• The exploitation of cyberspace as a domain of operations presents an increasingly growing challenge for the Alliance. Gaining the ability to plan, assess and conduct military operations in cyberspace requires therefore the development of new concepts and capabilities, notably in the area of cyberspace resilience, mission assurance, situational awareness, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) or C3 (Consultation, Command & Control), to name a few.
• In support of the various activities undertaken by the ACT Cyberspace Branch, including capability development for critical Cyberspace and Cyber Security capabilities, architectural artefacts are required for supporting documentation seeking to procure and implement capabilities. These architectural artefacts require detailed architecture design, block diagrams, workflow diagrams and other Systems Engineering artefacts, with the guidance of the relevant Technical Director (TD) and/or Programme Director (PD).

• Bachelor’s degree in systems engineering, computer science, network security, cyber-security or other related field. The education requirement can be substituted with 3 years of experience in relevant field
• 4+ years of experience as lead/key contributor in the development of capability or technical level architecture products for complex systems environments
• Certified in TOGAF (or NAF) with 1 year of proven experience of applying the Framework in projects. The certification requirement can be substituted with 3 years of experience in Framework application
• Certified as one of the following: Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), GIAC Security Expert or ISACA Certified Information Security Manager (CISM)
• Experience working for NATO or similar military structure (i.e. International Organization or national MoD)
  

• Provide support to Principal Architect to conduct a critical analysis and review of existing and under-development cyberspace architectural products in tandem with related technical context such as requirements, system descriptions, concepts, etc. in order to gain a big picture perspective of Cyberspace capabilities across multiple projects
• Provide support to Principal Architect to gather knowledge and inputs from ACT TD/PD/SME and NCIA SMEs to understand NATO Cyberspace environment and analyse upcoming cyberspace requirements to develop new architectural diagrams or augment existing ones
• Develop block diagrams, work flow diagrams and other systems engineering artefacts in order to aid in understanding of capability and varying levels, from National experts to technical level SMEs
• Develop views, as identified, using the NATO Architecture Framework (NAF) (with the necessary design architectural drawings, diagrams, etc.), in accordance with the NAFv4 methodology
• Participate in technical discussions, as needed, notably with ACT PD/SME, in order to review, refine and create additional context for reflection in architectural diagrams
• Engage with, and coordinate, relevant Communities of Interest (NATO organizations, nations, industry, and academia) for input to architectural development process
• Support the Branch Head/Technical Director/Programme Director/Principal Architect with capability architecture validation and review; provide support with inputs to other branch architectural and capability development activities including, but not limited to, concept to capability translation, capability analysis and systems engineering, etc.
• Attend, as required, meetings and conferences typically within NATO’s boundaries for up to 30 days per year, as required
