Lead Mission Solutions Architect

At MITRE, your passion fuels work that impacts our nation and improves lives. 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.

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.

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.

• Lead complex customer and mission engagements to discover needs, frame problems, define objectives, and translate ambiguous requirements into architecture strategies, executable solution concepts, and phased delivery paths.
• Develop and lead solution‑architecture discussions that map mission needs to platforms, access patterns, secure compute environments, data flows, tooling, policies, system‑design options, and dependencies across related disciplines.
• Direct technical trade studies and synthesize multiple sources of information to resolve complex problems, identify innovative applications, and recommend decisions with long‑term mission or service impact.
• Lead functional teams or complex projects with moderate resource requirements, risks, or complexity; establish technical objectives, coordinate multidisciplinary contributors, and guide execution without formal supervisory authority.
• Mature Mission Computing front‑door and demand‑discovery practices by identifying recurring patterns, portfolio‑level gaps, priorities, resource needs, and opportunities to improve services, reusable architectures, and capability roadmaps.
• Establish and share best practices, reusable architecture patterns, customer guidance, service‑catalog content, decision frameworks, and technical quality criteria; mentor staff and provide technical leadership and knowledge transfer within the job family.
• Serve as a trusted partner to mission teams and leadership; communicate complex concepts clearly, influence stakeholders around tradeoffs and recommended paths, and collaborate across platform teams,…
