Software Architect

Key Responsibilities

• Development (design, implement, test and debug) of core and/or application specific software requirements for automotive embedded electronic module serial production projects
• Develop software in compliance with a formal ASPICE/CMMi based Global Product Engineering Process (GPEP). 
• Support rest of the functional disciplines with all aspects related to software architecture
• Perform work assignments as a highly competent software engineer, requiring independent design, implementation, and testing of the software components
• Work assignments primarily involve intermediate through advanced level work, moving toward complete technical competency and mastery of the field.
• Define, document, and communicate the software architecture 
• Ensure all software project team is using it correctly
• Make sure the software and system architectures are in synchronization
• Make sure that the architecture is not only the right one for operations, but also for deployment and sustainment and only as complex as it needs to be in order to meet the system requirements and system architecture.
• Resolve disputes and make trade-offs and resolve technical problems
• Provide high level guidance and direction on project work, making sure that new application projects fit in with an overall software architecture and strategic vision
