Description

Department: IT Strategy/Architect, MTA Headquarters

Location: 2 Broadway, New York, NY 10004

Position Title: Enterprise Strategy Technology & Engineering Fellow

Hourly Rate: $21.00 (Undergraduate)

OVERVIEW OF DEPARTMENT:

The Enterprise Systems Architecture (ESA) group serves as a strategic and technical leadership function within MTA IT, responsible for guiding the design, integration, and governance of enterprise-wide technology solutions. ESA oversees a portfolio of highly technical functions and software applications that are central to delivering secure, scalable, and cost-effective IT services across all MTA agencies and administrative units.

The group ensures that architectural decisions, delivery practices, and standards align with both agency-specific needs and the broader goals of the MTA enterprise. This includes managing the full lifecycle of business-facing and infrastructure-enabling applications, defining, and maintaining reference architecture models, and supporting investment, sustainment, or retirement decisions. ESA also oversees platforms such as network monitoring tools, configuration systems, and low-code environments that support field assets and operational continuity.

Through strategic planning, interface design, and governance modeling, ESA promotes resilience, interoperability, and long-term sustainability of IT assets. The group plays a key role in mentoring teams, shaping technology vision, and enabling innovation across the MTA's digital infrastructure, while ensuring alignment with business objectives and enterprise strategy.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Fellow will support strategic planning, architecture governance, data & analytics, and emerging-technology evaluation.

  • Assist in creating or updating the MTA-wide enterprise architecture inventory: cataloging key systems, data flows, interfaces, technical standards, or documentation gaps.
  • Analyze business / technical requirements for upcoming capital-program-driven technology projects, to ensure alignment with enterprise architecture policies.
  • Develop dashboards, matrices or visualizations (e.g. in Power BI) to show alignment, gaps, risks, or cost-benefit of proposed technology investments.
  • Support drafting sections of architecture-governance deliverables (policies, standards, roadmaps).
  • Stakeholder outreach: interview or survey internal teams on their architecture needs, gaps, or priorities.
  • Propose pilot-scale evaluation of an emerging / innovative technology (for example, cloud migrations, data governance improvements).
  • Document and present your findings: short-form memo or presentation to senior leadership (architecture lead / IT executive).
  • Fellow will collaborate with enterprise architects, data analysts, project managers, and other stakeholders across MTA (IT divisions, capital planning, operations) to deliver actionable analysis and recommendations.
PROJECTS:
  • Improved Technology Alignment: By helping to document and analyze the MTA's enterprise architecture, the Fellow will provide valuable insights that support strategic technology planning and ensure future projects adhere to established standards and business priorities.
  • Enhanced Decision-Making: Deliverables such as data dashboards, system inventories, and technology assessments will give leadership better visibility into the agency's technology portfolio-enabling smarter investments and risk management.
  • Support for Digital Transformation: Fellow's contributions will aid in the MTA's ongoing efforts to modernize legacy systems, move toward cloud-based and data-driven solutions, and improve interoperability across divisions.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite is a must.
  • The candidate should possess organizational, analytical and communication skills.
  • The candidate should be able to work well under pressure and prioritize tasks effectively.
  • The candidate should have a keen eye for detail and be able to work independently while being an active team player.
REQUIRED EDUCATION:
  • Matriculated in a undergraduate program in good standing with at least 2.5 GPA
  • Major(s) Preferred: Computer Science, Information Technology, Systems Engineering, Architecture; Information Systems, Enterprise Architecture, or related field.
