Position: Solution Architect with Security Clearance
Purpose and Impact:
As a Solution Architect at Amentum, you will serve as a critical technical and customer-facing leader, crafting innovative, executable solutions for our customers' most complex challenges while actively contributing to the growth and success of Amentum's capture portfolio and technical capabilities. This role sits at the intersection of business development, technical solutioning, sales engineering, capture, and capability development. You will work closely with Capture, Business Development, Proposal, Pricing, and Program teams to understand customer mission needs, shape opportunities, develop differentiated technical solutions, and translate those solutions into compelling customer value propositions.

You will architect impactful technical, management, and transition solutions that address customer pain points, align with mission objectives, and differentiate Amentum in the competitive federal and Intelligence Community (IC) markets. You will also help build and mature Amentum's capabilities by identifying technology and capability gaps, supporting the development of prototypes and laboratory demonstrations, and helping transform emerging technologies into repeatable offerings.

First and foremost, our team develops comprehensive and differentiated solutions for winning proposals. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable whiteboarding an architecture with an engineer, presenting a solution to a customer, developing a technical ROM/BOM, supporting a proposal, and helping build a lab demonstration that brings the solution to life. Your expertise will drive early opportunity shaping, customer engagement, technical sales, proposal development, capability development, and solution delivery strategies that underpin key wins and long-term program success.
