The AWS Greengrass / Cloud Architect serves as the technical lead for the modernization and migration of edge gateway software, IoT ingestion workflows, and cloud-based services onto a secure, IL4-compliant AWS GovCloud architecture. This role provides architectural direction for replacing legacy EdgeIQ components, implementing AWS Greengrass-based gateway capabilities, and ensuring that cloud, ingestion, and device management services align with cybersecurity, STIG, and Blue Water environment constraints.
Job Responsibility
Architect and design AWS Greengrass-based replacement for the existing EdgeIQ gateway solution, including provisioning, deployment models, and secure data ingestion paths
Lead cloud architecture for modernization across AWS GovCloud environments, supporting IoT ingestion, backend APIs, firmware workflows, RBAC, and IL4-compliant services
Define gateway software migration approach from NETOS/legacy implementations to updated OS and Greengrass-compatible components while ensuring DoD IL4 compliance
Provide architecture oversight for integration of Bluetooth Scanner, Device Manager, MQTT ingestion modules, and gateway online-state handling developed by IoT engineers
Develop secure cloud-to-edge communication patterns, including OTA firmware update pathways in coordination with Firmware Integration Engineers
Establish architecture baselines, backlog inputs, and environment readiness
Collaborate with DevSecOps to enforce automated security controls, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and deployment hardening for GovCloud
Ensure all designs comply with cybersecurity requirements, STIGs, Blue Water ATO constraints, and validated cloud/security boundaries
Support technical documentation, design reviews, and controlled change management processes required for architectural governance
Requirements
Master's degree in a quantitative field such as engineering or mathematics (e.g. Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or Information Systems)
Minimum 10 years of experience in software engineering to include 5 years of experience focused on cloud architecture in AWS
Minimum 3 years of experience designing or deploying AWS Greengrass or comparable IoT edge runtimes
Minimum 3 years of experience with AWS IoT Core, MQTT pipelines, and device-to-cloud ingestion patterns
Minimum 1 year of experience architecting solutions in AWS GovCloud or FedRAMP-authorized environments
Must be US citizen with the ability to obtain a Secret Clearance
Nice to have
Direct experience supporting edge gateway migrations or embedded/IoT systems in compliance with DoD IL4 or similar cybersecurity requirements
Agile Developer certification or Certified Scrum Developer certification
Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK) and CI/CD pipelines consistent with DevSecOps requirements
Strong knowledge of STIGs, identity boundary constraints, RBAC models, and secure architecture controls as required by environments
Ability to lead technical direction across multi-disciplinary teams (Backend Engineers, IoT Engineers, Firmware Engineers, Cybersecurity Engineers) as indicated by staffing model
Experience engineering solutions for Radiation/Health Physics, industrial IoT, or high-security operational environments
Prior DoD program experience, preferable within Navy, involving ATO processes or working inside the Blue Water environment
Familiarity with gateway component integration (Bluetooth readout, device scanning, online/offline workflows) used in client IoT subsystems
Experience implementing secure OTA firmware distribution and signing/validation workflows for edge devices
Knowledge of conflict-resolution data models, exposure tracking workflows, or legacy system migration concepts derived from functional requirements
