Job Summary
The Systems Architect is responsible for defining, developing, and maintaining the high-level architecture of complex systems throughout their lifecycle. This role establishes architectural principles, core design features, and a long-term technical vision to ensure system integrity as solutions evolve. The Systems Architect works closely with stakeholders, product leadership, and engineering teams to align system architecture with business objectives, technical standards, and product strategies.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and maintain the system-level technical roadmap aligned with product and program strategies
Collaborate with users, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to understand evolving system requirements
Define high-level system requirements based on stakeholder needs, cost constraints, scheduling considerations, and operational objectives
Ensure system requirements are complete, consistent, correct, and operationally defined
Perform cost-benefit analyses to determine optimal solutions using manual processes, software, hardware, or a combination of approaches
Promote reuse of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) or internally developed components where appropriate
Allocate system requirements into well-defined subsystems and partitions to minimize interdependencies and communication overhead
Coordinate with architects of related systems to ensure alignment across product roadmaps and enterprise architecture
Define system interfaces and information exchange requirements between subsystems and external systems
Decompose large systems into manageable subsystems and components for efficient execution by engineering teams
Ensure architectural quality, consistency, and compliance with defined standards and best practices
Perform system-level technical risk identification, assessment, and mitigation
Develop acceptance test requirements in collaboration with design, test, and user teams to validate system performance and functionality
Create architectural models, prototypes, and early documentation to support alignment between users and engineering teams
Maintain system integrity by identifying and resolving interface risks and integration challenges early in the development lifecycle
Required Experience
Significant experience in systems architecture and system-level design
Strong understanding of system engineering principles and architectural frameworks
Experience working within data center environments or infrastructure-related domains
