Amentum is seeking a Senior Solutions Architect to serve as an integral member of our Engineering and Technology (E&T) growth team. The Senior Solutions Architect will play a critical role in driving the development of innovative, competitive, and tailored solutions for Federal government proposals. This pivotal role is responsible for translating client needs, capture strategies, and compliance requirements into compelling technical and operational solutions that align with organizational goals and win strategies. The ideal candidate has a strong background in developing solutions for and writing Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)-based, Commercial Solution Opening (CSO), or Other Transaction Authority (OTA) proposal artifacts, with expertise in systems engineering, IT, and/or mission support, and excels at defining creative, compliant, and cost-effective approaches to meet and exceed customer requirements.

The Senior Solution Architect will serve as the senior technical architect across selected Federal pursuits. The individual will own the technical strategy and proposal response, including development of the technical solution, staffing approach, implementation considerations, Basis of Estimate inputs, and supporting technical artifacts. They will also act as technical volume manager or lead where required, interview SMEs, integrate partner capabilities, and ensure the final response is technically credible, compliant, customer focused, and aligned to the overall capture strategy. The candidate must be able to proactively engage with key Amentum stakeholders to include Business Development account managers, Capture Managers, Subject Matter Experts, and other Solutions Architects to develop technical solutions and proposal technical responses. This position requires outstanding writing skills as well as the ability to convey complex technical solutions and compliance information within the systems engineering domain space in a highly readable, customer-focused format.

  • Providing end-to-end thought leadership across proposal responses that include elements such as technical solution, staffing, implementation schedule, and BOE
  • Providing expert technical writing capabilities in the development of technical artifacts, white papers, statements of work, briefings and proposals.
  • Working with teaming partners to develop technical solutions, integration of teaming partners’ capabilities, and pricing strategies, etc.
  • Exploring new approaches/enabling technologies to drive solution innovation and improvements and ensure corporate solutions are relevant for current and emerging trends
  • Supporting the capture of business and technical requirements and clearly convey them to audiences of varying technical skill levels.

  • Ability to translate customer needs, capture strategy, compliance requirements, and technical inputs into a clear proposal response.
  • Strong understanding of the federal growth lifecycle including Business Development, capture, solutioning, proposal, and customer positioning.
  • Outstanding technical writing skills with the ability to explain complex engineering concepts in a highly readable and persuasive format.
