## Description

As a System Architect, you play a pivotal role in ensuring the technical success of complex, multidisciplinary projects, from early concept definition to final delivery. We are looking for an experienced system architect with affinity in one or more of the following domains: mechatronics, opto-mechatronics, imaging & optics, or advanced camera systems.

You will operate in a highly multidisciplinary environment, working closely with internal experts and leading high-tech customers. While your core strengths may lie in a specific domain, the exact scope will be shaped based on business needs and your profile. Your responsibilities are:

 * Analyze and structure system requirements to establish a clear and complete understanding of objectives and constraints
 * Define and own system-level architectures, translating requirements into robust, feasible concepts within cost, performance, and timeline boundaries
 * Decompose complex systems into manageable subsystems and define clear interfaces
 * Drive architectural trade-offs across disciplines (mechanical, optical, electrical, and software)
 * Collaborate closely with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams throughout the development lifecycle
 * Proactively identify technical risks and define mitigation strategies
 * Act as a key technical interface towards customers and internal stakeholders, communicating concepts, progress, and key decisions
