More about this role
Defense Unicorns is seeking a Solutions Architect to work with autonomous systems manufacturers, Federal Systems Integrators, and commercial technology companies looking to deliver capabilities into the Federal defense market.
This role sits at the intersection of customer mission needs, complex hardware platforms, and modern cloud-native software. The Solutions Architect will facilitate technical and strategic conversations with customers and partners to understand their systems, identify integration opportunities, and define how cloud-native software, data transport technologies, and modern software deployment patterns can be incorporated into drones, satellites, weapons systems, and other mission-critical platforms.
The ideal candidate can move comfortably between executive-level conversations, system architecture discussions, and hands-on technical discovery. They should be able to translate mission and business requirements into practical architectures that account for constrained, disconnected, intermittent, and bandwidth-limited environments.
