Software Architect

Overview

To meet an exciting, sustainable, and expanding future, we are seeking a Software Architect . With us, you will contribute to the development of new and exciting marine robotics for the future.

You will be part of the Uncrewed Platforms division, who design, create, and build autonomous underwater vehicles and autonomous uncrewed surface vessels, which can explore from the sea surface down to six thousand meters below. Our vehicles can operate alone for days and weeks at a time, gathering information about the seafloor, the water, and objects in the water. We create and integrate advanced sensors for information gathering, maritime navigation, and communication.

The Uncrewed Platforms software group manages the full software stack, including sensor integration, vessel control and autonomy, mission planning, monitoring, data acquisition, visualization, and analysis.

The Role

You will play a pivotal role in designing and shaping complete software solutions, creating cohesive, robust, and scalable architecture. Understanding requirements, constraints, and objectives of a software system is essential, translating these into a complete and descriptive design suitable for dissemination, implementation, and execution.

The Software Architect operates at the intersection of technology, innovation, and strategy, shaping the technical direction of projects to ensure that solutions are not only functional but also aligned with organizational goals and strategies.

Responsibilities

• The overall architecture of software systems, making critical decisions about the structure, components, modules, interfaces, and technologies.
• Collaboration and communication with stakeholders to understand requirements, communicate design decisions, and align technical solutions with business objectives.
• Support and maintenance of software architecture from a life cycle management perspective.
• Documentation and dissemination of software architecture.
• The quality of the software architecture through the establishment of best practices, design patterns, and coding standards, to maintain high-quality code and system reliability.
• The evaluation of new and emerging software technologies.
• Consequence analysis and risk management.
• Guidance and empowerment of software engineers to adhere to architectural guidelines and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
