This position mandates comprehensive leadership, effectively connecting the domains of Information Technology (IT), Methods & Tools, and the core Business functions. * Strategic Roadmap Definition: The Functional Architect is directly responsible for defining and maintaining the Project Functional Roadmap . This involves a continuous process of mediation, ensuring alignment and seamless translation between highly technical implementation teams and the functional requirements articulated by the business stakeholders. * Target Architecture Design: A primary duty is to meticulously design the target functional architecture for the PLM landscape. This design must not only address current needs but also anticipate future scalability and integration demands. * Formal Documentation and Compliance: They are the key author of formal documentation, most notably the Solution Architecture Dossier . Furthermore, the Functional Architect is accountable for ensuring the complete compliance of the proposed solutions with all relevant Company and Airbus Group standards, policies, and regulatory frameworks. * User-Centric Tailoring and Performance: A critical focus is the tailoring of designs to achieve superior user-centricity. This includes establishing, monitoring, and enforcing specific performance metrics and Service Level Agreement (SLA) commitments. A prominent example of this commitment is the stringent 8-day User Management SLA , ensuring that essential access and provisioning tasks are executed within the defined time-frame to maintain operational efficiency. * Robustness and Transformation Safeguarding: During periods of significant transformation or upgrade (e.g., implementing a new PLM solution), the Functional Architect holds the responsibility of safeguarding the functional robustness, integrity, and operational stability of the current AH PLM Backbone. This dual focus-advancing the target architecture while ensuring the current system remains reliable-is essential for mitigating business risk., The domain designs, develops, maintains, and operates all solutions that are part of the end-to-end (E2E) PLM activities for Airbus Helicopters . In this position, you contribute to activities in the scope of the Design & Engineering area and will have to: * Documentation and Consistency (FAD Priority): Author and deliver the Solution Architecture Dossier , aggregating and synthesizing inputs from the Large Solution Functional Architecture Dossiers (FADs) to maintain a single, coherent source of truth. * Strategic Vision and Integrated Design: Proactively define the long-term functional and methodological trajectory of IT products and services, modeling solutions, and performing integrated component design, thus ensuring alignment with the organization's strategy and Methods & Tools standards. * Expertise and Transversal Engagement: Provide essential functional expertise throughout the application development lifecycle and deep expertise in Business Processes (including BPR support), collaborating with other Architects and developers to design high-quality functional solutions. ## Related Videos - [Kubernetes and Microservices with Multi-Model Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/382-kubernetes-and-microservices-with-multi-model-databases) - [We (don't) need a software architect!?!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/663-we-don-t-need-a-software-architect) - [Fault Tolerance and Consistency at Scale: Harnessing the Power of Distributed SQL Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1146-fault-tolerance-and-consistency-at-scale-harnessing-the-power-of-distributed-sql-databases) - [Next Level Enterprise Architecture: Modular, Flexible, Scalable, Multichannel and AI-Ready?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1017-next-level-enterprise-architecture-modular-flexible-scalable-multichannel-and-ai-ready) - [How to Domain Model – An example from manufacturing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/742-how-to-domain-model-an-example-from-manufacturing) - [Branch your database like your code: How schema changes and pull requests go hand in hand](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/350-branch-your-database-like-your-code-how-schema-changes-and-pull-requests-go-hand-in-hand) ## Related Articles - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Best Companies to Work For in Paris: Top 25 Companies in 2023 ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/190-best-companies-to-work-for-in-paris-top-25-companies-in-2023) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
