Systems Architect

Are you interested in working for a global organization focused on driving the design, sales, adoption and use of cutting edge, innovative products and analytical instruments? Do you thrive on managing complex initiatives, solving intricate problems and defining excellence in new product development? Are you excited to contribute to the operational excellence of a business with an impeccable reputation in quality and precision?

If you answered yes, yes, yes, yes, then let's discuss our System Architect role!

The Systems Architect holds a pivotal position in shaping architectural designs and overseeing the technological trajectory of sensor systems crucial for advancing Anton Paar’s analytical laboratory instrumentation. Key duties and responsibilities of the Systems Architect encompass:

• Architectural Planning: Articulating the architectural structure by decomposing the system into constituent components, specifying interactions and interfaces between components, and making informed choices about the technologies and resources to be employed in the design.
• Functional Performance: Grasping the operational requirements of systems, evaluating their capacity to withstand stress, and determining the necessary elements for robust system designs.
• Business Alignment: Factoring in the organization's strategic goals, scale, financial constraints, and available resources to determine the type of system required to meet these objectives.

As a Systems Architect, you'll be a creative thinker adept at managing multiple projects within established timelines.

Your role will involve active collaboration with cross‑functional teams within the organization to fine‑tune product requirements.

Key responsibilities include:

• Collaborating with cross‑functional platform development and product infrastructure teams to define requirements for new instruments and systems.
• Formulating high‑level design and system specifications with a keen focus on seamless system integration and feasibility.
• Engaging with both hardware and software aspects in tasks such as instrument setup, technical R&D, process enhancement, and long‑term system planning.
• Assisting the project manager in supervising development teams to ensure alignment with the initial design.
• Contributing to the formulation and mapping of long‑term technical strategic directions.
• Evaluating the current environment to identify critical deficiencies and proposing solutions for enhancement.
• Thoroughly documenting essential system components, interfaces, infrastructure, and process flows while ensuring documentation is kept up‑to‑date with design changes.
• Serving as a Subject Matter Expert in platform development and product infrastructure.
• Resolving complex issues and coordinating meetings when required to find solutions for seemingly insurmountable challenges.
• Safeguarding and preserving the organization’s intellectual property.
• Analyzing industry and technical trends to identify their impact on the existing architecture.
• Assessing new technologies for potential application in our platform.
