Jonathan Backhaus is a seasoned software-systems architect and digital engineering leader with over a decade of experience building and operationalizing cloud-native engineering ecosystems. Currently leading ManTech’s Digital Services Ecosystem, he architects, develops, and runs AWS-based enclaves and corporate digital engineering tool stacks used across programs and clients. His career includes 14+ years at Lockheed Martin where he advanced from modeling & simulation and applied-math driven algorithm work to deputy chief engineer roles accelerating model-based engineering adoption. Jon combines deep systems-engineering rigor with hands-on ops (he runs a substantial homelab) and a knack for turning research-grade analysis into production-ready toolchains. Based in Connecticut, he balances technical leadership with practical maker instincts—building furniture in the garage when not modernizing engineering environments.
