Role Summary

You will take ownership of the end-to-end software architecture, working closely with delivery teams to define and oversee both structural and timing aspects of the system. This includes internal and external interfaces, ensuring architectural integrity is maintained throughout implementation.

The role involves identifying and documenting key architectural drivers such as real-time performance, safety, security, usability, maintainability, and reuse. You’ll define clear architectural boundaries, capture design rationale, and ensure implementation decisions align with the intended architecture.

Collaboration is central to the role. You’ll work alongside other architects, subject matter experts, and engineering teams, contributing to design reviews and wider technical decision-making.

You’ll also have the opportunity to influence longer-term software engineering strategy, including technology direction, tooling, architectural standards, and future-proofing initiatives through specialist groups and technical communities.

What We’re Looking For

*

A strong technical contributor confident in owning architectural decisions

*

Solid knowledge of software architecture principles, patterns, and methodologies

*

Experience with model-based or structured engineering approaches

*

Ability to mentor engineers and clearly explain architectural concepts

*

Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences

*

Advocate for sound engineering practices such as CI, maintainable design, and reuse

*

Ability to evaluate and explain architectural trade-offs with clear justification

*

Good understanding of software layering, interfaces, and system stacks

*

Experience influencing technology choices, tools, and frameworks

*

Strong programming background, ideally across multiple languages
