Torch Technologies

Thank you for your interest in employment with Torch Technologies. We are a 100% employee-owned, Certified Great Place To Work and named Best Places to Work in Huntsville/Madison County, headquartered in Huntsville, AL. Our team provides superior research, development, and engineering services to the Federal Government and Department of War. As one of the nation’s top 100 defense companies, the services we provide directly support the men and women who serve our country. Our corporate mission sums up the pride our employee-owners take in the work we do: “Lighting the Pathway of Freedom”. And, as a Certified Evergreen ESOP, we have made the commitment to grow and sustain our company for the next 100 years! Come grow with us!

Torch Technologies is seeking a dedicated and experienced Systems Architecture Engineer to join a high-performing team supporting a DoD program analyzing and developing next-generation architecture for Rotorcraft and advanced Army aviation systems. This position offers an exceptional opportunity to support the Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) Program Management Office (PMO) and broader Army aviation enterprise at a vital inflection point. As this flagship Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) progresses through critical design, verification, and integration phases, you will serve as a key technical resource applying system engineering and architecture doctrines to system design, open architecture governance, and digital platform integration.

As a Systems Architecture Engineer, your duties will include the following, but are not limited to:

  • Utilize Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies and modeling tools (e.g., SysML, UPDM, LML) to analyze current software/system architectures and develop models and architectural guidelines for current and future system development.
  • Support integration activities of next-generation aviation platform systems, subsystems, components, and mission equipment into current and future DoD architectures within a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) and Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE™) compliant framework.
  • Partition large, complex weapon systems into an extensible hierarchy of subsystems, hardware/software elements, and functional allocations assigned across engineering teams.
  • Build, navigate, evaluate, and review MBSE "model of models" environments, actively identifying architectural and design concerns related to the platform's MOSA strategy.
  • Review supplier/OEM architectural changes and baseline modifications for impacts to system modularity, extensibility, and openness.
  • Analyze architecture frameworks, interface definitions (ICDs), and functional allocations to identify and mitigate complex system-of-systems integration concerns.
  • Participate in and contribute technical analysis for major milestone reviews, including System Functional Reviews (SFR), Preliminary Design Reviews (PDR), Critical Design Reviews (CDR), and Test Readiness Reviews (TRR).
  • Author and evaluate various types of project and technical documentation, including architectural design descriptions, open architecture management plans, interface control documents, and Information Support Plans (ISPs).
  • Develop and present briefing materials, translating complex architectural data and trade studies into clear updates, updates to leadership, and actionable technical recommendations.
  • Collaborate with Integrated Product Teams (IPTs), OEMs, and external stakeholders to ensure platform alignment to overarching system architecture doctrines and standards.
  • Support requirements flow-down, interface definition, functional decomposition, and integration verification across complex weapon systems.

Required Qualifications:

  • U.S. Citizenship required.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a DoW secret clearance.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Aerospace/Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent experience).
  • 5+ years of relevant experience in systems engineering and architecture of aviation systems, including DoD or commercial aviation platforms.
  • Demonstrated practical experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools and frameworks (e.g., SysML, UPDM, LML; Cameo Systems Modeler / Enterprise Architecture, MagicDraw).
  • Proven ability to envision, model, partition, and produce extensible system designs to meet functional and operational requirements.
  • Solid technical understanding of Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) doctrines, open architecture principles, and distributed computing/networking environment concepts.
  • Capability to author and review various types of project documentation, interface definitions (ICDs), and architectural guidelines.
  • Self-motivated yet able to work effectively across multidisciplinary teams, developers, and stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Domain knowledge of Rotorcraft or Aviation platform and systems modeling and simulation (including familiarity with 3-DOF and 6-DOF tool development and analysis).
  • In-depth experience and familiarity with the Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE™) Standards and Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA™), with experience advising on best practices for optimizing Open Systems Architecture at appropriate levels of the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).
  • Experience supporting a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) or next-generation military aviation acquisition program (e.g., FLRAA, FARA, F-35, B-21, or NGAD).
  • Familiarity with Multi-Core Processor (MCP) architectures, DO-297 Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA), real-time operating environments, or IEEE 802.1DP Time Sensitive Networking.
  • Working knowledge of modular system standards and specifications (MOSA, FACE, HOST, or commercial equivalents).
  • Experience with project management, Earned Value Management (EVM), or working within Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) and Agile engineering teams.
  • Familiarity with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), DoDI 5000.02 Adaptive Acquisition Framework, and ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 System Life Cycle Processes.
  • Familiarity with Army airworthiness, system safety processes (MIL-STD-882E), or materiel release processes.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
