• Define the end-to-end architecture across relevant Siemens and customer capabilities, including applications, data, integrations, AI, workflow, identity, security, and operational considerations.
• Establish the solution vision, architecture principles, major design decisions, assumptions, dependencies, and acceptance criteria.
• Identify where standard product capabilities, configuration, extension, or custom development should be used, favoring maintainable and upgradeable patterns.
• Create solution-definition deliverables that provide sufficient clarity for estimation, planning, build, testing, deployment, and support.
• Own the technical integrity and coherence of the complete solution, including components delivered by Siemens, customers, partners, and distributed teams.
• Author and govern architecture documents, functional and technical specifications, interface designs, data models, decision records, and implementation guidance.
• Define and validate non-functional requirements such as security, performance, scalability, availability, traceability, usability, and supportability.
• Lead design reviews and ensure implementation decisions remain aligned with the approved architecture, scope, and customer outcomes.
• Manage technical debt and deviations by documenting rationale, impact, risk, mitigation, and required approvals.
• Maintain traceability from requirements and business processes through design, configuration, integration, testing, and acceptance.
• Ensure the architecture supports sustainable operations, future roadmap needs, and appropriate reuse across releases or use cases.
• Provide day-to-day technical direction to consultants, developers, data and AI specialists, integration resources, QA teams, and partners.
• Decompose the solution into implementable work packages and support the Project Manager with estimates, sequencing, dependencies, and detailed work breakdown structures.
• Clarify design intent, resolve technical ambiguity, and remove blockers so distributed teams can execute efficiently.
• Validate that configured, extended, and integrated components implement the approved design and meet quality expectations.
• Coordinate technical activities across build, integration, data migration, testing, deployment, and transition to operations.
• Lead technical triage and root-cause analysis for complex cross-product or cross-domain issues, ensuring decisions and corrective actions are documented.
• Support release readiness, cutover planning, hypercare, and knowledge transfer from an architecture perspective.
• Serve as the primary technical advisor to the customer during delivery, communicating architecture choices, tradeoffs, risks, and implications clearly.
• Guide customers toward Siemens best practices and standard capabilities while ensuring legitimate business and technical needs are addressed.
• Facilitate decisions across business, IT, security, architecture, and operational stakeholders when priorities or constraints conflict.
• Proactively manage customer expectations related to feasibility, scope, dependencies, quality, and technical risk.
• Present solution status, design decisions, and technical issues to project governance forums and executive stakeholders at the appropriate level of detail.
• Build customer capability through collaborative design, documentation, demonstrations, and structured knowledge transfer.
• Partner with QA and delivery leadership to define the validation strategy and verify coverage of functional and non-functional requirements.
• Identify architecture, integration, data, security, performance, and deployment risks early, with clear mitigations and owners.
• Assess proposed scope and design changes for technical feasibility, downstream impact, effort, schedule, and operational consequences.
• Support disciplined change control by providing evidence-based technical recommendations to the Project Manager and Engagement Manager.
• Confirm that technical deliverables, decisions, and acceptance evidence are complete before key stage gates and customer approvals.
• Support engagement shaping, proposals, demonstrations, estimates, solution narratives, Statements of Work, and delivery plans.
• Validate that proposed architectures and delivery approaches are feasible, appropriately scoped, and aligned with available skills and product capabilities.
• Contribute reusable reference architectures, patterns, accelerators, templates, lessons learned, and technical standards to the Solution Architecture community.
• Maintain practical fluency across the Siemens portfolio and relevant enterprise technologies, using specialists where deeper product expertise is required.
