Raytheon Digital Technology (DT) is seeking an Enterprise Application Architect to contribute to Raytheon’s latest factory modernization plans. In this role, you will architect applications for new factory orchestration systems, working closely with agile cross‑discipline teams to prototype new platforms and systems in the cloud and on‑premise, and deliver trusted architectures that strengthen factory uptime and accelerate manufacturing flow.

• Architect and coordinate applications for new factory orchestration systems, defining end‑to‑end integration patterns across SAP ERP & planning, MES/i4.0, AI and data platforms, and robotics using event‑driven and API‑centric designs that strengthen real‑time responsiveness and rapid issue recovery.
• Shape and create technical roadmaps that optimize and modernize the application portfolio used in factories through process and system transformation, ensuring platforms support high availability, stable operations and predictable flow.
• Define, document, and communicate solution architectures that integrate applications, factory systems, and cloud platforms; produce formal architecture artifacts using TOGAF ADM and modeling tools.
• Prototype and pilot new platforms and systems with innovation teams and partners; conduct technology assessments and proofs‑of‑concept to validate feasibility and demonstrate value.
• Provide technical leadership to Agile teams to ensure the intended architecture is realized and best practices and standards are followed; mentor developers toward solution‑architect roles with a focus on building robust, supportable and observable systems.
• Partner across infrastructure, networking, and cloud teams to ensure scalability, reliability, security, and observability for mission‑critical factory systems.
• Use and develop reusable patterns, building blocks, and reference implementations to standardize solutions and accelerate delivery; contribute hands‑on code where appropriate.
• Stay abreast of emerging technologies and Industry 4.0 trends and recommend innovations that drive continuous improvement, maximize uptime and maintains competitive advantage.
