IT Enterprise Architect

We are laying the foundation for a better future for our customers, employees, and communities by revitalizing Americas manufacturing base and creating meaningful jobs across the country, including in historically deindustrialized regions.
We operate an advanced, end-to-end manufacturing platform that partners with industrial companies and innovators to take products from first concept to full-scale production in critical verticals including aerospace and defense, electrification, medical, energy and environment, and robotics and automation.
Its guided by The Re:Build Way, 16 principles that shape how we collaborate with each other, partner with our customers and vendors, and contribute to the communities where we operate. (The Enterprise Architect is a senior technology leader responsible for defining, governing, and realizing the organization’s enterprise architecture across Business, Data, Application, and Technology/Platform domains. The role brings to bear artificial intelligence (AI) to improve architectural analysis, accelerate decision‑making, and improve execution efficiency—while ensuring responsible and compliant AI adoption.
Data Architecture
Establish enterprise data principles, domain models, integration patterns, governance frameworks, and data quality standards.
Architect data platforms supporting analytics, AI/machine learning, and real‑time decisioning (e.g., Define data ownership, stewardship, lineage, privacy, and security practices with data leaders and compliance teams.
Ensure data designs enable responsible AI (model governance, bias monitoring, explainability, and auditability).

Application Architecture
Define target‑state application architecture emphasizing modularity/replaceability, interoperability, scalability, and lifecycle sustainability.
Promote API‑first, AI-native, cloud‑native, event‑driven, and reusable component patterns; Create blueprints for platforms/solutions, infrastructure, integration layers, and cloud environments (hybrid/multi‑cloud as applicable).
Lead platform and vendor evaluations aligned to principles, requirements, total cost of ownership (TCO), and business value.

Establish and maintain enterprise architecture policies, standards, reference architectures, patterns, models, roadmaps, and guardrails.
Provide structured guidance on build‑vs‑buy decisions, risk trade‑offs, and technical debt management.

Embed zero‑trust, security‑by‑design, and regulatory requirements (privacy, audit, industry standards) into architecture patterns.
Conduct threat modeling and resilience planning; define strategies for continuity, disaster recovery, reliability, and supply‑chain security.
Build roadmaps using current and target models driven from impact and gap analysis activities.
Translate roadmaps into actionable implementation plans, epics, and achievements with clear acceptance criteria and measurable business value.
Rationalize the application portfolio; Artificial Intelligence
Use AI tools to model dependencies, identify risks, estimate impact, and optimize designs; apply AI for architectural telemetry and pattern detection.
Employ generative AI to accelerate documentation, standards creation, scenario modeling, solution design assistance, and governance workflows.
Define architectural patterns and guardrails for responsible enterprise AI, including data requirements, MLOps, model lifecycle, and compliance.

Validate post‑implementation outcomes to confirm design intent, security/compliance, and time‑to‑value realization.
Serve as a strategic advisor to senior leadership on modernization, platform strategy, and enterprise capability evolution.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field; 10+ years of progressively responsible experience in enterprise, solution, data, application, or platform architecture.
~ Pragmatic application of EA frameworks (e.g., Solid understanding of business systems (ERP, MES, CAD, PLM, QMS, etc.), cloud platforms, distributed systems, integration frameworks, and modern application design.
~ Strong understanding of AI/ML, data architectures, and modern security frameworks.
~ Consistent track record to lead and realize large‑scale transformation or modernization initiatives with measurable outcomes.
~ Experience with multi‑cloud or hybrid architectures.
~ Exposure to product-centric operating models, focused build approaches, and platform engineering.
~ This is a remote role with 20% expected travel.
