System Architect – Virtualization

Responsibilities

• Analyze complex challenging requirements to architect effective design solutions making up the overall system architecture including hardware, embedded software, software tools, V&V and test rigs.
• Provide forward‑looking strategies for platforms and technology development, technical risks elimination and insertion, to make the platform reliable and the product competitive.
• Drive platform reuse strategies.
• Make data‑driven decisions using defined trade‑off criteria.
• Facilitate, drive discussions and steer cross‑functional councils to solve issues, drive decisions, gain consensus, and align on technical risk mitigation strategies.
• Communicate complex messages and negotiate with others to adopt a different point of view.
• Influence peers to act and negotiate with external partners and vendors.
• Utilize in‑depth understanding of key technology challenges to accomplish own work and provide direction to cross‑functional teams.
• Define architecture enablers and collaborate with ART Product Owners and Product Managers on backlog definition and prioritization.
• Provide timely communications on significant issues, risks and/or developments.
• Maintain a focus on safety, reliability, performance, and security for embedded systems.
• Capture and elicit detailed requirements from stakeholders to ensure comprehensive understanding and documentation.
• Handle change management and impact analysis. Assess the effects of modifications on system architecture. Act as a resource for colleagues with less experience.
