Canberra, ACT, Australia Kinexus Full time

Solution Architect - Mission Capability - RFQ-ASD SOW 1 - Original

Due to the nature of clients we work with here at Kinexus and the projects these roles will be based on, an Australian Government Top Secret Positive Vetting (TSPV) clearance is essential.

These opportunities do not have the ability to obtain sponsorship for a security clearance (including applicants who currently hold a security clearance seeking to upgrade).

ABOUT THIS ROLE

Operational Engineering Branch within the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), are responsible for delivering cutting edge capabilities to support ASD's Signals Intelligence, Cyber and Enterprise requirements.

These capabilities consist of a combination of:

  • Delivery of new capability under the REDSPICE program;
  • Delivery of ASD's major capability programs and;
  • Enhancing and modernising existing capabilities.

To facilitate this ASD has a requirement for a Solution Architect.

ASD seeks a Solution Architect that has a proven history of working in complex projects and contributing to the organisational capability within the project.

The Solution Architect is responsible for the development of the technology solutions and mapping the business requirements to systems/technical requirements to ensure they are in line with ASD technical standards.

The Solution Architect will be responsible for working with ASD specialist technologists and software delivery teams as required to guide design decisions including strategic direction, and develop as built or other required artefacts to drive concept development.

The successful candidate will be required to work cohesively and communicate effectively with other project team staff and stakeholder groups

The Specified Person will be expected to demonstrate attributes of SFIA Level of Responsibility 5.

Current Top-Secret Positive Vetting (TSPV) security clearance is strongly preferred, however candidates who have held a TSPV in the previous 12-month period (which has since been downgraded) may be considered.

  • Produce detailed component specifications and translate these into detailed designs for implementation.
  • Validation and verification of existing requirements, capturing any new requirements and managing these requirements during the capability delivery phase.
  • Assess risk, and measure compliance with policies and standards. Understand the implications of new technologies.
  • Ensure the project deliverables are in alignment to the customer and organisation's strategic direction and other related projects.
  • Work cohesively and flexibly with the broader program teams, and manage the expectations of key business partners and stakeholders.

  • Qualifications and experience with frameworks and methodologies for designing, planning, implementing, and governing enterprise and system information technology architectures.
