Our commitment to professional growth and development ensures that you will have the opportunity to advance your career while working on cutting‑edge automation solutions.

We are looking for a Platform Architect to be part of a dynamic team that is passionate about making a difference in the world of AGVs and AMRs.

Position Overview

As a Platform Architect, you will be part of our Engineering department, along with the other 70+ engineers working within embedded systems, system software as well as windows applications and web services. You will work in the Engineering team, reporting directly to the Director of Engineering and working alongside the Lead Solution Architect and other system architects situated in other teams.

In this position, you play a central role in defining and evolving the architectural vision for our entire product portfolio. You will guide and support system architects embedded in our development teams, ensuring alignment across solutions and technologies. This is a strategic leadership role where your experience and insight will help shape the architectural runway for our future growth in the AGV and AMR market.

What does success look like in this position:

• Architectural Vision & Impact: Successfully defines and evolves a scalable, cohesive platform architecture that aligns with business strategy and enables long‑term growth and innovation.

• Mentorship & Portfolio Cohesion: Effectively guides and empowers system architects across teams, fostering architectural consistency and future‑proof design across the product platform.

• Strategic Decision Making: Makes architectural choices that drive product evolution, unlock innovation, and deliver sustained customer values.

• Cross-functional Integration: Builds strong partnerships with engineering, UX, product management, and data teams to ensure seamless integration and architectural integrity across all initiatives.

• Technology Leadership: Proactively identifies and adopts emerging technologies that enhance platform performance, flexibility, and cost‑efficiency.

• Governance & Standards Excellence: Ensures adherence to enterprise architecture standards and governance practices, promoting reliability, maintainability, and alignment across all solutions.

To achieve the mission and success of this position, we believe you already have:

• Educational background in Computer science, IT, Engineering, or equivalent;

• Proven experience in a senior architectural role, ideally guiding architecture across multiple teams or product lines.

• At least 5 years of experience working with solution architecture, system design, or software engineering;

• Deep understanding of architectural principles, design patterns, and modern software development practices;

• Experience working in Scrum/SAFe environments and leading technical initiatives.

• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Fluency in English, both spoken and written;

• Strong collaboration and communication skills;

• Ability to anticipate, address, and solve complex problems;

• Drive to challenge the status quo to create breakthrough innovations;

• Flexibility and adaptability in changing circumstances.

We find it beneficial if you have:

• Familiarity with cloud platforms, microservices, APIs, and integration strategies;

• Experience working with AGV and AMR, or warehouse automation and intralogistics systems.

• Proven experience in risk assessment and designing products that align with regulatory frameworks, for example secure‑by‑design methodologies and isolation through separation of concerns.

We see that our ideal candidates are committed to personal & professional growth, and they share our core values and genuine enthusiasm for innovation.
