Descripción del empleo

As a System of Systems (SoS) Concepts Architect

Define, develop and evolve advanced SoS architectures for complex defence systems, shaping the future of integrated capabilities at Airbus Defence and Space SAU, ensuring strategic alignment and technical coherence of diverse systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Architectural Design & Conceptualization: Design and analysis of complex SoS architectures, addressing multi-domain challenges to define how future air power-enabled systems interact and operate.
• Advanced Modeling & MBSE: Support the development and refinement of SoS architectural frameworks and methodologies using MBSE to create rigorous models that allow us to understand and harness the emergent behaviors of complex, non-managed systems.
• Strategic Roadmapping: Contribute to the development of SoS roadmaps and technology strategies, identifying and curating key solution roadmaps to guide long-term SoS evolution.
• Driving Reusability: Tackle the Architecture of Reuse challenge by designing scalable, reusable frameworks rather than one-off builds, maximizing portfolio value.
• Analysis & Integration: Conduct trade‑off analyses, feasibility studies, and impact assessments. Define interfaces, protocols, and integration strategies for heterogeneous systems to ensure seamless interoperability and data exchange.
• Risk Management: Identify and mitigate architectural risks, proactively addressing potential issues related to performance, scalability, security, and resilience.

Qualifications & Skills

• Master's degree or PhD in Systems Engineering, Aerospace, Telecommunications, Computer Science, or a closely related technical field.
• Minimum of five years of experience in systems engineering or architecture, desirably including training and hands‑on experience in SoS or complex enterprise‑level architectures.
• Prior knowledge in architectural frameworks (for example the UAF, DoDAF, MODAF) and modeling languages (for example SysML, UML), with hands‑on experience using tools such as Cameo.
• Strong understanding of defence systems, including their operational contexts, constraints, and regulatory requirements.
• Demonstrated experience in defining and integrating diverse technical domains such as communications, sensors, command & control, data analytics, and cybersecurity.
• Exceptional analytical, problem‑solving, and critical thinking skills.
• High adaptability in evolving‑requirement environments.
• Collaborative spirit and strong team‑player mindset, enjoying resolution of multi‑disciplinary problems through collective intelligence.
• Full professional fluency in both English and Spanish.
• Must meet the requirements to obtain a National Spanish Security Clearance.

Benefits

• Vacation days plus additional days off throughout the year.
• Attractive salary.
• Hybrid working model where possible.
• Collective transport service subject to working calendar and home location.
• Life, health, employee stock options, retirement plan, study grants.
• On‑site facilities such as free canteen, kindergarten, and medical office.
• Opportunities to collaborate in social and corporate social responsibility initiatives.
• Excellent upskilling opportunities and development prospects in a multicultural environment.
• Option to access special rates in products and benefits.
