Job description

As a System Architect, you will own the end-to-end architecture, system definition, and strategic implementation for our entire portfolio of robotic systems, from long-term vision to field deployment, collaborating closely with executive leadership and technical leads, and forming a critical partnership with the Product Manager to ensure efficiency; this pivotal role drives strategic programs like Anti-drone warfare, ISR and strike systems, Equipment fusion (especially aeronautics), or C2 and IA., * System-of-Systems Design & Strategy: Translate complex strategic goals into global, system-of-systems designs, defining and championing the overall system architecture strategy across the enterprise;

  • Architectural Sizing & Verification: Ensure all systems meet defined needs and are correctly sized through rigorous verification of scope, complex system-of-systems simulations, and precise system sizing, guiding major technical investments;
  • Coordination and Technical Leadership: Coordinate large multidisciplinary engineering organizations, providing overarching technical leadership across cross-functional design efforts (mechanical, electrical, software, GNC, ML, product), ensuring long-term performance, robustness, and strategic reliability across the enterprise;
  • Specification & Integration Governance: Govern system integration standards and validation processes, contributing to the complex process of specification management by ensuring all architectural prerequisites are met and driving multi-system architecture reviews for enterprise design consistency;
  • Continuous Improvement: Implement and institutionalize processes to enhance requirements traceability, system documentation standards, and validation workflows across the entire engineering organization.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in system engineering or architecture, with significant time in a senior or lead role;
  • MSc in Engineering (any field); PhD is a plus;
  • Specific Domain: Experience in the defense sector is mandatory, and drones are a big plus;
  • Strong knowledge in one of those specializations:
  • C2 (Command and Control) & AI;
  • ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance);
