Job Description:

Raytheon Intelligence & Space is driving a transformation in its Business Development and Engineering organizations with the goal to increase intimacy throughout the customer lifecycle including Agile DevOps and rapid prototyping. The Engineering organization believes Solutions Architects will play a pivotal role in this transformation based on 3 essential market factors. First, Solutions Architects are a critical factor in enabling government contractors to synchronize the pace of technology development across a broad spectrum of customers, some who are comfortable with a longer, more deliberate procurement pace while others are anxious to rapidly advance procurement processes and outcomes. Second, we are looking to adapt a quicker pace of technology development to meet or exceed the increased pace that the government is adopting based on the influx of commercial organizations and commercial technology development models. Finally, the changing demographics of the emerging engineering workforce dictates that government contractors need to evaluate models and strategies that account for the greater variability and mobility of Solutions Architects and other key members of the Engineering team.
