About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Systems Architect to lead the shaping, qualification, and integration of complex solutions and thinking. As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for ensuring we understand clients' requirements to design and develop pragmatic end-to-end approaches aligned to their mission objectives.

Key Responsibilities

  • Exceptional problem-solving capabilities in collaborative environments with a focus on simplification.
  • High-level written and oral communication skills and excellent organisational skills.
  • Prior experience and knowledge in the transformation of large-scale systems-of-systems mission environments is essential.
  • Chartered or Executive Engineer status with Engineers Australia.
  • RAN engineering charge qualification or similar from the RAAF (Squadron Leader AERO or ELECTR minimum) or ARA (Major in Signals or RAEME minimum or ATSOC graduate).
  • A thorough understanding and working knowledge of systems of systems architectures, model based systems engineering, ASDEFCON, data architectures and vendor ecosystems and their strengths, weaknesses and specific points of leverage.
  • The ability to create and maintain architectural documentation (i.e. master plans, roadmaps, architectures, business cases) describing logical pathways and approaches now and into the future for sponsored areas. These should be adaptable and abstracted where appropriate to meet disparate audience interests.
  • Experience with relevant legacy, governance, security, mission, data, funding and/or operational constraints etc.
  • Experience effecting global knowledge transfer in the context of local operations, mission and intelligence contexts.
  • Extensive knowledge of current and trending mission/data/information technologies and approaches.

About You

You will have exceptional stakeholder skills and solid experience in systems of systems integration within large and complex organisations. The core of this role is to lead the shaping, qualification and integration of complex solutions and thinking. It is essential you ensure we understand clients' requirements to design and develop pragmatic end-to-end approaches aligned to their mission objectives.

You will be considered a senior thought leader with extensive knowledge of systems of systems integration, digital engineering, mission operations, processes, information management and data architectures. You are familiar working with operations, mission and intelligence systems, equipment interfaces, user interfaces and data sets and their nuances when it comes to solution development. You will at times lead and at others be part of a team that works with the clients to support and lead their strategic technology direction and drive business value.

We're looking for an individual who is:

  • A Swiss Army knife who can solve a myriad of problems in a variety of domains rather than just one.
  • A universal blood donor who can rapidly assimilate in any collaborative environment with customers, vendors, academics, global colleagues and/or local colleagues.
  • Able to operate with a high ambiguity tolerance as the challenges will never be perfectly presented nor will the solutions be simply solved.
  • Passionate about the mission and the people who combine to deliver the outcomes.

What You'll Love

This role does require the successful applicant to be an Australian Citizen and hold a current NV1 or NV2 security clearance. Applicants may also need to meet International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) requirements. This can place limitations on persons who hold dual nationality, permanent residency or are former nationals of certain proscribed countries.

At Leidos, you'll enjoy 12 weeks paid parental leave as a primary carer, flexible work practices including Rostered Days Off, discounted health insurance, novated leasing and more. We have a strong track record of internal promotion and career transitions.
