Digital Engineering Environment; DEE Cloud Architect SME

Modern Technology Solutions, Inc. (MTSI) is seeking a Digital Engineering Environment (DEE) Cloud Architect SME. In this pivotal role, you will lead the rapid standup and ongoing support of the SSC Program Management Office, ensuring advanced cloud-based solutions enable seamless operations, rapid acquisitions, and secure workflows required for mission-critical systems. The DEE Cloud Architect SME will design, implement, and optimize scalable, resilient, and compliant cloud infrastructures to support the program's foundational functions, collaborative engineering processes, and operational objectives.

This position supports systems engineering and program-level functions across mission-critical space vehicles, ground systems, and fire control systems.

• Cloud Solution Design for SSC PMO Support
  • Architect and deploy secure and scalable cloud-based solutions tailored for rapidly standing up and supporting the SSC Program Management Office for Golden Dome.
  • Implement cloud infrastructure optimized for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) processes including collaboration, data access, change management, and engineering workflows using Microsoft PLx tools.
  • Scalability Design:
    Ensure cloud solutions accommodate growing workloads, increasing user demands, and future system integrations to support rapid acquisitions and DEE expansion.
  • System Integration:
    Seamlessly integrate engineering tools (e.g., MBSE platforms, PLM software, CAD, and simulation tools) with the cloud environment to enhance PMO operations.

• Cybersecurity Frameworks: Implement security controls that adhere to DoD RMF, CMMC, and relevant guidelines such as NIST SP 800-53 and FedRAMP for handling classified or sensitive data.
• Access and Identity Management: Design secure Identity Access Management (IAM) frameworks to protect sensitive SSC PMO data and ensure operational compliance across all cloud workflows.
• STIG Compliance: Apply Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) requirements to all hosted cloud systems, ensuring hardened infrastructure and mission security readiness.

• Containerization: Enable rapid deployment of scalable and microservices-based solutions using container technologies.
• Infrastructure Automation: Use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, Ansible, and AWS Cloud Formation to automate provisioning, monitoring, and patch management for cloud resources that support SSC PMO objectives.
• High Availability: Architect fault-tolerant and redundant systems optimized for uninterrupted support to program management office workflows and acquisitions.

• Data and Collaboration Solutions: Design and deploy databases and storage systems for managing lifecycle engineering data and deliverables associated with rapid acquisition operations.
• Collaboration Frameworks: Support simultaneous access to PMO tools and workflows by multidisciplinary teams, ensuring efficient and secure communication of program-critical information.
• Disaster Recovery Protocols: Build robust disaster recovery solutions to safeguard Golden Dome SBI PMO operations and ensure resilience across all engineering and acquisition activities.

• Optimize cloud-based solutions to meet compute-intensive demands of engineering workflows and ensure efficiency in PMO acquisition deliverables.
• Cost Optimization: Develop strategies to manage program budgets without sacrificing performance or functionality, ensuring cloud operations remain scalable and cost-effective.

• Emerging Capabilities: Design solutions that enable the SSC PMO to adopt emerging technologies, tools, and engineering frameworks in alignment with overall program goals.
• AI/ML Integration: Architect cloud-enabled artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions to support predictive analytics and decision-making for acquisitions and program operations.

• Stakeholder Engagement: Partner with program managers, engineers, cybersecurity experts, and cross-functional teams to…
