Designs cloud-native architectures for autonomous systems like drones and satellites, bridging mission needs with modern software deployment in constrained environments.
Defense Unicorns is seeking a Solutions Architect to work with autonomous systems manufacturers, Federal Systems Integrators, and commercial technology companies looking to deliver capabilities into the Federal defense market.
This role sits at the intersection of customer mission needs, complex hardware platforms, and modern cloud-native software. The Solutions Architect will facilitate technical and strategic conversations with customers and partners to understand their systems, identify integration opportunities, and define how cloud-native software, data transport technologies, and modern software deployment patterns can be incorporated into drones, satellites, weapons systems, and other mission-critical platforms.
The ideal candidate can move comfortably between executive-level conversations, system architecture discussions, and hands-on technical discovery. They should be able to translate mission and business requirements into practical architectures that account for constrained, disconnected, intermittent, and bandwidth-limited environments.
A successful Solutions Architect in this role will be able to walk into a conversation with a drone manufacturer, satellite company, weapons-system developer, systems integrator, or commercial software company and quickly understand how their system operates, where software and data move through the architecture, and where modern cloud-native approaches can create meaningful operational value.
They will help customers move from broad questions such as “How do we bring cloud-native software onto this platform?” to a concrete architecture for how applications are packaged, transported, deployed, updated, secured, and operated across the system.
This role may be a strong fit for someone who has previously worked as a Solutions Architect, Systems Architect, Platform Engineer, Cloud Architect, Field Engineer, Sales Engineer, or Technical Product Leader supporting defense, aerospace, autonomous systems, or highly distributed computing environments.
Role primarily based out of Los Angeles and San Francisco Areas.
