About the job

As an Embedded Solution Architect at Scalian, you will play a pivotal role in driving the success of our Product Development and Technical Governance initiatives. Your expertise will guide embedded domain and project teams, ensuring the delivery of robust, real-time, and safety-compliant solutions within budget and on schedule.

  • Serve as the architectural authority, collaborating closely with Program Managers to meet project objectives.
  • Define a comprehensive end-to-end embedded system architecture utilizing QNX Neutrino RTOS, which includes OS configuration, BSP integration, middleware selection, and hardware-software partitioning.
  • Design high-availability, fault-tolerant, and deterministic architectures that satisfy stringent real-time performance requirements.
  • Ensure adherence to relevant functional safety and regulatory standards (ISO 26262, IEC 61508, EN 50128, or equivalent) by incorporating safety principles into architectural decisions.
  • Define and document system communication architectures utilizing IPC, shared memory, Ethernet, CAN, SPI, and other fieldbus technologies.
  • Lead strategies for multi-core partitioning, virtualization, and hypervisor-based isolation as needed.
  • Generate detailed architectural artifacts including system block diagrams, software component diagrams, control flow representations, deployment views, and interface specifications.
  • Conduct architecture gap analyses comparing current embedded platforms with target solutions, identifying risks, constraints, and areas for optimization.
  • Drive performance optimization strategies encompassing memory management, CPU load balancing, boot-time reduction, and enhancing real-time determinism.
  • Provide architecture risk assessments along with mitigation strategies, particularly in safety-critical and regulated environments.
  • Establish architectural guidelines, reusable design patterns, and best practices for embedded development.
  • Contribute to the enterprise-level evolution of platforms by identifying redundancies, standardization opportunities, and long-term roadmap enhancements.
  • Support capability development through technical mentoring, design reviews, proof-of-concept initiatives, and technology evaluations.
  • Engage in customer technical discussions, technical proposal phases, and bid defense activities.
