Jobbeschreibung

About the role

We are seeking a Systems Architect to join our Pre-Automation Services Team where you will play a critical role collaborating with our customers to shape the front-end architecture of advanced automated manufacturing systems. This is a conceptual and pre-design role that defines the digital and physical frameworks guiding all downstream engineering controls and software activities.

Your core mission is to determine what should be built and how it should function using systems thinking simulation and data-driven decision making to architect solutions that are scalable integrated and future-ready. This is not a detailed design controls or implementation role. This is a strategic design role at the intersection of systems engineering industrial engineering and advanced automation focused on upstream system architecture risk reduction and requirements development.

You will work directly with customers and internal teams to define high-level concepts assess technical feasibility and develop architectural content that serve as the blueprint for future automation programs.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Systems Industrial Mechanical Software or Electrical Engineering or equivalent. Masters or MBA is an asset.
• 7 years of experience in systems architecture automation strategy or conceptual design of complex manufacturing systems
• Systems engineering principles (requirements development interface management V-model risk analysis and mitigation)
• Simulation tools (Plant Simulation or equivalent)
• Industrial automation systems (robotics PLCs SCADA MES data acquisition I / O)
• Data and integration protocols (OPC Ethernet / IP etc.)
• Vertical integration layers above core automation systems (MES SCADA ERP cloud / edge platforms analytics machine learning artificial intelligence etc.)
• Smart factory frameworks (Industry 4.0 Digital Twin concepts etc.)
• Lean Six Sigma and applying CI tools at a systems level
• Comfortable using Microsoft 365 suite of tools (Word Excel PowerPoint Visio Project)
• Strategic systems-level thinker with the ability to distill complexity into clarity
• Confident communicator who can align technical and non-technical stakeholders

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the conceptual system architecture of advanced manufacturing platforms integrating automation digital systems data physical equipment and operations in close collaboration with customers
• Define system boundaries material and data flows interfaces and functional blocks based on customer goals and future state use cases and that serve as the foundation for follow-on detailed engineering design
• Develop clear actionable system requirements and acceptance criteria that are traceable to customer needs business goals and regulatory requirements
• Conduct simulation modeling and studies to explore architectural options capacity strategies and system performance scenarios
• Leverage data-driven methods to validate design assumptions identify risks and optimize architectural outcomes before handoff to design teams
• Proactively identify and mitigate early-stage product process design integration performance and technology risks through proof-of-concept work or conceptual validation
• Engage stakeholders including customers and internal teams to understand use cases digital maturity and future systems needs
• Collaborate with engineering controls IT operations and sales to ensure architecture aligns with customers long-term strategic goals and execution capabilities
• Produce architectural deliverables including system user requirements documents (URSs) functional design specification documents (FRSs) functional block diagrams and early risk registers
• Update and evolve architectural requirements and assumptions as system understanding grows and scope evolves
• Contribute to enterprise-wide frameworks for smart manufacturing digital enablement and Information Technology (IT) / Operational Technology (OT) integration
