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:

Mission 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.

As 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.

AI Enablement is the group that turns platforms, APIs, agents, data workflows, secure compute, and developer experiences into a working foundation for a mission-centric MITRE.

Roles & Responsibilities :

MITRE's AI and Mission Enablement Department within the Mission Computing Division is seeking a Lead AI Solutions Architect to serve as a lead-level technical individual contributor within AI Enablement. The Lead AI Solutions Architect will provide technical direction for complex, cross-functional efforts that turn approved AI platforms, APIs, agents, data workflows, secure computing environments, and developer experiences into practical and repeatable mission solutions.

Roles and responsibilities include:

Lead discovery and solution-architecture engagements for complex, ambiguous, or cross-cutting mission needs; establish objectives, scope, success measures, decision criteria, and an effective path from experimentation through implementation and adoption.

Develop and lead solution strategies and executable architectures that integrate AI applications, agentic workflows, retrieval-enabled systems, approved data sources, secure computing environments, developer tooling, platform services, and mission workflows.

Direct technical evaluations and trade studies, synthesize multiple sources of information, identify risks and dependencies, and recommend innovative but practical approaches for…
