What this job asks for AI summary
This role is responsible for defining and sustaining HPC system architectures within Lockheed Martin's Classified IT organization, including setting the strategic direction for HPC service offerings, developing technology roadmaps, and enforcing architecture standards. The architect works across IT and engineering teams to ensure consistent deployment of large, classified multi-tenant HPC environments. It suits an experienced HPC professional comfortable operating in a cleared, enterprise-scale setting.

“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.
We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (9)
No specific work location or metro area is stated in the posting beyond 'a designated Lockheed Martin facility'; CBSA could not be determined.
No minimum years of overall experience are explicitly stated; the posting uses 'Experienced Professional' as a level label but gives no numeric floor.
The SOC classification is a judgement call: HPC Systems Architect sits between Computer Systems Analysts (15-1211) and the catch-all Computer Occupations, All Other (15-1299). The role is more architectural/strategic than typical systems analysis, so 15-1299 was chosen as primary with 15-1211 as the runner-up.
A Top Secret clearance is a hard gate ('must be a US Citizen for consideration' and 'requires a government security clearance'); TS/SCI is not explicitly mentioned, so TopSecret (not TopSecretSci) was applied.
Containerization (Podman/Docker/Kubernetes) and CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, ArgoCD, FluxCD) appear under Desired Skills and are marked preferred accordingly.
Architecture framework knowledge (DoDAF, TOGAF) and classified security control mapping (NISPOM, DAAPM, JSIG, RMF) are listed under Desired Skills and are marked preferred.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): HPC systems design, solutions architecture, classified systems cybersecurity controls.
Requires a Top Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
