Solutions Architect & Technical Capture Lead

Job Description:

V2X is growing! V2X is looking for a Solutions Architect to lead the development of technical solutions, system architectures, and comprehensive technical proposal volumes to win competitive DoD pursuits. Youll serve as the bridge between capture strategy and engineering execution, ensuring our proposals stand out technically and align perfectly with customer requirements. The role involves synthesizing various requirements from DoD requirements officers, BAAs, RFIs, and other requests to develop a solution architecture that aligns business capabilities with V2X planned technology development efforts. This role drives both technical and business solution development to shape and respond to future RFIs and RFPs, requiring leadership over multi-discipline engineering teams and integration with all aspects of the V2X business.

As our DoD-focused Solutions Architect, youll turn customer needs into novel combat-ready capabilities by laying out the system architecture and shaping requirements that drive mission success across land, air, and sea. Youll shape technical strategies for RFIs/RFPs, and partner with customers and business leaders to build tomorrows defense solutions.

What Youll Own:

Define and articulate technically discriminating solution architectures and high-impact win themes for major DoD acquisitions.
Develop and maintain system models (SysML/MBSE) to validate architectures and support Trade-Space analysis in capture scenarios.
Translate disparate DoD inputs (BAAs, RFIs, requirements docs) into cohesive, end-to-end system architectures that align technology roadmaps with V2Xs development plans.
Lead technical solution development for competitive pursuits—craft architecture diagrams, interface specs, and technical standards, then champion them through proposal and design reviews.
Identify technical risks early, propose mitigation plans, and guide teams through tough trade-space decisions.
Author and integrate the Technical Volume, ensuring seamless alignment with Cost, Management, and Schedule sections.
Partner with Business Development and the Chief Engineer to align capture strategy, shape white papers, and influence pursuit decisions.
Engage directly with DoD acquisition and requirements officers to refine roadmaps, mature tactical system needs, and ensure our architectures meet real-world mission demands.
Collaborate with software, hardware, and integration engineers to drive system design, validate interoperability, and oversee verification & validation activities.
Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend components, tools, and frameworks that accelerate development and boost performance.
Build and nurture relationships with customers, teammates, and suppliers—uncover new opportunities and drive continuous innovation.
