• The position also supports enterprise and solution architecture activities by producing and maintaining architecture and design artifacts that describe system components, data and integration flows, and operational impacts; developing and updating integration specifications and Interface Control Documents (ICDs); and ensuring architecture decisions, baselines, and changes are documented, traceable, and aligned to delivery cadence and release planning.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree and 4 years of relevant experience (or 4 additional years of relevant experience in lieu of the degree)
• Demonstrated business process engineering experience, including current-state assessment, future-state design, and process improvement/reengineering
• Experience developing process models/diagrams and maintaining process documentation in support of system modernization and sustainment
• Experience translating business processes and stakeholder needs into actionable requirements and solution design inputs for technical teams
• Experience producing architecture and design documentation that supports implementation, integration, and operational sustainment
• Strong stakeholder facilitation and communication skills, including leading workshops and presenting process/architecture outcomes clearly
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance at the Tier 2 (Moderate Risk) level (active preferred)

Preferred
