Job Number: R0253335 Live, Virtual, and Constructive Solutions Architect
The Opportunity:At a certain point, experience-based system design can start to look like clairvoyance. When you've developed so many systems that you can not only orchestrate the best solution for any technology-based challenge, but you can also anticipate and preempt future issues, you're a solutions architect. You've evolved your skills into strategy through a long path of Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) training environment accomplishments and the curiosity to understand how all the pieces of an LVC ecosystem fit together. Are you ready to use your combination of knowledge, skill, and experience to take on the toughest challenges in the LVC training industry?
As an LVC Solutions Architect you will support distributed training, experimentation, mission rehearsal, and test events for Marine Corps and Navy clients. Lead the technical design and integration of Department of Defense networks, simulators, range instrumentation, training applications, and Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems. Develop practical LVC strategies aligned to mission and business needs, translate operational requirements into engineered solutions, and guide multidisciplinary teams through integration, testing, fielding, cybersecurity authorization, and sustainment. Advise client leaders on modernization opportunities that connect legacy and emerging training capabilities while improving interoperability, readiness, and cost effectiveness.
Provide technical leadership across geographically distributed sites and coordinate with uniformed personnel, Government civilians, industry partners, and contractor teams. Support exercise and event planning from individual through joint-level training, troubleshoot complex system-of-systems issues, and communicate technical recommendations to senior stakeholders. Contribute to solution development, technical reviews, risk management, and knowledge transfer, including instruction or mentoring in systems engineering and LVC fundamentals.
