Solutions Architect

About the role

Sealing Technologies, a Parsons company, is seeking a Senior Solution Architect with deep expertise in server hardware and systems engineering to support the design, integration, and deployment of advanced small form factor, high-mobility server platforms for edge computing environments.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Architect and design end-to-end edge compute solutions centered on small form factor, high-mobility server systems
• Provide deep technical expertise on server hardware, including processor architectures (x86/ARM), memory subsystems, storage (NVMe, SSD, RAID), and high-speed networking (10/25/40/100GbE)
• Advise customers on system sizing, performance tuning, and workload optimization for edge deployments
• Lead technical discovery sessions and translate requirements into detailed system architectures and BOMs
• Support integration of virtualization, containerization, and orchestration platforms (e.g., VMware, KVM, Kubernetes) on constrained edge hardware
• Design for resiliency in harsh or disconnected environments (limited power, thermal constraints, intermittent connectivity)
• Conduct and support proof-of-concept (PoC) builds, benchmarking, and performance validation
• Collaborate with hardware engineering teams on system design, including I/O, GPU/accelerator integration, and ruggedization considerations
• Ensure solutions meet security and compliance requirements, including secure boot, encryption, and system hardening
• Deliver technical presentations, whitepapers, and solution documentation
• Travel extensively to customer sites for deployment, troubleshooting, and technical engagement

Qualifications

• US Citizen
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Security Clearance
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent hands-on experience)
• 7+ years of experience in server architecture, systems engineering, or solution architecture roles
• Deep understanding of server hardware design and performance characteristics, including: CPU architectures (Intel/AMD/ARM), cores, threading, and NUMA, Memory architectures (DDR4/DDR5, ECC, bandwidth considerations), Storage systems (NVMe, SATA, RAID configurations, storage tiering), PCIe lanes, expansion, and accelerator integration (GPU, FPGA, SmartNICs)
• Experience with Linux-based systems administration and performance tuning
• Strong understanding of networking concepts and hardware (NICs, RDMA, switching, edge networking)
• Experience with virtualization and container platforms (VMware, KVM, Docker, Kubernetes)
• Ability to troubleshoot complex hardware/software integration issues
• Strong customer-facing and communication skills
• Ability to work independently in field environments and manage multiple priorities
• Willingness and ability to travel up to 75%
