• Champion the Right Technologies:
  Identify and advocate for protocols, tools, and frameworks best suited for robust and secure device communication.
• Lead with Technical Depth:
  Guide technical design discussions, conduct architecture reviews, and mentor engineers across teams.
• Contribute to Roadmaps & Innovation:
  Help shape Lenovo's long‑term technology roadmap through prototyping, R&D collaboration, and continuous exploration of what's next.

• 4+ years of experience in software architecture, preferably in IoT, smart devices, or edge computing environments
• Strong understanding of communication protocols (e.g., MQTT, BLE, Thread, Zigbee), distributed systems, and low‑latency networking

• Experience integrating across embedded systems, cloud infrastructure, and mobile platforms
• Collaborative mindset and experience working across hardware‑software boundaries
• Clear communication skills and the ability to translate complex systems into actionable plans
