What will be your role?

The Advanced Computing Engineering research group develops and demonstrates innovative IT solutions for both public and private sectors. We focus on areas such as big data processing, predictive analytics, large-scale simulations, and human interaction with complex data systems.

One of the key domains we work in is national security. For example, we support the Dutch Ministry of Defense in its digital transformation. The organization is adapting its operations and workflows with information at the core. Emerging technologies introduce complex and exciting challenges—such as designing IT and data architectures that align with operational processes, managing data across multiple classification levels, updating software on mission-critical systems, and enabling secure data exchange on platforms with limited connectivity.

As an enterprise architect, you will play a key role in addressing these challenges.

Additionally, you bring:

  • A master’s degree or PhD in Computer Science, Business Information Technology, Technical Business Administration, or a related field.
  • Experience with an enterprise architecture approach to translate business and information needs into the setup of information systems.
  • At least three years of relevant work experience where you have gained practical insights.
  • Having familiarity with the Defense organization, its operational processes and ICT systems (C4I), or a strong willingness to learn, is considered a plus.
  • A strong advantage is having experience in creating architectural views using methodologies like TOGAF or NAF and translating them into a clear customer perspective.
  • Fluency in both Dutch and English is essential.
