How we work together

We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company's facilities. Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company's main facilities, generally at the customers' or suppliers' locations.

## Description

This role is responsible for setting the direction for the next generation of Philips Ultrasound imaging platforms. As a Senior Systems Architect, you will lead system-level architecture across hardware, software, imaging, transducers, and clinical needs, shaping technology strategy, key product decisions, and future engineering talent.

Your role:

 * Own the long-range architecture vision and technology roadmap for ultrasound imaging platforms, aligning platform strategy with product, portfolio, clinical, and business objectives.
 * Establish architecture principles, platform interfaces, and system-level decision frameworks, translating cross-functional requirements into scalable platform strategies and measurable outcomes.
 * Serve as the technical authority for major programs from concept through launch, governing critical trade-offs across performance, reliability, cost, risk, and architectural integrity.
 * Set the technology agenda for emerging capabilities and future platforms, directing modeling, prototyping, integration, verification, validation, and risk-reduction strategies to enable evidence-based decisions. Provide organizational and technical leadership across product generations, influencing senior leaders, suppliers, and technology partners while mentoring architects and senior engineers and strengthening systems-thinking capabilities.
