The Senior Solutions Architect will define technical requirements for healthcare technology projects, ensuring plans accommodate future growth and dependencies across multiple workstreams.
We are partnered with a large academic medical center to develop a PM-ready Healthcare Technology Execution Blueprint for Year 1 (2026 to 2027). The Senior Solutions Architect owns the technical and dependency layer — ensuring every Year 1 workstream is architected to support Years 2 and 3 without rework, and that no requirement is discovered too late.
3 Month Engagement
Remote (will require travel 1-2x per month for 3-4 days per visit) in San Francisco
Pay: Starting at $120/hour
What you'll own
- Lead forward-compatible requirements definition for each Year 1 workstream, ensuring Year 1 decisions account for the technologies and loads arriving in Years 2 and 3
- Build the full cross-domain dependency map across all four workstreams — making inter-domain relationships explicit for sequencing decisions
- Work directly with client SMEs on facility readiness assessments and infrastructure sequencing across sites
- Apply the Epic-first evaluation framework — assess native Epic capabilities before recommending third-party solutions
- Produce the technical sections of the Execution Blueprint: dependency model, facility deployment plan, forward-compatible workstream requirements
- Collaborate daily with the Senior Health IT Strategist to ensure technical findings feed directly into stakeholder alignment and narrative
Key deliverables you'll drive
- Forward-Compatible Workstream Requirements — full requirements set for each Year 1 workstream scoped to support Years 2–3
- Cross-Domain Dependency Model — complete map of predecessor/successor dependencies across all workstreams
- Facility Deployment Plan — site-by-site readiness, infrastructure remediation requirements, deployment sequencing
- Technical input to Vendor Shortlist — Epic/Apple ecosystem compatibility scoring
- Budget Framework — order-of-magnitude cost framework by domain and phase
Requirements
- 10+ years in health IT architecture, solutions design, or technical program management in complex health systems
- Deep Epic expertise — particularly EHR integration, device connectivity, and cross-module workflow dependencies
- Hands-on experience with at least two of the four engagement domains: digital infrastructure (Wi-Fi, network segmentation, IoT), enterprise mobile platforms (iOS-first, MDM), EHR integrations, or smart room technologies (IPX, RTLS, digital signage)
- Proven ability to build cross-domain dependency maps and translate them into sequenced, executable plans
- Experience conducting infrastructure and facility readiness assessments across multi-site health systems
- Able to work at the speed of a fixed-timeline engagement — structured thinking, fast output, high rigor
Nice to have
- Experience with RTLS deployment, AMR logistics, or smart room / IPX platforms
- Familiarity with Epic-first evaluation frameworks for third-party technology decisions
