The United States Space Force (USSF) at Vandenberg SFB, CA is searching for a Senior Enterprise Software Architect to support SLD 30 (NH-2210-03, GS-12/13 Equivalent).
Description:
Do you want to be a part of the ramp up to upward of 500 Launches per year and leading software integration activities at the best spaceport in the world? Then the role of Senior Enterprise Software Architect is the role you've been looking for. The Space Launch Delta 30 Digital Transformation Office is leading the development of a single spaceport data architecture and actively modernizing and integrating new automation into the fabric of the spaceport. As the Senior Enterprise Software Architect, you will be at the helm of identifying operational gaps across warfighting and business operations to engineer and deliver software solutions. You will be both resources with budget and personnel to accomplish these goals and on a day-to-day basis you will engage with SLD leadership, technical peers, and academic institutions to improve the state of software within VSFB.
On a week-to-week basis you're routinely work with the new 4th Space Launch Squadron, 630th Cyberspace Squadron, 30th Communication Directorate, the Space Force S6 and SSC S6 along with local senior leadership. Previous incumbents have been promoted rather quickly for increased responsibilities and have won field command awards. You will also be empowered to derive new capabilities or requirements that are not common to the Vandenberg SFB system integrators and will be afforded opportunities to survey and develop new operations center capabilities.
This is a huge opportunity, and we want a motivated and excited professional to be a part of the Spaceport's Digital Transformation!
