Platform Architect-Software Applications

• Develop migration concepts for existing engineering applications to the platform.
• Interface to the data backbone (custom knowledge graph project, Team Center, and S4E).
• Ensure seamless data flow through a definable chain of engineering applications.
• Integrate Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software applications, such as CAD systems.
• Support the implementation of Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) concepts for AI and ML-augmented engineering applications.

Responsibilities

• Systematically elaborate functional and non-functional requirements with developers, architects, and product owners of engineering applications.
• Develop initial solution architecture that translates identified requirements into technical solutions, adapting the architecture as requirements evolve.
• Ensure that all functional and non-functional requirements are met by the architecture.
• Derive implementation work packages following the scaled agile framework (features, stories) and support effort estimation.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to development teams.
• Develop reference implementations for critical components and perform code reviews to ensure adherence to coding standards.
• Ensure adherence to Siemens Energy software development regulations (i.e., cybersecurity).
• Stay up to date with emerging technologies and industry trends, particularly in the area of artificial intelligence.

Skills Required

• Experience with implementation of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA).
• Expertise in DevOps practices, Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CI/CD) in Azure DevOps, including Infrastructure as Code (IAC).
• Experience with Azure Service Bus and container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Strong software testing knowledge.
• Proficiency in C# (.NET) and Python.
• Experience in requirement engineering (functional and non-functional).
• Strong stakeholder communication and management skills.
• Experience in systematic architecture development.
• Software architecture certification (e.g., Siemens Software Architect or iSAQB) is a plus.
• Experience with the scaled agile framework is a plus.
• ArchiMate knowledge is a plus.
