Leidos seeks a senior-level Voice/VoIP Architect to lead technical oversight and strategic direction for NASA’s enterprise voice and unified communications services. This role involves designing, evolving, and modernizing large-scale telephony platforms, including hybrid and cloud-based architectures, with a focus on transitioning from legacy Cisco environments to Microsoft Teams Telephony. The architect will be responsible for end-to-end design, integration, migration, and optimization of VoIP solutions, requiring expertise in SIP-based communications, secure voice architectures, and mission-critical deployments. Key responsibilities include leading architecture and design across various environments, defining migration strategies, implementing SIP trunking solutions, ensuring secure voice architecture, integrating voice services with network environments, performing capacity planning, providing Tier 3 support, and delivering executive-level briefings. The ideal candidate has a degree in Engineering or Computer Science, 10–15+ years of experience in enterprise voice/VoIP engineering, and deep expertise in VoIP protocols, networking fundamentals, and specific platforms like Cisco CUCM, Microsoft Teams Telephony, and Oracle SBCs.

What you'll do

  • Lead the design and integration of enterprise voice and VoIP solutions across various environments.
  • Define and execute migration strategies from Cisco UC to Microsoft Teams Telephony platforms.
  • Architect SIP trunking solutions ensuring secure TLS/SRTP communications between enterprise systems.
  • Serve as senior technical authority for voice call flows, signaling, and cross-platform interoperability issues.
  • Design and implement Session Border Controller (SBC) architectures for large-scale deployments.
  • Ensure compliance with security requirements including certificates, encryption, and firewall traversal.
  • Deliver executive-level briefings on architectural standards and roadmaps for enterprise voice services.

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years of experience in enterprise voice/VoIP engineering or architecture.
  • Expert-level understanding of VoIP protocols and standards (SIP, RTP/RTCP, H.323).
  • Strong knowledge of networking fundamentals for voice traffic prioritization (TCP/IP, VLANs, QoS).
  • Proven experience with Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) and Microsoft Teams Telephony.
  • Experience in secure SIP trunk configuration and TLS/SRTP implementation.
  • Deep expertise in designing large-scale telephony deployments and migrations.
