Designs systems to consider functional requirements, scalability, and security. Being a Systems Architect defines system solutions based on user needs, cost, and required integration with existing applications, systems, or platforms. Researches, identifies, selects, and tests technology products required for solution delivery. Additionally, Systems Architect establishes, implements, and documents technology integrations or migration strategies. Requires a bachelor's degree. Typically reports to a manager. The Systems Architect works autonomously. Goals are generally communicated in "solution" or project goal terms. May provide a leadership role for the work group through knowledge in the area of specialization. Works on advanced, complex technical projects or business issues requiring state of the art technical or industry knowledge. To be a Systems Architect typically requires 10+ years of related experience. (Copyright 2024 Salary.com)
BAE Systems is seeking an experienced Computer Systems Architect to strategically craft an organizational, procedural, and technological total data integration solution for the Sentinel system. The position requires knowledge of data architecture and design, as well as experience with engineering design and manufacturing processes. Successful candidates will possess experience in at least two disciplines: one software/IT related, and one design/engineering related. Applicants must be willing to propose and prototype well thought out solutions to highly complex and integrated problems.
Candidates are expected to develop skills to do Digital Engineering/Digital Threading of requirements, design, manufacturing, and test data for the Sentinel system. Generally speaking, the goal is to incorporate unstructured data from traditional engineering artifacts such as PDFs, Word, Excel documents, and CAD drawings, with modern structured data from SQL databases, commercial applications, and real-time data feeds. The current technical stack includes Siemens TeamCenter for unstructured data, a data integration backbone for interfacing with structured data and application APIs, and a graph database to create a data mesh. Together, these technologies make up a total data fabric. Successful candidates must be able to work with data stewards and subject matter experts to craft a community and standards-based approach to data governance, data engineering, and data integration. Applicants must also be able to conceptualize and communicate a metadata ontology for use in the data mesh.
