We bring 120 years of successful mission support to improve security, streamline logistics, and enhance readiness. Aligned around a shared purpose, our $3.9B company and 16,000 people work alongside our clients, here and abroad, to tackle their most complex challenges with integrity, respect, responsibility, and professionalism.\nV2X is looking for a Solutions Architect to lead the development of technical solutions, system architectures, and comprehensive technical proposal volumes to win competitive DoD pursuits. You’ll serve as the bridge between capture strategy and engineering execution, ensuring our proposals stand out technically and align perfectly with customer requirements. The role involves synthesizing various DOD requirements, BAAs, RFIs, and other requests to develop a solution architecture that aligns business capabilities with V2X planned technology development efforts. This role drives both technical and business solution development to shape and respond to future RFIs and RFPs, requiring leadership over multi-discipline engineering teams and integration with all aspects of the V2X business.\nResponsibilities\nAs our DoD-focused Solutions Architect, you’ll turn customer needs into novel combat-ready capabilities by laying out the system architecture and shaping requirements that drive mission success across land, air, and sea. You’ll shape technical strategies for RFIs/RFPs, and partner with customers and business leaders to build tomorrow’s defense solutions.\nWhat You’ll Own:\nDefine and articulate technically discriminating solution architectures and high-impact win themes for major DoD acquisitions.\nDevelop and maintain system models (SysML/MBSE) to validate architectures and support Trade-Space analysis in capture scenarios.\nTranslate disparate DoD inputs (BAAs, RFIs, requirements docs) into cohesive, end-to-end system architectures that align technology roadmaps with V2X’s development plans.\nLead technical solution development for competitive pursuits-craft architecture diagrams, interface specs, and technical standards, then champion them through proposal and design reviews.\nIdentify technical risks early, propose mitigation plans, and guide teams through tough trade-space decisions.\nAuthor and integrate the Technical Volume, ensuring seamless alignment with Cost, Management, and Schedule sections.\nPartner with Business Development and the Chief Engineer to align capture strategy, shape white papers, and influence pursuit decisions.\nEngage directly with DoD acquisition and requirements officers to refine roadmaps, mature tactical system needs, and ensure our architectures meet real-world mission demands.\nCollaborate with software, hardware, and integration engineers to drive system design, validate interoperability, and oversee verification & validation activities.\nEvaluate emerging technologies and recommend components, tools, and frameworks that accelerate development and boost performance.\nBuild and nurture relationships with customers, teammates, and suppliers-uncover new opportunities and drive continuous innovation.\nReady to architect the next generation of mission systems? Join V2X and lead solutions that power our warfighters. Apply now and make your mark on national defense.\nQualifications\nRequired Skills:\nMust be a US Citizen with ability to obtain a DoD Secret level clearance\n15+ years of systems, software, or hardware engineering experience, delivering complex solutions from concept through deployment\nProven track record partnering with DoD requirements officers and system owners to shape technical visions and refine mission needs\nDeep understanding and application of Model Based Systems Engineering methods, tools and languages\nFamiliarity with DoD data interfaces, including MIL-STD-1553, ARINC, CAN, and other vehicle/weapon-specific protocols\nAnalytical mindset and inventive problem-solving skills, tackling complex technical challenges with confidence\nExperience with DoD platforms, weapons, avionics, or tactical systems\nHands-on expertise with DoD platforms, weapons, avionics, or tactical systems across land, air, and sea domains\nExtensive capture management experience: interpreting RFPs/SOWs, developing BOEs, authoring technical volumes, and driving high-value proposal efforts\nStrong communication skills, adept at engaging stakeholders from technical teams to senior leadership and military customers\nDemonstrated leadership guiding cross-functional teams through capture, proposal, and early program execution phases\nAbility to lead integrated product teams (IPTs) across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and quality disciplines\nSelf-driven and accountable: consistently delivers high-quality work on schedule and autonomously solves complex challenges\nDesired Skills:\nExperience conducting competitive assessments, technical price-to-win analyses, and win-strategy development.\nDemonstrated leadership of multi-discipline teams through capture, proposal, and early program execution phases.\nExceptional written and verbal communicator, translating complex technical concepts into compelling narratives\nPrior work with DoD customers (US Army, US Navy, USMC, and/or USAF) on acquisition or sustainment programs\nExternal Certification(s) as a Solution Architect and/or Technical Capture Lead (ex.
