MEANINGFUL WORK AND PERSONAL IMPACT

The Enterprise Architect supports the J6's vision of the current and future-state architecture of IT systems, networks, and processes under J6 ownership. Operating within the J65 Plans and Engineering Division, this role bridges the gap between mission-driven process design and technical implementation, translating organizational process frameworks into coherent, defensible architecture and ensuring that every system, service, and change fits within an intentional enterprise-wide design. You will own the architectural backbone of one of the most complex and operationally critical IT environments in the European theater. SAG-U J6 manages multiple classified and above-baseline networks.

• Own and maintain the SAG-U J6 enterprise architecture baseline across all managed domains, producing and sustaining DoDAF-compliant architecture views including OV-1, OV-5, SV-1, SV-2, and SV-6
• Develop and maintain the J6 technology roadmap and target architecture, identifying capability gaps, obsolescence risks, and investment priorities aligned to SAG-U mission evolution and USAREUR-AF strategic objectives
• Govern architecture compliance across the project portfolio and change management process: all projects entering J65 and changes entering the Change Advisory Board (CAB) will be evaluated against the target architecture for alignment, risk, and technical debt impact
• Serve as the primary architecture advisor to J6 leadership, providing technically grounded recommendations on system integration, enclave expansion, cross-domain solutions, and coalition connectivity
• Own the system-of-systems view for J6-managed infrastructure - defining system boundaries, interfaces, dependencies, and data flows across physical and virtual layers - and ensuring all documentation is accurate, current, and accessible to engineering and operations teams
• Partner with J62 Cybersecurity to deliver the architecture artifacts required to support and accelerate RMF/ATO processes for all J6-owned systems, including system security plans, boundary diagrams, and control inheritance documentation
• Drive technical standardization and pattern adoption across J6 engineering efforts, reducing rework, simplifying sustainment, and shortening accreditation timelines through reusable architecture components
• Provide architectural review of engineering deliverables and project transition packages to ensure new capabilities integrate cleanly into the operational baseline before operational handoff
• Coordinate with USAREUR-AF G6, EUCOM ECJ6, 2d Theater Signal Brigade, DISA, and coalition partners on enterprise-level architecture alignment, transport planning, and cross-enclave integration
• Establish and maintain an architecture governance framework within J65, including an architecture review process and a living standards catalog
• May require coverage during weekends and holidays
