Overview
DecisionPoint seeks an Enterprise Architect to provide senior architectural and systems-engineering leadership for the USMEPCOM ENLIST program. This position develops concepts of operations, conducts technical trade studies, decomposes mission needs into actionable system requirements, defines interface requirements, develops scalable architecture approaches, and provides technical inputs for rough-order-of-magnitude estimates.
The Enterprise Architect evaluates current and target-state architectures across software, data, cloud, infrastructure, integration, security, and operations. The architect ensures proposed solutions are secure, interoperable, extensible, scalable, resilient, supportable, and aligned with USMEPCOM mission priorities and applicable Federal and DoD standards.
This position works closely with Government mission owners, software and systems engineers, cybersecurity personnel, cloud and infrastructure teams, data teams, technical leads, Agile delivery teams, testers, configuration managers, operations personnel, and program leadership.
This position is remote, with Chicago-area candidates preferred. Occasional travel or on-site participation may be required for architecture workshops, planning sessions, design reviews, or Government briefings.
Note: By applying to this position, you acknowledge and consent to having your resume included in an active competitive government contract bid.

- Ensure architecture decisions account for current systems, approved baselines, target environments, planned modernization, and technology-insertion initiatives.
- Develop and update system and enterprise Concepts of Operations.
- Document mission objectives, operating scenarios, stakeholders, users, workflows, system boundaries, external dependencies, constraints, assumptions, and support concepts.
- Facilitate CONOPS workshops with Government stakeholders, mission owners, users, engineers, and operational personnel.
- Translate mission needs and operational concepts into architectural drivers and technical requirements.
- Conduct structured requirements analysis.
- Decompose high-level mission and business needs into functional, product, component, interface, security, data, performance, availability, and operational requirements.
- Develop and review derived requirements needed to support system design, development, integration, testing, deployment, sustainment, and recovery.
