Senior Solutions Architect

Everforth ECS is seeking a Senior Solutions Architect to work in our Fairfax, VA office.

Everforth ECS is looking for a senior-level Solutions Architect to support a variety of highly complex technical initiatives, including Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, ISR, Big Data/Cloud, secure infrastructure, and enterprise systems integration. This role serves as a recognized technical expert within the Business Unit - Intel team, providing technical leadership across multiple programs, customers, and mission environments.

This is not a project management role; however, it requires significant technical leadership, broad architectural expertise, and the ability to solve unusually complex technical problems across multiple disciplines. The Solutions Architect will work closely with program leadership, government stakeholders, technical teams, and project managers to define technical strategies, develop architectures and roadmaps, and rapidly deliver secure, mission-critical solutions. The ideal candidate fosters a culture of customer service, innovation, collaboration, and technical excellence while helping shape emerging technical capabilities and new business opportunities.
