About the Job
We are seeking an experienced Systems Architect or Chief Systems Architect to contribute to a specialized AI training project focused on complex, real-world engineering workflows.
This role is intended for senior engineering professionals with proven experience defining system architectures, managing technical interfaces, and leading multidisciplinary engineering teams. You will use your expertise to design realistic engineering scenarios, translate project objectives into structured system architectures, coordinate contributions from different technical specialists, and establish clear evaluation criteria.
The ideal candidate understands how complex systems are structured across mechanical, electrical, hardware, software, and manufacturing disciplines, and can identify dependencies, constraints, and engineering trade-offs throughout the system lifecycle. Previous AI experience is not required.
Key Responsibilities
Design realistic engineering projects that require architectural decisions across multiple technical disciplines, including mechanical, electrical, hardware, software, and manufacturing.
Translate high-level project objectives into detailed system architectures with clearly defined boundaries, subsystem responsibilities, interfaces, and technical constraints.
Break complex architectural challenges into interconnected tasks with defined inputs, deliverables, dependencies, and expert responsibilities.
Define system-level requirements and ensure alignment between subsystem specifications and overall project objectives.
Evaluate architectural alternatives and conduct technical trade studies to assess feasibility, performance, cost, reliability, and other engineering considerations.
Establish and document interfaces and dependencies between subsystems and engineering disciplines.
Define technical objectives, acceptance criteria, and evaluation frameworks for assessing architectural solutions.
Apply systems engineering principles to identify integration risks, technical conflicts, and architectural gaps.
Review system architectures and assess whether proposed solutions meet functional and operational requirements.
Ensure project scenarios reflect realistic engineering practices and industry standards.
Requirements
Substantial professional experience as a Systems Architect, Chief Systems Architect, or in a comparable technical leadership role.
Proven experience owning the architecture of complex engineering systems.
Demonstrated ability to lead and coordinate multidisciplinary technical teams.
Strong expertise in system architecture design, technical trade studies, and interface management.
Experience conducting architecture reviews and evaluating system-level design decisions.
Ability to translate complex project objectives into structured architectures, technical requirements, and measurable evaluation criteria.
Understanding of subsystem dependencies, system boundaries, integration challenges, and engineering constraints.
English proficiency at B2 level or higher.
Strong analytical, organizational, and technical communication skills.
Design system architectures for complex engineering workflows, coordinate multidisciplinary specialists, manage interfaces and trade-offs, and define requirements and evaluation criteria for realistic engineering scenarios.
Define system architectures for complex engineering workflows, coordinate multidisciplinary specialists, manage interfaces and trade studies, and establish requirements and evaluation criteria for realistic engineering scenarios.
Design and operationalize cybersecurity governance for AI, GenAI, and agentic AI, translating emerging risks into practical controls, requirements, and architecture patterns across security, architecture, and business teams.
Design enterprise data architecture and scalable cloud and on-premises platforms, develop production-ready AI and machine learning solutions, and set governance standards while guiding technical teams and stakeholders.
Design system architectures for complex engineering workflows, coordinate multidisciplinary specialists, manage interfaces and trade-offs, and define requirements and evaluation criteria for realistic engineering scenarios.
