*
* Job Description:

*** Here at Entegris, we use advanced science to enable technologies that transform the world, and we are seeking employees who have the drive to continue that mission.

* Please note:

This will be a hybrid position, and will be located in Bedford, MA.
*
* The Role:

** Our team is looking for a highly skilled Lead, Solution Architect - R&D Digital Platforms with experience envisioning and designing end‐to‐end architectures for digital platforms, data, AI/ML, and user experience capabilities, enabling scalable, secure, and reusable solutions across complex research and development environments.

Our Digital Innovation Platform leverages advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, modeling and simulation, and cloud technologies to deliver digital tools and workflows that accelerate innovation and reduce cycle time for new product  this role, you will define and evolve the architectural foundation that enables globally scalable, secure, and reusable digital capabilities for research and development teams. You will ensure that technology components are designed cohesively across data ingestion, data products, integrations, and user workflows—while enabling enterprise reuse and long-term sustainability.

You will work closely with Product Owners, delivery teams, enterprise architecture and cybersecurity partners, and external vendors to guide architecture decisions from concept through delivery.
*
* What You’ll Do:

*** Define and evolve Digital Innovation Platform solution architecture, including target‐state blueprints and reusable patterns spanning experimentation workflows, data services, integrations and experience-layer design enabling digital R&D capabilities.
* Design integration and data architectures supporting experiment execution, data capture, contextualization, data lineage, and enterprise reuse (for example: laboratory systems integration, modern cloud data platforms, and semantic approaches).
* Guide AI‐enabled capability architecture, including search, summarization, and workflow orchestration aligned to enterprise guardrails.
* Evaluate and recommend build vs. buy vs. integrate approaches, balancing speed, scalability, maintainability, and total cost of ownership.
* Provide architectural guidance and governance across delivery teams and partners through design reviews, architecture decision records, and standards/patterns enforcement.
* Ensure alignment with cybersecurity, intellectual property protection, compliance, and enterprise architecture standards in partnership with security and enterprise architecture teams.
* Define non-functional requirements and operational patterns (scalability, reliability, performance, observability) to support global adoption and sustained platform operations.
* Enable secure delivery practices (Dev Ops/Dev Sec Ops ), advising on continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines, infrastructure-as-code patterns, and runtime considerations (including containerization where appropriate).
* Coordinate cross-domain alignment by partnering with enterprise data teams to ensure platform data and semantic models integrate cleanly with adjacent domains (for example: quality, supply chain, and manufacturing) where required.
* Promote architectural consistency and reuse by sharing best practices and driving adoption of common patterns across initiatives.
** What We Seek:
*** Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (advanced degree preferred).
* 8+ years of experience in solution architecture and delivering cloud-based platforms and custom solutions.
* Experience with digital research and development (R&D) ecosystems and laboratory informatics (for example:
