You will be able to guide the engineering teams into most desirable solutions on the integrated product level. 

The impact you’ll make:

• Driving harmonization and modular design of system (i.e. product, (sub-)system, software, service, platform, solution) architecture, product family platforms and technology choices in their assigned area of responsibility,
• Defining scope and problem domain in a crisp and structured way in a multi-disciplinary setting: defining the problem with stakeholders and identifying key issues.
• Delivering a consolidated (reference) architecture: creating well-defined building blocks/ system options & scenarios; choosing the optimal architecture for the business, leveraging technology and contributing to/driving roadmaps; establishing control points (IP).
• Ensuring solid, up-to-date and usable documentation of the architecture; using methods & tools for a structured approach.

• Product quality requirements and evaluation (desired) as well as DMFEA (must) and PMFEA (nice to have) methodology;
  Knowledge of material inspection and analysis (tomography scan, light scan, stress and performance test (hardness verification, vibration test, …);
• Fluent in spoken and written English is required;
• Good team collaboration skills and proactive team and self-management skills are important.

What we’ll give you in return:

• Internationally competitive base salary, benchmarked against global industry and markets leader
