• Integrate emerging technologies such as AI/ML, IoT, and blockchain into the application architecture to create solutions that enhance supply chain visibility, efficiency, and resilience.

• Collaborate enterprise-wide to develop logical reference architectures, best practices, patterns, maturity models, and roadmaps for supply chain IT solutions.

• Guide technical architecture groups and communities of practice, socialize architectural strategies, and educate stakeholders on the effective use of application architecture efforts.

• Ensure solutions are compliant with RTX IT policies and industry standards while minimizing complexity and maximizing scalability.

• Provide mentorship and thought leadership to the architecture community and IT teams across the organization.
