Job Description We are looking for an experienced System Architect / Requirements Engineer for a long-term product development assignment within advanced technical systems. The project is transitioning from the Concept Phase into the Development Phase, with a strong focus on maturing the system architecture, resolving open architectural decisions, and completing and refining the system requirements.
The technical environment consists of a complex automated control system where software, hardware, and multiple physical subsystems interact. The role therefore requires a strong understanding of system architecture, requirements engineering, system integration, and technical dependencies.
Responsibilities
As part of the assignment, you will:
- Support and drive the transition from Concept Phase to Development Phase within a defined technical area.
- Drive the resolution of open architectural choices and technical trade-offs.
- Develop, structure, refine, and ensure the quality of system requirements.
- Own and take responsibility for a defined requirements area, ensuring quality, structure, and traceability.
- Support system decomposition and allocation of requirements to relevant subsystems.
- Ensure consistency between system architecture, requirements, and technical solutions.
- Lead and support technical investigations and assess their impact at system level.
- Update architecture and requirements based on findings from technical investigations and engineering decisions.
- Facilitate workshops related to architecture, requirement refinement, and technical decisions.
- Coach engineers and Product Owners in Requirements Engineering, requirement structure, and the use of requirements management tools.
- Support engineering teams with system-level expertise, technical investigations, and information sessions.
- Collaborate closely with project management, architects, Product Owners, and distributed engineering teams.
Requirements
We are looking for someone who has:
- A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a similar technical discipline.
- At least 10 years of experience in software architecture and software development.
- At least 5 years of experience in Requirements Engineering.
- Broad experience in system and software architecture within complex technical products.
- Strong understanding of systems where software, hardware, control systems, and physical subsystems interact.
- Practical experience with system decomposition, requirement allocation, and requirements traceability.
- Experience ensuring consistency and alignment between system architecture and requirements.
- Experience with requirements management tools, preferably Polarion or equivalent.
- Demonstrated experience planning and leading technical workshops.
- Experience working according to Agile development methodologies.
- Advanced professional proficiency in English.
Meritorious
- Experience from the development of complex mechatronic, automated, industrial, or embedded products is considered an advantage.
- Experience with HW/SW integration, interface management, MBSE, embedded systems, process/control systems, or system architecture involving multiple interacting subsystems is also highly relevant. Application
