• Develop and maintain the logical enterprise information architecture that enables seamless data exchange and system integration across the FAA’s information ecosystem.

• Define and enforce enterprise information/data management practices, including architecture frameworks, standards, and governance processes.

• Lead efforts in data modeling, including conceptual, logical, and physical designs for complex, large-scale systems.

• Design and maintain data dictionaries, information models, and metadata management approaches that ensure consistency and traceability across systems.

• Develop and implement enterprise information standards, data quality processes, and data sharing protocols to support FAA mission operations.

• Architect scalable, service-oriented, and cloud-based solutions to enable secure, resilient, and efficient system modernization.

• Ensure enterprise architecture aligns with federal IT policies, FAA standards, and best practices in information lifecycle management.

• Collaborate closely with program management, engineering, cybersecurity, and FAA stakeholders to ensure architectural consistency and performance across domains.

• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to development teams, ensuring adherence to architectural principles and integration goals.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related discipline (Master’s preferred).

• 16+ years of experience in enterprise architecture, information architecture, or systems engineering in complex, mission-critical environments.

• Demonstrated expertise in:

  • Enterprise and information architecture development and implementation.

  • Systems integration and cross-domain interoperability in large-scale environments.

  • Data modeling (transactional, dimensional, and object-oriented) and database design using modern modeling tools.

  • Enterprise information management and data governance frameworks.

  • Service-oriented architectures (SOA), data warehousing, ETL, and master data management (MDM) methodologies.

• Knowledge of modeling languages and techniques such as UML, OML, entity-relationship modeling, and data flow diagrams.

• Experience developing enterprise information standards, guidelines, and IT architecture plans.

• Strong understanding of federal IT modernization, information lifecycle management, and FAA system environments preferred.

• U.S. Citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance is required.
