What this job asks for AI summary
A senior technical SME role supporting the White House Communications Agency's (WHCA) network modernization and secure communications mission. The position involves hands-on architecture, engineering, and integration work across classified environments — including CSfC mobile solutions, Presidential transport communications (limousines, aircraft, helicopters), and a next-generation global Head of State communications network — while also supporting cyber defense, identity management, and legacy-to-modern network cutover efforts.

We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (7)
The title is 'Solutions Architect' but the role is framed as a Technical SME — the primary day-to-day work spans secure network engineering, CSfC architecture, and communications integration rather than pure network architecture design, making 15-1299 a reasonable fit; 15-1241 (Computer Network Architects) is a strong runner-up.
Yankee White eligibility is listed as 'preferred per mission guidance' in the required section — it is treated here as preferred rather than a hard gate, since the posting explicitly labels it preferred and notes willingness to obtain is acceptable.
No specific total years of experience are stated; the posting uses qualitative language ('extensive background') rather than a numeric floor.
The salary range ($131,800–$290,000/year) is unusually wide, which CACI attributes to factors including geographic location and contract wage rates.
Up to 25% local travel is required; the role is on-site supporting WHCA (Washington, DC area).
Ignored 5 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): secure network engineering, NSA CSfC capability packages, network architecture, cyber defense / defensive tooling, DoD / WHCA mission environments.
Requires a TS/SCI 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.
