CIS Reference Architect (Communications, SATCOM, ArchiMate) for NATO with security clearance

The standards you write decide whether allied radios, satellites and networks can talk to each other.

A multinational defence headquarters in Brussels is looking for a communications standards engineer to lead the modelling of its communications reference architecture and help develop the technical standards behind it.

What you would be doing

• Leading the ArchiMate modelling of communications reference architectures
• Drafting and maintaining technical standards for communications and networking
• Helping integrate HF and other beyond line of sight systems with IP-based networks
• Defining measurable conformance criteria, with a focus on satellite communications
• Supporting interoperability across radio, satellite and cellular domains
• Supporting the committees and working groups that govern this work

What you would bring

• A university degree in a relevant CIS field, or an equivalent technical qualification
• A qualification in ArchiMate and TOGAF, or a comparable framework
• At least 5 years working with military CIS technical specifications in operational settings
• Strong project management, communication and analytical skills
• The ability to turn complex specifications into clear, actionable guidance
• A plus: experience with military standardisation documents, ITIL, PRINCE2 or PMP

Why this one is worth a look

Your work becomes the common language that allied communications systems speak.
