead defined tasks or small technical efforts as needed.\nMust be eligible to obtain and maintain a Secret U.S Government issued Security Clearance. Per the U.S. Government’s eligibility requirements, you must be a U.S Citizen to be considered for a security clearance.\nAbility to work a minimum 3 days per-week on-site presence in McLean, VA or Bedford, MA and travel up to 5%.\nPreferred Qualifications:\nGraduate degree in computer science, information systems, engineering, cybersecurity, systems engineering, or a related technical field.\nExperience performing customer-facing solution architecture, technical consulting, requirements discovery, platform intake, or capability adoption for mission, engineering, analytic, infrastructure, or enterprise technology users.\nExperience translating ambiguous customer needs into solution concepts, system-design options, access patterns, implementation instructions, backlog entries, roadmaps, or delivery plans for technical teams.\nExperience working across on-prem, hybrid, cloud, CUI-capable, classified-adjacent, laboratory, or other controlled computing environments to help users identify appropriate platforms, workflows, and support models.\nExperience integrating mission needs with software delivery, DevSecOps, data platforms, analytics, modeling and simulation, systems engineering, knowledge management, secure compute, or mission workflow platforms.\nExperience supporting technical front-door, intake, demand-discovery, onboarding, consulting, office hours, training, community engagement, or feedback-loop mechanisms for internal customers.\nExperience navigating organizational policies, information security requirements, access processes, platform constraints, and technical tradeoffs to help customers move from need identification to executable implementation.\nExperience developing customer-facing guidance, engagement playbooks, communicator materials, reusable architecture patterns, service catalogs, or other resources that make technical capabilities easier to discover, understand, and use.\nActive Secret Security Clearance.\nThis requisition requires the candidate to have a minimum of the following clearance(s):\nNoneThis requisition requires the hired candidate to have or obtain, within one year from the date of hire, the following clearance(s):\nSecretSalary compensation range and midpoint:\n$121,200 - $151,500 - $181,800 AnnualWork Location Type:\nOnsiteIt is unlawful in Massachusetts to require or administer a lie detector test as a condition of employment or continued employment.
