Are you a visionary software architect looking for a challenge that goes beyond standard app development?

At Teledyne FLIR in Täby, we build the sensor systems and thermal cameras used globally in fire detection, industrial applications, and blue-light equipment. Now, we need your expertise to shape the brain inside these life-saving products.

We are on a journey to centralize and streamline our Linux-based product offerings into one robust, unified software platform. As our new Embedded Software Architect, you will own the long-term vision, architecture, and roadmap for our Android/AOSP-based platform.

This is a high-impact, strategic, and hands‑on role. You will be the technical anchor for our R&D, tasked with balancing urgent product needs with sustainable, scalable, and reusable strategies. You won’t just maintain an architecture; you will define it.

Responsibilities

• Drive Platform Strategy: Own the long-term architectural vision for our software platform, balancing urgent product needs with sustainable, reusable strategies.
• Lead Integration: Facilitate cross-functional synchronization across multiple teams to ensure scale, performance, and security.
• Translate Requirements: Collaborate with product management to convert system and business needs into high-level platform technical requirements.
• Technical Leadership: Act as the primary spokesperson for the platform area, guiding engineering decisions and fostering a culture of technical excellence.
• Drive Modernization: Lead the effort to centralize and streamline our Linux-based product offerings into a robust, unified platform.

Qualifications

We believe you thrive at the intersection of complex software, system engineering, and product development. You are a strategic problem-solver with a proven track record of leading technical decisions and successfully managing multiple product launches.

To succeed in this role, we see that you have:

• Deep, hands‑on expertise in Android platform architecture, AOSP, and embedded Linux.
• A strong background in embedded software development and system integration.
• The capacity to influence stakeholders and teams through clear, technical communication.
• Fluency in English (professional proficiency in Swedish)
• A relevant academic degree (e.g., M.Sc. in Computer Science/Engineering) OR equivalent deep, practical experience in the field.

What we offer you

• True Autonomy: The mandate to define architectural principles and shape the future of our R&D.
• A Collaborative Culture: You will work within a highly skilled, senior team of architects in an environment that values mentorship, continuous learning, and innovation.
• Global Impact: The code you architect will run in critical systems used worldwide, making a tangible difference in commercial and government sectors.

Application

Are you ready to take command of our platform architecture and drive innovation? We look forward to your application. Please note that this role is security-classified, and a security vetting process will be conducted as part of the recruitment.
