Raytheon is seeking a System Architect (SA) to work under the direction of the Senior System Architect on the Ocean Observatories Initiative Cyberinfrastructure (OOI/CI) program at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). The SA is a senior member of the CI Architecture team, working in partnership with the Development Team on the development, integration, deployment and verification of the system. This assignment will last is a project that will The SA works with Project Scientists and the System Engineering team to design, plan, and realize the required science and engineering objectives for the ocean observatorys capabilities as a highly complex distributed software system, and on its architecture and interoperations with other national escience infrastructure. In particular, the SA works on functional architecture documentation, system interface definition, and software design. The SA applies UMLbased methods and tools for system architecture documentation, software prototyping and software architecture verification. As a senior member of the CI architecture team and as an active member of multiple integrated subsystem product development teams, the SA provides technical leadership in working with ten OOI development partner organizations and more than twenty OOI CI developers at UCSD and the partner organizations to assemble the OOI as a high performance large scale geographically distributed ocean observatory system of systems. The SA needs to understand the complex technological needs and constraints brought forward by the development partners and evaluate them in the context of the OOI CI system architecture and the system requirements.
