Solution Architect

Overview

The Opportunity: Wireless networks are being upgraded with artificial intelligence. The role focuses on bridging legacy telecom infrastructure and AI-powered wireless technology, and involves advising executives and government leaders, shaping the future of wireless systems for defense, intelligence, and business sectors.

We are looking for a lead Solution Architect who can connect the dots between older telecom infrastructure and the latest AI-powered wireless technology. You will translate complex AI concepts into clear business benefits, design complete solutions that blend existing 5G infrastructure with next‑generation AI-powered systems, and ensure security, interoperability, and compliance with government and industry requirements.

As the lead Solution Architect, you will shape technical strategies and solution architecture for next-generation AI Radio Access Network (RAN) deployments across government and commercial sectors. You will guide customers through the transition toward AI-accelerated, cloud-native, and Open-RAN–compliant architectures, leveraging deep expertise in legacy telecom systems and hardware-centric RAN engineering.

You will serve as a trusted advisor to senior leadership and government decision-makers, acting as technical capture and closer for high-value opportunities, a system integrator ensuring interoperability across vendor ecosystems, and a strategic partner influencing product roadmaps and industry standards.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
