In this role, you will architect applications for new factory orchestration systems, working closely with agile cross-discipline teams to prototype new platforms and systems in the cloud and on-premise, and deliver trusted architectures that strengthen factory uptime and accelerate manufacturing flow. You will help design and deliver Connected Worker applications that unify factory work with automation and AI to improve capacity, accelerate flow, enhance quality, and modernize the user experience-integrating information across SAP ERP and planning, MES and Industry 4.0 (i4.0) platforms, our enterprise data warehouse and knowledge graph, and material-movement robotics using event-driven architectures and API-centric designs. You'll partner with Factory Industry 4.0 and Data architects to establish unified architectures for new and modernized factories that align to our Connected Factory vision and collaborate with an Enterprise Architect to ensure digital systems, applications, and processes come together to support capacity-growth and uptime-driven performance objectives. As a Digital Architect operating with our Capacity Growth Office (CGO) team, you will provide architecture and roadmaps, vision, strategy, problem anticipation, and problem solving to meet existing and future business goals-setting policy and technological standards and guiding transformational initiatives that keep our factories resilient, competitive and outcome-driven. What You Will Do * Architect and coordinate applications for new factory orchestration systems, defining end-to-end integration patterns across SAP ERP & planning, MES/i4.0, AI and data platforms, and robotics using event-driven and API-centric designs that strengthen real-time responsiveness and rapid issue recovery. * Shape and create technical roadmaps that optimize and modernize the application portfolio used in factories through process and system transformation, ensuring platforms support high availability, stable operations and predictable flow. * Define, document, and communicate solution architectures that integrate applications, factory systems, and cloud platforms; produce formal architecture artifacts using TOGAF ADM and modeling tools. * Prototype and pilot new platforms and systems with innovation teams and partners; conduct technology assessments and proofs-of-concept to validate feasibility and demonstrate value. * Provide technical leadership to Agile teams to ensure the intended architecture is realized and best practices and standards are followed; mentor developers toward solution-architect roles with a focus on building robust, supportable and observable systems. * Partner across infrastructure, networking, and cloud teams to ensure scalability, reliability, security, and observability for mission-critical factory systems. * Use and develop reusable patterns, building blocks, and reference implementations to standardize solutions and accelerate delivery; contribute hands-on code where appropriate. * Stay abreast of emerging technologies and Industry 4.0 trends and recommend innovations that drive continuous improvement, maximize uptime and maintains competitive advantage., Please ensure the role type defined below is appropriate for your needs before applying to this role. This position is classified as: Hybrid: Employees who are working in Hybrid roles will work regularly both onsite and offsite. Ratio of time working onsite will be determined in partnership with your leader. For onsite and hybrid roles, commuting to and from the assigned site is the employee's personal responsibility. As part of our commitment to maintaining a secure hiring process, candidates may be asked to attend select steps of the interview process in-person at one of our office locations, regardless of whether the role is designated as on-site, hybrid or remote. ## Related Videos - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [ChatGPT and Java: A Match Made in Heaven or Hell?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/536-chatgpt-and-java-a-match-made-in-heaven-or-hell) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) - [Beyond UML: Making Sense of AI-Generated Code through Visual Architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2102-beyond-uml-making-sense-of-ai-generated-code-through-visual-architecture) ## Related Articles - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
