- Apply and reinforce architecture principles, standards, and patterns that promote interoperability, security, and reuse across programs.

- Assess existing systems and proposed solutions for alignment with enterprise architecture, security requirements, performance needs, and operational constraints.

- Evaluate emerging technologies, tools, and industry trends and contribute to assessments and recommendations for their applicability.

- Translate complex technical architectures into clear diagrams, models, and documentation for technical and non-technical audiences.

- Collaborate with cybersecurity teams to ensure architectures support zero trust principles, RMF, and DoW/Army/DISA security policies.

- Participate in technical exchange meetings, design reviews, and architecture boards, providing expert input and constructive feedback.

- Identify architecture gaps, dependencies, and risks, and propose improvements or mitigations.

- Support improvements in architecture documentation, modeling practices, data quality, and configuration management.

- Informally mentor and support junior and mid-level team members, sharing best practices and lessons learned.
