Job description

As a System Architect in a hightech environment, you play a central role in designing and integrating complex systems that combine electronics, mechanics, and software. Your focus lies on creating robust architectures that support innovative products within the R&D phase, ensuring seamless interaction between all system components. You analyze requirements from multiple disciplines and translate them into cohesive system designs that meet technical and functional specifications.

Key activities include:

• Designing integrated system architectures combining electronics, mechanics, and embedded software
• Translating multidisciplinary requirements into comprehensive system designs
• Coordinating interface definitions between hardware components and embedded software
• Developing models and simulations for early validation of system concepts
• Providing architectural guidance during firmware development processes
• Reviewing design documents for completeness and consistency
• Defining test strategies for integrated systems during R&D prototyping phases
• Monitoring configuration management of architecture-related deliverables
• Presenting architectural solutions to stakeholders across departments

By managing these tasks effectively, you ensure that complex hightech products evolve smoothly from concept through development within a structured yet flexible architectural framework. This role requires balancing innovation with practical implementation considerations in an interdisciplinary environment where electronics, mechanics, software, and embedded systems converge.
