## Description

Responsibilities

 * Analyze complex challenging requirements to architect effective design solutions making up the overall system architecture including hardware, embedded software, software tools, V&V and test rigs.
 * Provide forward-looking strategies for platforms and technology development, technical risks elimination and insertion, to make the platform reliable and the product competitive.
 * Drive platform reuse strategies.
 * Make data-driven decisions using defined trade-off criteria.
 * Facilitate, drive discussions and steer cross-functional councils to solve issues, drive decisions, gain consensus, and align on technical risk mitigation strategies.
 * Communicate complex messages and negotiate with others to adopt a different point of view.
 * Influence peers to act and negotiate with external partners and vendors.
 * Utilize in-depth understanding of key technology challenges to accomplish own work and provide direction to cross-functional teams.
 * Define architecture enablers and collaborate with ART Product Owners and Product Managers on backlog definition and prioritization.
 * Provide timely communications on significant issues, risks and/or developments.
 * Maintain a focus on safety, reliability, performance, and security for embedded systems.
 * Capture and elicit detailed requirements from stakeholders to ensure comprehensive understanding and documentation.
 * Handle change management and impact analysis. Assess the effects of modifications on system architecture. Act as a resource for colleagues with less experience.
